Rita walked to the bedside and sat on the small stool next to the lied.<\/p>\n
She glanced at Yulia, who was already awake, and said softly, \u201cYulla, you\u2019re awake.<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you hungry? I brought you some Oatmeal.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe doctor said you can only have liquid food for the next few days and should avoid heavy meals, so I made Oatmeal for you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Yulia didn\u2019t say a word, her gaze still vacant, staring at the ceiling<\/p>\n
Rita stood up, noticing the wetness at the corner of her eyes, and gently said, \u201cYulia, it\u2019s okay. Everything will be alright. Grandma\u2019s here.<\/p>\n
\u201cBe good. It\u2019s just a small setback in life.<\/p>\n
\u201cOnce you\u2019re recovered, you\u2019ll still be an elegant, gracious, and knowledgeable young lady as before.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hearing what her grandma said, Yulia stared at the ceiling and chuckled helplessly. \u201cHahaha.<\/p>\n
\u201cI want to see my parents. I need to see them. Grandma, please give me my phone. I need to call them.<\/p>\n
\u201cI want my parents to take me back to Fresburg. I don\u2019t want to stay here in Clusia anymore, and I don\u2019t want Morris.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s a monster and terrifying. I can\u2019t handle this. I was just too delusional and overestimated myself.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m truly ridiculously foolish.<\/p>\n
\u201cPlease, Grandma\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
Yulia\u2019s tears kept falling as she desperately begged Rita.<\/p>\n
Rita\u2019s face grew colder as she heard the remarks.<\/p>\n
Staring at Yulia\u2019s extremely distressed face, she said, \u201cYulia, you might have had a bit of a mental shock. Just rest for a few more days to let your wounds heal.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll take care of things like your phone for now.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you have something to tell your parents, wait until your wounds heal in a few days.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet\u2019s leave it at that. I have things to do, so I\u2019ll be off now.\u201d<\/p>\n
After those words, Rita left the room without any sign of hesitation.<\/p>\n
The large hospital room felt empty once again, except now there was a steaming pot of oatmeal left behind.<\/p>\n
Yulia tightly shut her eyes after watching her grandmother leave, and let out a mocking laugh.<\/p>\n
She kept laughing.<\/p>\n
Every time she laughed, her wound would throb with pain, but she didn\u2019t care anymore.<\/p>\n
She was mocking herself.<\/p>\n
At that moment, she realized that she was just a dispensable pawn.<\/p>\n

It turned out that her grandfather\u2019s advice and Cherise\u2019s warning when she first arrived at the entrance of Azure Peak were all meant to remind her.<\/p>\n
Good advice was hard to swallow, and now she finally understood it.<\/p>\n
She was experiencing pain, helplessness, frustration, and regret.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, it was all too late.<\/p>\n
After chatting with Jason and Dora at GlobalVision Group, Cherise leisurely made her way down to the underground second floor to find Crow.<\/p>\n
Cherise had asked him to cover two classes at Betrico University. He had just returned from outside.<\/p>\n
Seeing Cherise, he shook his head with a straight face, looking very aggrieved.<\/p>\n
He picked up the coffee Cherise ordered for him from the table and gulped it down.<\/p>\n
Cherise leaned against the wall with her arms crossed, watching him.<\/p>\n
Crow relaxed and said, \u201cBoss, that was really tough.<\/p>\n
\u201cOnly today did I realize how much I owed my teachers back then. I never knew teaching was such hard work.<\/p>\n
Teachers have to be standing up there and talking non\u2013stop, and providing feedback.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd that\u2019s at a university; I can\u2019t imagine how challenging it must be for elementary school teachers.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise smiled. \u201cYou finally know, but it\u2019s never too late.<\/p>\n
\u201cAlright, enough about that. Did you complete what I asked you to do?\u201d<\/p>\n
Crow took another sip of his coffee and said, \u201cOf course, Boss. You can always rely on me to get things done.<\/p>\n
\u201cI worked overtime last night. I declined Leo\u2019s and the guys\u2018 invitation to the bar. I stayed in the third row of the freeze- drying storage. Go check it out.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf everything looks good, we can move on to the next step.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise headed to the freeze\u2013drying storage. She opened the door and walked in.<\/p>\n
She stopped when she reached the third row, as Crow had mentioned.<\/p>\n
Inside a white glass bottle, there was a wriggling cursed worm. This one was noticeably more active than the one she\u2019d seen before.<\/p>\n
This was the one that had absorbed Morris\u2019s serum that day.<\/p>\n
In the past few days, Crow had been feeding it well according to Carson\u2019s instructions. It was indeed getting stronger and more agile.<\/p>\n
Cherise picked up the bottle and brought it to the workstation.<\/p>\n
Seeing this, Crow set down his coffee and quickly brought her an alcohol lamp, a small bottle of alcohol, and an unlabeled bottle of clear liquid.<\/p>\n
Cherise put on her safety goggles, lit the alcohol lamp, and removed the glass lid of the bottle containing the worm.<\/p>\n

ually picked up a dropper, sucked up several drops of clear liquid, and dripped it in. She then used tweezers to pick up a small wad of cotton soaked in alcohol, lit it via the alcohol lanp, and slowly placed it above the worm.<\/p>\n
A few seconds later, the worm was surrounded by visible flames struggling frantically.<\/p>\n
In just a few more seconds, the once\u2013active worm was completely incinerated, turning to ash and disappearing.<\/p>\n
Cherise carefully observed it, took off her goggles, clapped her hands, and said to Crow next to her, \u201cOkay, all done. As usual, you handle it from here.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m heading home now. See you later.\u201d<\/p>\n
After leaving Betrico Hospital, Rita didn\u2019t go back to her suburban villa but instead went to the Hawkins residence.<\/p>\n
Without Yulia by her side, she didn\u2019t seem particularly lonely.<\/p>\n
She remained elegant and poised, with an air of aristocratic pride.<\/p>\n
Gina still hadn\u2019t come home at this hour, as she seemed to have gotten used to spending money and having fun elsewhere.<\/p>\n
Today, when Rita returned, surprisingly she didn\u2019t shut herself in the study but sat in the living room looking out the door.<\/p>\n
As it was getting late, all the servants had gone to rest, leaving her quietly sitting alone, gazing outside.<\/p>\n
It was as if she was deliberately waiting for Gina to come back.<\/p>\n
She waited until Gina returned home, somewhat inebriated, at around midnight.<\/p>\n
Gina strolled leisurely toward the living room after the doorman informed her that Rita was there.<\/p>\n
\u201cRita, I heard you haven\u2019t gone to bed yet. Were you waiting for me?\u201d Gina asked in a sharp, unique voice even before she arrived.<\/p>\n
Rita heard the voice, lifted her head to look over, and gently said \u201cYou\u2019re back.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, I\u2019m home,\u201d Gina answered as she walked into the living room.<\/p>\n
However, as she slowly approached Rita in the living room, she suddenly screamed, \u201cOh! Help!\u201d<\/p>\n
