Crystal's POV:
Lucy choked on the water. She coughed and hacked as she struggled.
When she was about to suffocate, I grabbed her hair and yanked her out of the water. "You're still not gonna tell me where my son is?"
Lucy coughed for several times. Her eyes were half closed, and her hair was dripping and clinging to her cheeks. But even the feeling of death did not soften Lucy at all. She still refused to tell me where my son was. "I don't know what you are talking about. If you want to kill me, just do it."
Furious, I said coldly, "Aren't you afraid of death?"
Lucy shrieked with laughter and her body trembled violently. Then she opened her eyes wide and tried to glare at me. She looked like a beast captured by its prey. Even if she was about to die, she just wouldn't give in.
It was absurd. After so many years, Lucy still had not changed a bit. She would still deny her crimes even if all the evidence were laid out before her.
Lucy grabbed my hand and shook it twice. She clenched her teeth and snarled. "If you want to kill me, go ahead and do it. Stop threatening me. You're just wasting your time here because I don't know where your son is."
"You!" I grabbed her collar tightly as blood rushed to my fingers. "Don't push me to my limit!"
Lucy scoffed derisively, as if she thought I wouldn't dare to make a move. Her arrogance and cynicism shone through her gaze.
Meanwhile, the she-wolf had stopped pounding on the door. I had no idea if she had gone to get help or had simply given up. Now, only the sound of water and our confrontation could be heard in the bathroom.
"Sylvia."
Lucy broke the silence again. She suddenly thought of something and said, "No, I should call you Crystal. Do you really believe that killing me will help you in any way? You should go look for your son instead of venting your anger on me."
"Are you still going to play dumb? You kidnapped my son. Only you have lived in that room, and only you know the secret passage!" I couldn't help but shout and shove Lucy under the water again.
