A flash of killing intent appeared in the depths of Grace's eyes, as if she wanted to immediately make Valentine disappear from this world. Ever since Desmond died, her heart had become more and more ruthless. For her future, she absolutely could not let anyone ruin it. Now that Grace was in this position, there were naturally some people who could help her get rid of the calamity, and in this world, there were also a lot of people who could earn money from the bloodshed.

“You weren’t listening. You were sluggish, slower today. You missed a block. And then you collapsed like a fucking rag doll.” His jaw clenched, his green eyes flashing with something raw. Guilt curled in my stomach. I had trained harder than usual today, but I had to. If I wanted to survive in this world, I had to be strong. I had to keep up. A doctor I didn’t notice was in the room cleared his throat, stepping closer. “How are you feeling Mrs. Valente?” I blushed red but didn’t bother correcting him and Alex looked secretly satisfied.
