"How do I operate this messy thing?" As Rory attempted to separate the wires, she sighed in frustration. She immediately got out of the chair when she noticed a box close to the closed window. Rory popped the box open and started digging around inside. At the very least, there ought to be something that could direct her as to what to do or where those wires would go.When she spotted the pamphlet sandwiched between other wrappers and wires, she picked it up and began to turn the pages. However, as she did so, her eyes flicked back to the box when she thought she saw something. "A glue?" Rory took it in her hands and looked at it carefully. "What is the glue supposed to be used for?" When she opened the manual again, she discovered some instructions regarding the wires that were on the chair. They were called electrodes, and now she understands the purpose of the glue. It served as a means of securing those tiny sensors to the scaps. Before returning to her chair, Rory stuffed the
"Hey Rookie! My office now!" Emily remarked as soon as Mason entered through the door. She had noticed that he had seen her, but he continued to walk with his eyes fixed ahead, as if he hadn't noticed her waiting outside the hospital entrance as he entered.Mason suddenly came to a stop in his tracks and turned to face Emily. What had he done to make her call him into her office? Was it about last night? Emily walked by him, jiggling her ponytail behind her as she moved. From the clothes she was wearing, Mason had also deduced that she had just arrived at the hospital. He trailed behind her.She picked up her coat from where it had been hung as soon as she walked into the office, put it on, and went straight to her desk. After taking a seat, Emily raised her head to look at Mason, who was standing by the closed door. His hands were both behind his back. "I won't bite you, rookie." She motioned for him to approach, telling him to get closer.Exhaling, Mason moved toward her desk. He wa
"I find it hard to believe the doctor bought that." As they were returning to his room, Eren said. He had admitted to himself that Rory wasn't a particularly intelligent person. "He trusted my words because I am a wise person," In his face, she was robbing her winnings. She opened the door to his bedroom and entered with him, her chin held high. Rory assisted Eren in settling down as they walked up to his bed. "Young master." "Hmm. What more have you got to say, Rory Anne Spears?" "I came up with a scheme to get you into the park without Mr. Lewis knowing about it." As she spoke, Eren felt a sudden pique of curiosity. "You did?" asked Eren. "What is your plan?" He added. He had hoped she wouldn't respond this time with YouTube. "Well." Rory's hands were tightly clasped. "It won't be easy, but for us to accomplish that, you will need to make some changes to the mansion rules." "Let me hazard a guess—you got the idea for this plan from YouTube?" Rory rolled her eyes. "No phones,
Rory had determined that the best way to prevent Mr. Lewis from suspecting them was to keep entering the scanning room to check on the result before figuring out how to drop it in the mail without being seen by any of the maids. Dinner last night almost went horribly wrong, and Mr. Lewis might have suspected something was wrong if Eren hadn't intervened. She had also been about to fall the previous night when Eren saved her. And for the first time ever, his request had made her melt after his bath. "Could you please help me dry my hair?" He hated it when she touched his hair, but yesterday he wanted her to do it. At that precise moment, Rory had imagined the most romantic scenarios that take place in movies between couples when they dry each other's hair with towels after a bath. "Sure." She grabbed the towel, dried him off, and helped him with applying oil to massage his scalp when he complained of headaches. To her, it was merely retaliation for the way he had prevented her from
"I know what is going on here, Rory Anne. You are in love with him and you don't even realize that. Or maybe you did and you are ignoring your feelings." Rory turned her head away from Caroline. Surely her friend wasn't telling the truth, was she? Was she really in love with Eren Cyrus? What really is love? She had a painful relationship with Charlie, but when he lied to her and tried to manipulate her once more, and they ended their toxic love story, she felt better. She felt relieved. It didn't hurt in the same way that it does now. Her heart ached each time she saw Eren or thought of him. It had felt as though a sharp pin was pulling at it—as if her heart were elastic and would stretch if they drew on it. That wasn't the point, though. Her heart wasn't at all elastic. Does that imply that she was in love after all? a different emotion than the one she experienced with Charlie? "You don't need to say anything." Rory was forced to look in Caroline's direction. Rory couldn't look
"Please don't hurt us!" A woman screamed at the top of her lungs. "Please don't kill us; we'll give you anything you want."A huge man laughed hysterically. He had his face hidden behind a mask and hat and his hands were covered with gloves. "Bye bye." As he set his gun and aimed it towards the family, he continued to laugh.When he pulled the trigger, the bullet ripped through the woman's neck, leaving a large hole that soon filled with blood and it gushed out. As she collapsed to the ground, a pool of blood formed around her, soaking into her clothing, and she choked to death.In the dimly illuminated room, Eren Cyrus awoke panting loudly. His entire body was drenched with sweat. Except for the ticking of his alarm clock, the mansion was quiet. With his hand, he located it and switched it off. Eren wanted to stay beneath the covers after his nightmare, but he was afraid that going back to sleep would trigger another bad dream.He took his walking stick and entered the bathroom caref
Half a mile back, Rory Anne Spears gripped the wheel of her car and leaned back. She inhaled deeply before waiting for her heart to travel down her throat.They couldn't possibly fire her. She only missed one day because she got drunk and came in late, and it was entirely Charlie's fault. She would have been alright if he hadn't come back into her life just to break them again. She let out a sigh. How could they miss the fact that she had made quite an impact in the shop?"Curse you, Charlie!" She screamed out. This would be the second time this month that she would be fired from her job. The first time, she fell asleep and came to work late because of her other job while working an all-night shift. She rested her head on the driving wheel, trying to relax. She let go of the brake and pressed down on the gas pedal until the car was all the way into the narrow road. She was on her way back home after being fired from the job she had worked so hard on getting and suddenly it was all gon
"Caro, it's been two months and not two years." Caro drew Rory in for an embrace after she replied.She handed the medicine to her father and then clasped Rory's hand in hers. "Come with me." Rory was taken to Caro's room.When Rory stepped into the room, the first thing she located was a chair to sit on. She sighed and Caro decided to walk to her.How would she start the story about what had happened to her in the past two months? How she'd met Charlie in the large city and fallen back into his words just to be abandoned later? or how it's not simple to obtain work if you're uneducated?When Caro noticed Rory's mind had wandered off, she cleared her throat loudly and spoke. "If the bigger city was so amazing, why did you come back?" She moved closer to Rory and sat next to her.Rory sighed, unsure of what to say. She boasted to a friend two months ago that she would not return to Section C, and that the next time she did, she would only come to take her family away from there. But i
