In the entire enclosed room, only the photos of Edward Stephens and his voice surrounded her, making her feel scared whenever she saw his photos or heard his voice! Check latest chapters at 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵✦𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✦𝙣𝙚𝙩
Humans are such animals that instinctively seek advantage and avoid harm. Even when her brain hadn’t reacted yet, her instincts had already begun rejecting everything about Edward Stephens.
She feared the pain, feared the flutter he brought to her heart, a torment that could drive a normal person insane.
Daisy Ginger gritted her teeth, looking at the seemingly righteous man not far away. He lowered his eyes and looked at her, as elegant and refined as ever, gentle and polite.
"What did you do to Emily Ginger?"
Ian Linton chuckled, "I don’t know what you’re talking about."
"You said you had someone tested," Daisy glared at him, "was that person Emily Ginger?"
"I admire that you can still think in this situation." Ian Linton smiled, placing a water cup on the bedside table, and slowly sat down at the bed’s edge. His posture was graceful, his tone nonchalant, "You’re not wrong in guessing. I experimented on Emily Ginger first. Otherwise, how would I dare try it on you?"
So it was true, indeed it was true...
Daisy’s lips trembled slightly. She recalled that rainy night, Emily Ginger stood soaking in despair at her door, asking Edward Stephens for help. Surely, that was her last attempt to muster up courage to resist Ian Linton, but she was brutally turned away...
"Why?" Tears unknowingly streamed from her eyes as she hoarsely questioned, "Hurting me alone is enough, why hurt others too?! What did she do wrong to you that you have to drive her insane?!"
Ian Linton’s expression remained indifferent, "She knew well that you liked Edward Stephens, yet insisted on competing with you. Isn’t that her fault? I told you, anyone who harms you, I’ll take care of them for you. If anything, she was lucky to be of some use to you in the end."
This person, always claiming to love her, yet repeatedly finding ways to hurt her the most.
If it weren’t for his interference, Emily Ginger wouldn’t have gone mad, and her conflict with Edward Stephens wouldn’t have been so severe. Having done such terrible things, he still considers this "love" to this day.
"Madman." She murmured, "Ian Linton, you’re truly insane."
Merely because Emily Ginger had competed with her for Edward Stephens, he wanted to ruin her life.
Even when she developed schizophrenia because of him, he wore a look of self-inflicted consequences.
The one who should be locked in a mental institution for life, never to be released, is this man in front of her.
He’s the one who truly belongs in a mental institution!
"She carries your child," Daisy whispered, "Ian Linton, how can you bear it?"
"Without giving her a taste of sweetness, how would she peacefully accompany me in the experiment?" He let out a low laugh, lifting his head to look at Daisy’s dejected state, "To talk about this matter is quite interesting. Although electricity doesn’t leave a mark on the human body, if she had just chosen to break the engagement with me, there wouldn’t be anything I could do. Unfortunately, your stepmother didn’t want that..."
He spoke with a hint of mockery, commenting on Emily Ginger’s situation, and said to Daisy faintly, "Before she came to you, she had sought out Abigail Perry several times, hadn’t she? Unfortunately, Abigail Perry couldn’t bear to let her break the engagement with me." He propped his face with one hand, looking at Daisy, his smile gentle like a spring breeze, "I heard that Abigail Perry now stays by her side in the hospital and can’t bring herself to leave, yet Emily Ginger doesn’t even want her to come close. Tell me, haven’t those two women both received their comeuppance now?"
