Chapter 8

Penulis: Bowl of Rice
Heavy, rushed footsteps echoed from outside the courtyard. Two fierce-looking matrons barged straight into the small yard. They knew exactly what they were there for. They moved straight toward Vanessa, grabbed her arms, and began dragging her away.

Vanessa was taken aback at first, but like a drowning man clutching at straws, she roared at the two women.

“Hey! What are you two doing here? Aren’t you the ones I hired back then to teach that bitch Eva a lesson? Who are you to treat me like thi

    Hudson’s death, by contrast, was far quieter and far more unnerving. He died by his own hand. Dressed in a pristine surgical gown, Hudson performed an autopsy on himself. Scattered beside him were handwritten notes and sketched diagrams. The handwriting was as neat and clear as always, but the contents were so outlandish that they would make anyone’s blood run cold.Over and over again, he had calculated formulas on the pages. “The theoretical possibility of autologous blood recovery and reperfusion following an extremely prolonged cardiac arrest.”There was also a line of text written with such fierce force that the pen had nearly ripped through the paper:“I can definitely bring her back to life. She wasn’t supposed to die.”The forensic pathologists and the police concluded that it was a paranoid suicide committed under extreme psychological stress. Hudson had turned himself into his very last experimental subject. He was trapped in the delusion that I was still alive, and he

    Vanessa’s screams were piercing.One of the matrons cursed under her breath, “Shut the hell up! You’re driving me crazy!”Before Vanessa could react, the matron whipped out a wad of filthy, foul-smelling rags and mercilessly shoved it straight into Vanessa’s wide-open, screaming mouth.“Mmph–”Vanessa’s voice was instantly cut off. The rancid stench of the rag shot straight up her nose, making her vision go dark as her stomach churned. However, the nightmare was far from over. After gagging her, the two matrons exchanged a look. Then, their fists and boots rained down upon Vanessa like a relentless storm.From that day forward, the person “Vanessa York” vanished from high society. In her place, in that old, isolated manor on the island, there was only a crazy, blind, and crippled woman whose sole purpose was to scrub the manor’s chamber pots and filthy toilets.No one really knew how she went blind. Perhaps she had accidentally struck the sharp corner of a table during her franti

What are you two doing here? Aren’t you the ones I hired back then to teach that bitch Eva a lesson? Who are you to treat me like this! Let go of me right now! Believe me when I say I’ll have my husband, Ethan Miller, skin you alive! And why the hell am I even in this awful place? Speak up! Is this your doing?”She cursed loudly, kicking and struggling with all her might, trying desperately to break free from their grip. However, the two women ignored her furious rants and accusations. Their dull eyes showed nothing but impatience. They tightened their grip even more and barked back harshly, “Shut up! Quit making such a ra

    Hudson lifted the white sheet, exposing a withered arm. On it, besides the crisscrossing scars from old self-harm, a multitude of fresh marks was glaringly visible. Those were scratch marks left by fingernails, a bright red-purple color, and most were still oozing blood.Ethan’s breath hitched as his chaotic mind raced backward through his memories. Those wounds… That day in the kitchen, he had seen my arm. Back then, although the old scars looked horrific, there were absolutely no scratches or pinch marks!Just as Ethan pondered on it, Hudson spoke up, “We compared the tissue residue found under Sonny’s fingernails with the skin fragments I extracted from the edges of these fresh wounds on Eva’s arm for a laboratory analysis. The DNA is a perfect match. These scratches and pinch marks were made by Sonny.”Ethan’s face turned deathly pale in an instant.Hudson continued to add, “After the incident with Eva, one of the doctors under my supervision grew terrified and came forward to

    “How could you suddenly just… die? You were perfectly fine just a moment ago! Huh? Speak to me! Open your eyes and look at me! I am your brother, Logan. Eva, please talk to me.”He shook my shoulders frantically. However, no matter how desperately he called out, the corpse lying on the floor offered no response. Only my hair swayed slightly with his movements, making my lifeless face look even more grim. He fell to his knees beside me, his shoulders shaking violently as he let out broken, sobbing whimpers.Meanwhile, Ethan stood quietly at the doorway. He had arrived a little later than Hudson and Logan, coming in just in time to hear Mr. Brown mention the need for an autopsy, alongside Logan’s panicked wails. Ethan’s feet stopped right at the door of the utility room, lingering at the edge of the darkness that reeked of blood.He did not take a step inside; not even one. It was as if, by refusing to enter, Ethan could maintain the illusion that I was still alive and pretend that we

    Ethan heard a deafening ringing echo in his ears, as if an explosion had gone off in his mind. Before he could even process what was happening, Logan had dashed forward. He slammed his shoulder violently against the wooden door of the utility room, forcing it open.The moment the door gave way, a thick stench of blood wafted out from the dimly lit room. Logan’s legs buckled, and he collapsed to his knees. His eyes widened in horror as he stared straight at the figure lying deep inside the utility room. It looked so small, lying in the center of a pool of blood, like a dead butterfly.“Eva…”A broken, breathless gasp escaped Logan’s throat. Stumbling and desperate, he crawled over on his hands and knees. By the time he got close, his palms were covered in my cold, sticky blood.Rushing in right behind Logan was Hudson. He didn’t even have time for grief. Charging straight toward my corpse in a daze, he fell to his knees into the pool of blood. With trembling hands, he ripped open th
