Luckily, it wasn't the stench of a rotting corpse. It was just the smell of stale, humid air and rotten food.
A woman who was extremely frail and unnaturally pale was locked down here with all four of her limbs chained. She sat on the bed, hugging her knees with a blank expression.
"Stacy!" Felix quickly wheeled himself next to the bed.
Even Olivia, who was a seasoned veteran, felt emotional when she saw the state Stacy was in.
Neal was such a bastard. He ripped a couple apart, didn't cherish the woman he snatched away, and even abused her so much.
It was clear that Stacy had been imprisoned in the basement for quite some time. She was also in shock. She looked at the people who had just entered the room blankly without any reactions.
Tears welled up in Olivia's eyes. She asked someone to get a towel to cover up Stacy's nearly naked body.
Felix felt terrible. He didn't shy away from her. Instead, he hugged her tightly and comforted her repeatedly.
"Don't worry, Stacy. I'm here now."
Olivia sent the two of them to the hospital. She sighed deeply as she exited the hospital.
She used to feel bad for herself. But she understood that she wasn't the only one who had a hard life.
Ethan tried to calm her nerves. "Don't worry, I won't let the Monroes off the hook."
"If Dad knew the Monroe family who he helped out ended up hurting so many people, he would be so sad."
"Liv, you need to know that the Monroes won't be the only shady people in the world. There will always be people lurking in the darkness. Everyone has their own paths to walk."
"That's true. Let's go home."
Olivia cherished her current life even more after she witnessed what had happened to Stacy.
…
Her special phone rang in the afternoon.
She had already notified the organization that she wouldn't be accepting any more missions for some time after the failure of the last mission.
So, she was quite surprised when the phone rang. Even so, she still picked up. "Hello?"
"Septem."
