Lucy was disheveled on the ground. I stared down at her blankly and smiled cruelly. “That woman outside is quite loyal to you. Tell me. Who do you love more between her and Kyle?”
It seemed that my words struck a nerve, seeing as how her face turned red from anger. She shouted at me, “Shut up! You don’t deserve to mention Kyle’s name!”
Ignoring her shouting, I turned on the shower and started spraying cold water over her.
Because she was wearing very thin garments, she screamed as the cold seeped through her skin. “Sylvia! Are you crazy? How dare you?”
With a straight face, I raised the shower head and said, “I’m no longer that weak slave Sylvia. I’m Crystal now. Since you dare to hurt me, I’ll make you pay double.”
Lucy huddled up and choked on the cold water.
I scowled and tossed aside the shower head. Then I started running water in the tub. Soon it was filled with water.
I pulled Lucy’s hair and said fiercely, “Do you really think I don’t dare to kill you?”
Lucy trembled with tears and snot. “Forgive me, please forgive me… Don’t… Don’t kill me…”
“Well, I won’t kill you if you tell me where my son is.”
Lucy fell silent again.
As my patience had completely worn thin, I slammed her head down into the water.
Crystal’s POV
Lucy choked on the water. She coughed and hacked as she struggled.
When she was about to suffocate, I grabbed her hair and yanked her out of the water. “You’re still not gonna tell me where my son is?”
Lucy coughed several times. Her eyes were half-closed, and her hair was dripping and clinging to her cheeks. But even the feeling of death did not soften Lucy at all. She still refused to tell me where my son was. “I don’t know what you are talking about. If you want to kill me, just do it.”
Furious, I said coldly, “Aren’t you afraid of death?”
Lucy shrieked with laughter, and her body trembled violently. Then she opened her eyes wide and tried to glare at me. She looked like a beast captured by its prey. Even if she was about to die, she just wouldn’t give in.
It was absurd. After so many years, Lucy still hadn’t changed a bit. She would still deny her crimes even if all the evidence were laid out before her.
Lucy grabbed my hand and shook it twice. She clenched her teeth and snarled, “If you want to kill me, go ahead and do it. Stop threatening me. You’re just wasting your time here because I don’t know where your son is.”
“You!” I grabbed her collar tightly as blood rushed to my fingers. “Don’t push me to my limit!”
Lucy scoffed derisively, as if she thought I wouldn’t dare to make a move. Her arrogance and cynicism shone through her gaze.
Meanwhile, the she-wolf had stopped pounding on the door. I had no idea if she had gone to get help or had simply given up. Now, only the sound of water and our confrontation could be heard in the bathroom.
“Sylvia.”
Lucy broke the silence again. She suddenly thought of something and said, “No, I should call you Crystal. Do you really believe that killing me will help you in any way? You should go look for your son instead of venting your anger on me.”
“Are you still going to play dumb? You kidnapped my son. Only you have lived in that room, and only you know the secret passage!” I couldn’t help but shout and shove Lucy under the water again.
Lucy struggled frantically, flapping her arms in the water. Most of the water in the bathtub spilled, causing my clothes to get wet as well.
At the thought that my son might be in danger, I couldn’t keep calm anymore.
I pushed Lucy into the water and pulled her out, again and again.
Lucy quickly ran out of strength and couldn’t struggle anymore, but she still kept her mouth shut. She was coughing and laughing with a smug expression as she lay on the ground next to me.
“Poor you. You can’t find your son even if you kill me. I guess you’ll live in the pain of losing your son all your life. You deserve it!”
I gave a chilly chuckle, grabbed her by the collar, and threw her back into the water. Then, as I was about to shove her into the water one more time, I uttered, “Lucy, don’t you understand? If my son is gone, do you really think your son will be safe?”
Upon hearing my words, Lucy’s face darkened. “What do you mean? If you dare to hurt Firman, I’ll kill you!”
With a snort, I hurled her into the water. “Do you think you can kill me?”
Lucy choked on the water, and her face turned red. Even so, she still shouted, “Kill me if you have guts! You can’t find your son, so you accuse me of kidnapping him. You are just being ridiculous! Maybe your son is already dead!”
I was so angry that I pushed her harder, causing her to sink deeper into the water. This time, I didn’t bother to count how many seconds had passed. The image of my son pleading for mercy came to me immediately.
Soon, there was nothing but a little, lifeless body.
A deafening silence filled the bathroom. It was as if I had stepped into a black hole, and what I saw before me was completely out of the ordinary. Then, Yana’s voice pierced through the illusion.
“Crystal, wake up! It’s time to pull Lucy out of the water.”
I blinked my eyes and came back to my senses. I could hear Lucy struggling again.
However, I just had no intention of pulling her out. I stood indifferently as Lucy grew increasingly tired and was close to collapsing.
Crystal’s POV
Half of Lucy’s body lay in the bathtub. She moved faintly and was about to die.
As I observed the situation numbly, I inwardly screamed that I would kill her. Just then, a vision of my son’s cold body flashed in front of my eyes again.
Title of the document I couldn’t help shuddering violently. My teeth chattered and I almost went insane.
At this moment, the bathroom door was kicked open. Someone grabbed me around my middle and pulled me away. The person then pull Lucy out of the water and she fell to the ground as she gasped for breath.
I mechanically turned my head and saw that it was Rufus. He was watching me anxiously. He was saying something, but I couldn’t make out the words.
My ears were buzzing, and the sound was getting increasingly louder. Like a bomb, the noise suddenly exploded.
The buzzing sound gradually cleared after that, and I heard Rufus speaking close to my ear. “Crystal, wake up!” He rubbed my arms worriedly, as if trying to warm me up.
