Magnolia Psychiatric Hospital.fn35ed Latest content published on findnovel/fn35ed

Aline thrashed and screamed, pinned to the bed by a group of orderlies as the electric shock hit her. The chains bit so deep into her wrists and ankles that her skin broke and bled. Soon, her cries faded and she lost consciousness.

The staff nced at her limp body with a look of unmasked disgust.

"Finally, some peace and quiet."

"Honestly, this woman is a fool. If she managed to escape from a hellhole like Mirage Cay, she should''ve just kept her head down and lived quietly. But no, she had to go and mess with the royal family. Did she really think she was good enough for them? She pissed off the wife, and here she is, locked in the psych ward."

Not long ago, after Citrine led a raid on Mirage Cay and took down the whole operation, Aline seized her chance and escaped.

But freedom didn''t bring her a better life. She scraped by for over a month, penniless and desperate. Just as she was about to give up, she crossed paths with a wealthy man-he mistook her for a beggar and handed her a wad of cash. That moment sparked an idea.

For days, Aline schemed to get closer to him. Shended a job as a hotel maid, and with ess to his room, she drugged his drink and slipped into his bed.

She thought she''d hit the jackpot, convinced she was about to marry into luxury. But the man turned out to be not just rich, but royal-and married on top of that.

Afterward, the man wanted nothing to do with her, openly expressing his disgust. His wife, furious, used her influence to have Alinemitted to the psychiatric hospital.

Citrine knew all about the whereabouts of Aline and her daughter, Jete.

A monthter, Jete died of exhaustion in Africa. When Citrine learned of it, she immediately had the news delivered to Aline.

Aline had clung to the hope that her daughter would someday rescue her from that wretched ce. With Jete gone, herst flicker of hope was extinguished.

Unable to ept the truth, Aline finally lost her mind for real.

Back home, Citrine listened to the report, her expression nk. She had always thought she''d feel a sense of satisfaction when that mother and daughter met theifend, but now all she felt was an unexpected calm.  s

Their fate didn''t stir any emotion in her at all.

Meanwhile, her assistant brought more news Kali Glenwood had met with disaster. After the Glenwood family went bankrupt, every person who''d been pressured openly on secretly into donating blood for Kali came back for revenge. Among them were elderly parents who had lost their own children because they''d been forced to give blood to Kali.  s

Their resentment ran deep. After staking out Kali''s apartment for days, they finally got their chance: someone threw acid in her face. Kali was left permanently disfigured.

Citrine''s face remained impassive.

The hatred that had burned so fiercely in her past life seemed to have faded, soothed by the love she''d found in this one.

Now, she had parents and family who loved her, and Sebastian, the man she cared for. Everything in her life was moving steadily toward something good.

When happiness settles in, old wounds be easy to forget-and Citrine was no exception.

Sebastian watched her from the side, his heart aching with tenderness and

concern.

They''d known each other a long time

now, and after bing a couple, he''de to understand at least some of her history—her deep

resentment toward the Iversons, the Glenwoods, the Aldridges and the Coopers.

s

He didn''t know the whole story, but he always supported her choices, never asking questions, not wanting to drag her back into painful memories.

He''d wait until the day she was ready to share it all. When that day came, he''d listen quietly, holding her close, kissing away every scar.
