Chapter 795: Chapter 826: The Sudden Outbreak of Fire
How ironic!
She used her medical knowledge, which should have been used to save lives, to kill someone!
She clearly remembered the sound when the scalpel sliced through muscle, the sound that took away a person’s life.
Tears welled up in her eyes, not because of Xavier Young’s death—she had no feelings for him.
Their only connection was that she had used him years ago.
The guilt from that had dissipated since Xavier almost killed Adrian Desmond.
Xavier Young’s death was not innocent either; Adrian was nearly shot dead by him, Rosie Cooper was killed by him, Yara Moreau indirectly killed because of him... and many families destroyed by the drugs he supplied.
So many lives—enough to send Xavier Young to hell.
She cried because... she too had been drawn into this terrifying world, straying further from her original life path;
She cried because... her hands were also stained with blood.
After crying for half an hour, the resilient Sienna Johnson gradually calmed down.
By now, the night was very dark, and everything outside was quiet—so quiet it made one’s heart uneasy.
In another hour, the guards would change shifts. It was Wednesday today, and the night shift was a middle-aged man with a drug addiction who liked to smoke a joint of marijuana before starting his shift, which took about five minutes.
This was information Sienna Johnson gathered from long-term observation.
Sienna had to use these five minutes to run to the dog kennel near the gate.
The kennel used to house an American Staffordshire Terrier, very fierce; Sienna passed by it every day while attending to patients. Once, the dog almost broke free from its chain and bit her; Xavier later dealt with the dog, leaving the kennel unused.
Sienna had to enter the kennel during the "five-minute" surveillance blind spot, wait for dawn, and sneak out to find Lucas Robertson.
Originally, she could wait until dawn, pretend to attend a clinic session, and leave, but Sulla would cling to her...
Sulla was an unpredictable factor; Sienna was not willing to take the risk.
Sienna checked her watch; there were 45 minutes left. She got up, changed out of her tattered clothes, and put on a new set of lightweight, black overalls and a black shirt, allowing her to blend into the night easily.
Half an hour later, when Sienna came back out, Xavier’s body had already stiffened.
Sienna picked up the scalpel from the ground, cleaned it, placed it in a leather sheath, and tucked it into her pocket, then sat on a chair, repeatedly rehearsing every step that would follow.
When she should leave, which places to go, which places to avoid... Sienna ran through the plan several times in her mind, and it was almost time.
Ding ding... The alarm went off abruptly, interrupting Sienna’s thoughts.
"God, please bless me!"
Sienna took a deep breath, dared not to delay a single moment, opened the door, glanced at the empty hallway, and quietly walked out.
Before leaving, she locked the room with a key...
Everyone knew that last night, Xavier was in her room, and if the two of them got up late the next day, no one would suspect anything.
The later Xavier’s body was discovered, the more time Sienna had to escape.
Sienna ventured out carefully; since it was early morning, most people were asleep, so she didn’t run into anyone.
Sienna walked outside and indeed saw the marijuana-loving man smoking.
Only today, he wasn’t alone; there was another man.
"Why do you look unwell lately, sick?"
"My woman pesters me every night, wants to sleep with me."
"Your woman has a big ***, clearly greedy in that way; be careful or she’ll drain you dry."
"Get lost! I’ll wear her out!"
"Haha..."
After chatting about crude jokes for a while, the men finally parted. The middle-aged man finished smoking and headed towards the Observation Deck. Sienna seized this opportunity, jogged across the lawn, and headed straight for the fountain.
Suddenly, a black cat jumped out and landed in front of Sienna, hissing at her with claws out, almost scaring the already guilty Sienna out of her wits.
Sienna covered her mouth, managing not to scream.
Two minutes left, Sienna couldn’t care about anything else and ran quickly towards the kennel. Just as she slipped inside, she heard flirting between a man and a woman...
