Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) novel Chapter 455

When Ariah opened her eyes, she smelled disinfectant in her room. For a moment, she thought that she was in the hospital, and it was so dark that she could not tell exactly where she was.

She was too weak to get up from the bed, which must be caused by the injection. Otherwise, she would not be in such an abnormal state.

She remembered what had happened before she fainted. Someone had broken into her room when she was still sleepy. She thought it was Ricco, but it was a man wearing a clown mask while laughing eerily.

Just when she was about to scream, the man covered her mouth and nose with a towel stained with the drug. The more she struggled, the more poison she inhaled, which put her in a coma.

However, in the face of such a scary situation, she would definitely struggle. That was why she fainted very soon after that.

When she opened her eyes again, she found herself on the bed.

Ariah wanted to shout, but she didn't even have the strength to do so. What was going on? Was she captured by another bad guy again?

She had never offended anyone, but why did so many unfortunate things happen to her?

Could it be that she did not offer incense to the god? Otherwise, why would she be punished this way?

As she thought about it, she complained about her fate, during which some noises from the side pulled her back to reality.

"Who is it?" She called out in a hoarse voice.

Someone was crying. She was sure of that although it was not loud.

It was too strange for someone to sob in the dark. "W-Who are you? Why are you crying?"

The person continued sobbing.

"Talk to me now!" Ariah was anxious.

"I-1 don't know why I'm here. When I opened my eyes, I found myself here." The person cried as she finished speaking. Judging from the voice, it must be a young girl.

Ariah's heart skipped a beat. "How long have you been here?"

"It's been a long time. I'm thirsty and hungry. C-Can you save me?"

How could Ariah save her?

Ariah smiled bitterly. She couldn't even protect herself, how should she save the child?

As Ariah calmed down, she tried to get some information from the girl. "Have you met anyone since you were locked up here?"

"Y-Yes."

"Who was it?"

"It's a... very scary man. He didn't talk to me. He often stood in the distance and laughed at me. That kind of look was very horrible. There were twice when I woke up from my dream. He was beside my bed, touching me with... his hand... I want to go home..."

Suppressing her despair, Ariah continued to ask softly, "Can you tell me what your name is?"

"My name is Kierra."

"Okay, Kierra. I just heard that you have been in the dark for many days. If I'm not mistaken, it should be a closed basement. It's damp without sunlight. If you stay in the dark for too long, you can see things in the darkness. Can you see me?"
