Cole turned around and left.
Angeline looked at Cole's back that was long, tall, and staunch. For some reason, it overlapped with Jay’s figure as she remembered him to be.
Angeline's lifeless and dull pupils gradually gained their focus as a touch of confusion emerged from the gleaming and lucid waters.
Jaybie was gone, and Cole's mission in Imperial Capital was completed.
Cole told her that his reason for coming to Imperial Capital was to find someone who had disappeared for 40 to 50 years. Was it Aunt Chloe, perhaps?
Whereas Jaybie’s mother's surname... was Yorks too?
Could this be a mere coincidence, or...
Angeline suddenly leaped out of bed and bolted outside like she had gone mad.
At the door of the ward, Grayson told her, "He's gone, M s. Severe."
Angeline was stumped.
No one knew how long it took before Angeline's calm pupils, ones that looked as though an old monk was meditating, started coming back to life again.
Grayson heard Angeline's soft voice saying, "Prepare m
e a sharp knife, Grayson. The sharper the better."
Although her voice was soft, it carried a sharp edge with the intention to obliterate everything.
Grayson was dumbfounded. "Why do you need it, Ms. Severe?"
Angeline staggered to the bed, her voice strangely calm and cold. "I picked up a docile and lovable puppy the other day. After feeding it for a few days, I realized that it bites. It'll only bring disaster to keep such an unruly wild thing."
Grayson looked extremely skeptical. "Yes, Ms. Severe."
Then, Angeline washed away her despondency. She was not only eating, drinking, and sleeping, but she had also begun physical training.
She asked the doctor to prescribe energy fluids for her.
