Chapter 240: Do You Want to Be Free?
For some reason, there was still a part of her that felt sad every time she heard those malicious thoughts from Silas’s mind.
Even though she knew everything he had ever done for her was fake—that his kindness was just a mask and he had never truly meant to help her—sometimes ... she couldn’t help but wish that maybe, just maybe, there was still a trace of the good man she used to believe he was.
She knew it was foolish to think that way. And yet, she couldn’t help it.
Because nothing hurt more than realizing that someone you once trusted with everything—someone you thought would protect you—had been the one holding the knife at your throat.
That’s why she had been avoiding Silas, not just because she felt unsafe around him, but because every time she heard what was really inside his mind, it felt like a thousand tiny needles pricking straight through her heart.
"That’s very kind of you, Dr. Silas." Primrose forced a smile, trying her best to hide the sadness and disappointment in her eyes.
She looked directly at him, as if searching for any small piece of the man she used to know, the gentle doctor who once made her feel safe.
But unfortunately, that version of him had only ever existed in her imagination.
His kindness, his sweet words, his smile, none of it was real.
At first, she felt nothing but sadness and heartbreak. But over time, that sorrow had slowly transformed into rage.
That fury had burned so fiercely inside her that now ... all she wanted was to crush him into dust.
She wanted him to suffer, more than he could ever imagine.
