Chapter 964: The only one who can hurt
is myself
It was a kind of wailing that was tragically desolate.
Lake and the others outside were all startled upon hearing it.
Lake signaled with his eyes for the rest to stand guard outside and said in Spanish, "Don’t let anyone in."
After that, he rushed into the sickroom.
"Miss Xiao!"
The scene before his eyes left him astonished.
The white bed sheets had been dyed red with fresh blood.
Xiao Man stood beside the bed, still holding a blood-stained fruit knife, with a ss of things scattered all over the floor.
"Miss Xiao! Put the knife down first!"
Having followed her for so many years, Lake had never seen her so terrifying.
He could handle threats from the outside, but the harm she inflicted on herself was the most difficult to deal with, especially now that Mr. Li was not here. If he ca back and found Miss Xiao...
The consequences were unimaginable.
Blood was continuously flowing from Xiao Man’s thigh, as if she had created a hole in her body.
She was trembling all over, tears constantly streaming down her face: "Lake... I’m going to turn into a monster... I can feel it..."
"Miss Xiao, let’s talk calmly, don’t be impulsive, I will get you whatever you want. Ice, drugs, right? Just one more hit is okay, we will figure out a proper solution when Mr. Li returns."
Lake’s strategy was to pacify her first and wait for Li Sinian to co back.
"Don’t give it to !" Xiao Man yelled, "Get out... get out!"
Having experienced it once, she feared even more to beco that version of herself again, she didn’t want it.
She had enough restraint to control herself, but the toxicity of this new product was completely different from the past. She could feel an agitated molecule moving within her body, that force made her frantic and restless, even leading her to harm herself.
All of this was beyond her control.
Was this the scene Luo Xuan wanted to see?
He wanted her to beg him, to submit to him, but Xiao Man’s choice was rather to shatter than to remain whole but flawed.
"Miss Xiao—" Lake couldn’t just leave easily.
"Get out!" Xiao Man raised her voice, "If I want to destroy myself, you can’t stop !"
As Lake stepped out, he received an international call.
"What did you say?"
Five minutes later, he entered again.
Xiao Man seed to have cald down, sitting blankly on the floor.
"Miss Xiao... we’ve received orders to return to xico, would you like to co with us?"
Xiao Man’s vacant eyes were staring ahead.
She seed to be falling apart ntally, but she could still hear his voice and replied: "Is it an order for you to return, or an order for you to take
back?"
Lake paused for a mont and answered: "It’s for us to return."
"Then go back..." Xiao Man’s voice had beco hoarse from the earlier screaming, speaking weakly.
"But Miss Xiao—"
The sudden order for them to return was too odd, and he was uncertain whether leaving Xiao Man in Xicheng was the right thing to do, so he hesitated.
"Go back, the orders didn’t require you to take
back, did they? That ans without , you don’t need to care about
anymore, just go, no one’s going to hurt ... the only one who can hurt
is myself..."
"Miss Xiao, don’t you want to ask who gave the orders?"
She shook her head: "It doesn’t matter, just go."
"Then... take care, Miss Xiao, we will leave tonight."
"Okay, goodbye."
...
When Gu Liancheng saw Xiao Man again, he was also taken aback.
