Stephan hummed lightly.
I looked at the door, and my eyes flickered. "Can you open the door then, Mr. Stephan?"
Noticing that Stephan was moving, I looked at him and immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
He had opened his eyes and was staring fixedly at me.
I gulped and asked in a quivering voice, "Are you drunk, Mr. Stephan?"
Stephan got up to his feet and said blandly, "Don't infuriate Mr. Milan. He’s more frightening than you think."
He turned around and left after saying that.
I froze in place, my mood extraordinarily complicated.
Looking at Stephan's back, I said in a hoarse voice, "I just want to see how they're doing."
"They won't die," the man said indifferently.
I slumped to the ground, feeling like I was going to break down.
Was there no other way to save them?
What if I begged Milan?
There was no better way, so I could only try my luck.
I got up from the floor and ran to the kitchen.
After running into the kitchen, I found a fruit knife and slit my wrist.
This was not the first time I had harmed myself. It was nothing terrifying to me, so I did it without a single hesitation.
I walked to the living room and fell to the floor slowly.
Just as I was about to lose consciousness, I saw a servant rushing toward me in a hurry. I breathed a sigh of relief and closed my eyes.
