CHAPTER 102: CHAPTER 102: NO SLEEPING ALLOWED

Lena Lynch and Mia Redgrave walked out of the teaching building, their eyes full of disbelief.

"She... is going to die?"

Mia’s eyes widened. This bastard could survive in the forbidden zone for three years and still come out as lively as a dragon, and now she’s drinking poison herself?

Is she going to die just like that?

"This poison is very potent. Her entire skeleton will be corroded, and then her internal organs. She will definitely die within an hour," Lena said.

She originally just wanted to scare Seraphina, but she didn’t expect Seraphina to swallow the poison directly.

"Mommy." Mia regained her usual arrogance and acted coyly towards Lena: "You’re amazing. Normally you’re so gentle, yet you dealt with Seraphina so easily."

Seraphina was formidable enough to reach the heavens, but she still voluntarily surrendered to death under Lena’s persuasion.

Both she and Dad had no way to make Seraphina surrender.

Seraphina was right that her mom was the most formidable one.

"I already told you and your dad before, don’t make things so absolute, leave yourself a way out, or things can easily go wrong, but you never listen."

After saying this, Lena took a deep breath, her eyes unexpectedly filled with tears: "She grew up in the Redgrave Family. If it weren’t for her wanting to bring your dad down, I wouldn’t have treated her like this. I just didn’t expect she’d rather die than take responsibility and save Jonathan."

It was boundless hatred.

"It’s okay, Daddy already said, even if we can’t make Seraphina confess, as long as we kill her, we can survive."

Mia had no doubt about Jonathan’s words.

"Let’s hope so..."

Lena sighed, hoping that Seraphina’s death really could take Redgrave Family’s misfortunes away.

As they spoke, more than a dozen well-trained bodyguards ran in their direction, as if searching for someone.

Lena instinctively pulled Mia to hide in the corner of the wall, secretly observing.

Pain.

So much pain.

Seraphina could no longer see, her sight completely black, only feeling pain without knowing exactly where it hurt.

She was losing the strength to even breathe.

"Poof!"

She spit out another mouthful of blood, and it seemed she heard unfamiliar voices: "Miss Redgrave! We are Young Master Sterling’s bodyguards, where exactly are you?"

Young Master Sterling.

Ethan Sterling.

Was he here to save her, or to kill her?

Forget it, she had no choice.

Seraphina wiped the blood from the corner of her lips, stood up again, and slowly walked toward the direction of the voices.

She groped in the dark, moving forward bit by bit, trying to let Ethan’s people see her.

But why couldn’t they find her when she could already hear their voices?

"Here..."

She could no longer make a normal sound. All that came out was breathy whispers, unable to be heard by others.

The voices... disappeared...

It seemed they didn’t see her.

Her life seemed unsalvageable now.

She was really going to die.

And her mind began to replay her life’s memories.

It was the incidents from the past eighteen years.

Being insulted with her chin lifted by Mia’s shoe, being kicked to the ground by Jonathan unable to move, and her own dark and shabby little bedroom.

These scenes flashed swiftly before her eyes yet remained vividly clear.

She always followed Mia, thinking that Mia would accept her as family.

She did everything to please Lena, believing that only Lena genuinely liked her in the Redgrave Family.

But that affection, all the kindness, in the end, became leverage to force her into submission.

Naive.

She was just too naive.

Lena was right; she was never accepted. The Redgrave Family disliked her, classmates rejected her, even her biological parents didn’t want her.

Did she still have any reason to live?

Now that she’d gotten what she wanted, she wasn’t particularly happy about it.

Where should she go afterward? South? Or back to the forbidden zone?

Rebuild the forbidden zone.

How amusing. Even if she succeeded, she was still a useless piece of trash without family or friends.

She had always been alone.

There would never be anyone to protect her.

In that moment, Seraphina completely lost the will to survive, her memories gradually fading, and she could no longer hold onto her last breath.

Let it end here.

Let it end here.

She no longer wanted to hold on, so she slowly collapsed down.

"Seraphina!"

She heard an urgent shout belonging to a man.

Yes, that’s right, urgent.

Her whole body was weak. She slowly raised her head, looking at a world now twisted, dizzy to the point of nausea, yet she didn’t even have the strength to retch.

In such a world, someone slowly approached her, gradually emerging in the darkness, tall and imposing, giving a sense of safety. And then? Seraphina tried hard to look, but the man’s figure remained blurry.

Who was it?

Seraphina squinted at the person coming, eager to see this person clearly.

She stumbled towards the person, finally falling into the firm arms of the man trying to support her.

As she looked up, she finally saw a pair of beautiful amber eyes, filled with urgency, which instantly put Seraphina at ease.

Seraphina finally completely relaxed, as if she lay in the man’s arms, while a deep, anxious voice echoed in her ears.

"Seraphina! I forbid you to die!"

"You could survive the forbidden zone for three years, but can’t hold on now that you’re out? If you dare die, I’ll give you something to remember!"

Seraphina couldn’t help but smile slightly. If she were really dead now, what could he possibly do to her?

Break the legs of her corpse?

So sleepy...

Following her own wishes, Seraphina slowly closed her eyes.

"Keep your eyes open!"

So annoying.

She tried hard to open her eyes, seeing the man’s beautifully shaped jaw, and softly asked, "Ethan?"

The doctor was already in position.

Ethan glanced down at Seraphina: "Hmm."

The man continued: "Seraphina, don’t sleep yet. As long as you stay awake, I will ensure you survive. If you die, I’ll let everyone in the forbidden zone die with you."

Despicable.

She didn’t care about those people, it wasn’t her business.

Although she thought so, she still tried to keep herself awake, though she felt like vomiting all her innards out, she refused to close her eyes.

Seeing this scene, Ethan let out a sigh of relief: "Yes! Stay awake like this!"

Seraphina leaned against Ethan’s chest, slowly taking deep breaths, even though each breath felt like being torn apart.

Her entire body seemed covered in wounds, with more appearing, yet she couldn’t die and stayed conscious, watching herself turn into a mess.

Holding Seraphina, Ethan walked decisively to the ambulance, his face icy cold.
