"That's your plan?"
Coralie did not expect that Yohan would think so!
However, Yohan was right that Skylar would definitely come for Coralie.
"Why would I bring you here otherwise? We'll stay here for a while, and then we'll go home."
Yohan dragged Coralie as he walked.
In the quiet night, only the clanking sound of Coralie's shackles could be heard.
There was a group of servants waiting in the manor. Coralie tagged behind Yohan, but Yohan didn't take her upstairs. Instead, he took her to a staircase to the basement.
"Where are we going?"
Coralie was alerted because the tunnel was very narrow, and only two people could walk side by side. There was a musty odor in the tunnel, and the light was very dim.
However, Yohan didn't say anything. He just pulled her and walked down step by step.
Behind them were two bodyguards who were holding the iron ball for Coralie. Coralie knew that she couldn't run away, so she had to keep moving.
When they reached the bottom, Coralie saw an ordinary room.
There was a bed, a table, and a wardrobe.
"Yohan, we... we can't..."
Coralie stepped back because there seemed to be nothing to do in here except to sleep.
"What?" Yohan asked.
"I'm not mentally prepared yet. I won't run away, I really won't, but can you give me a little time to think on this matter?"
Coralie was scared. This kind of fear did not only come from Yohan's ability to overpower her, but also from the oppressive feeling that the room was emitting.
The room was plastered with dark red wallpaper, which looked a little greasy. The dim crystal chandelier swayed on the ceiling.
There was no bathroom in it; there was nothing but the room. It looked more like a cell.
"Well, I know, I won't force you." Yohan said with a smile, "But you wanted to escape. Of course I have to give you some punishment. Otherwise, if you don't behave well next time and try to escape again, I'll be very sad."
Yohan’s smile was terrifying.
"I won't run away, really."
Coralie could only swear first.
However, Yohan did not respond to her at all. Instead, he turned to the two bodyguards and said, "Come, tie her up."
"Tie?"
As soon as Yohan gave the order, the two bodyguards dragged Coralie to the bed and handcuffed her hands and feet to the bed.
Throughout the whole process, Coralie desperately shouted "help" and "no".
But Yohan didn't seem to be bothered.
When Coralie was tied up, a doctor-like man in a white coat came down the stairs with a medical box in his hand. He looked at Coralie who was tied up on the bed and asked Yohan, "Young Master, inject now?"
"Or else?"
Yohan glanced at the doctor.
"Inject what?"
Coralie was tied up on the bed and was staring at the doctor with horrified eyes.
The doctor took out a very thin syringe from the medicine box. It was no more than one gram, and it contained a transparent liquid.
"What's that? No, Yohan, no."
In the whole room, only Coralie’s begging for mercy was heard.
The fear of her unknown at what Yohan would inject into her was the most daunting. Coralie didn't know what was in the needle. She didn't know if it was a drug or euthanasia injection.
