On the screen, Katherine was stumbling back, her eyes wide with confusion. "What? Who are you talking to? What are you...." She stopped, her eyes following his gaze to the couch. She saw the tiny, blinking light of the bug. Her face went gray. "Oh god. They’re listening? They heard everything?" In our study, the victory turned to ash.

I stay silent. Calix stands beside the bed for a while. I can feel his eyes on me. Waiting. Hoping I’ll respond. But I don’t. Eventually I hear him sigh softly. Footsteps move toward the door. The door opens. Then closes again. The room falls silent once more. Time passes slowly. The light from the window shifts across the floor. At some point Calix comes back. I don’t move when he enters. But I hear him stop beside the table. There’s a pause.

CHAPTER 104 MATTEO THE SILENT THREAD The hospital room was quiet in a way that pressed against my chest, the kind of quiet that wasn’t empty but filled with all the things we hadn’t said, all the thoughts we couldn’t share. Machines hummed softly, marking the passage of time, but it felt slow, like the world had paused just for us. Santiago lay on the gurney, pale and fragile, eyes closed, barely moving. His breathing was shallow, almost fragile, but it was there, and I clung to it like a lifeline.

The dark barrel of the gun carried the faint scent of gun oil. The patients and their families in the hall screamed in terror and scrambled into the corners, clutching their heads. I remained seated in my leather armchair without so much as shifting position. My gaze passed over the muzzle and settled on the charred man lying on the stretcher. Samuel's chest barely rose and fell. Beside him, the heart monitor emitted a faint, steady beep. I slipped a Ghost Gate Needle from my sleeve.

He asked and as usual everyone laughed at his silly question "Silence" Mrs. Smith cautioned and silence once again took over but in my ear there were so much oozing, I took my earpiece dig it in my ear and start some music, I didn't hear anything until Mrs. Smith called on me and I quickly hide the earpiece. "Are you here?" She asked eyes narrowed at me in question. "Yes ma'am" I answered briskly. "What was the last thing I said?" She asked not believing me, knowing obviously she was thinking of what she said I stole the idea from her thoughts.

he replies. When I think about a Silent, I think about T. I’m not sure why, because he isn’t one. I think it’s the constant threat of him, of not being able to read him at all. Even though Silent’s aren’t meant to speak, he does so in such a specific way. It’s all smooth allure and careful teasing. It makes me wonder what his end game is.

a voice called, distant but familiar. I didn’t have the strength to respond. My eyes fluttered shut as the darkness took over. Finally, silence.

"Just be careful next time. Fight back when you have the chance." The two shared a small smile before Chester began nagging again about his patient’s leg. Kinsley express his gratitude but he wanted to be excused so he could head back to his quarters. Chester was still rambling about when someone opened the door to his room violently. "Skylar!"

"No! He doesn't know what he's saying! Philip, listen to me, I can explain—please, let me explain!" Philip looked like a demon straight out of hell. His voice was ice. "A wench? What did you two do to Grace?! You both deserve to die!" At that moment, his parents rushed in with the family doctor. Laila threw herself into their arms, crying out in fear, "Please help us! Philip's gone crazy!" The doctor quickly injected Philip with a sedative. He collapsed instantly. However, the effect only lasted two hours. Philip woke up, dazed.
