She was eager to witness the battlefield.


    "You''re right! If they end up fighting each other, that would be perfect."


    That way, he wouldn''t have to get his hands dirty.


    The nurse nodded. "Just wait. The opportunity wille. They''ll definitely fight over your friend. You don''t need to worry too much. You''re smart, so I''m sure she''ll have her own ns."


    "Exactly." Yerick''s smile grew more radiant.


    However, for him, opportunities were never something one simply waited for-they were things he created with his own hands. If he wanted it, it would happen.


    "Are you feeling better?" the nurse asked.


    Yerick nodded. "Much better."


    The nurse sighed in relief. "That''s good."


    Yerick''s lips curled into a barely perceptible, sinister smile. "Let''s keep our conversation today between us."


    The nurse patted her chest reassuringly. "Don''t worry! I won''t tell anyone."


    "Good, I trust you. But I really don''t like being lied to. If you do tell someone, then I''ll..." Yerick paused, as if contemting what he might do. "You''ll what?" the nurse asked, curious.


    Yerick''s smile turned dark. "I''ll kill you and scatter your ashes."


    An icy chill swept over the nurse. She shivered, feeling as if she had been doused in ice-cold water, the cold seeping into her very soul.


    Seeing her stunned reaction, Yerick suddenlyughed. "Haha, did I scare you?"


    The nurse came to her senses when she saw his grin, and managed a shaky smile. "So, you were just joking. You really frightened me!" Moments ago, she had been terrified out of her wits.


    Yerick continued to smile. "That was not a joke. I''m serious."


    The nurse''s smile vanished instantly.


    Yerick''s gaze was intense and unyielding as he enunciated, "So watch out."


    The room fell silent as they stared at each other. After a long pause, the nurse felt a strong urge to escape, sensing that Yerick was much more than he appeared.


    "Haha." Yerick chuckled with a childlike demeanor while pointing at her. "Gotcha! Looks like my acting is pretty good—maybe I should y a viin."


    The nurse''s emotions were tossed about like a rollercoaster.


    "You talk as if it were real. You really would make a great viin; you even have the good looks for it! Why not just be an actor?"


    "Anyone can be an actor-even idiots and monkeys. But what I want to do isn''t something just anyone can aplish."


    Yerick''s expression turned serious as he fixed his gaze on her.


    The nurse was momentarily stunned but, after a moment''s reflection, realized he was likely performing again, and sheughed. "True, you do seem clever. You''re destined to contribute to human progress.

    "Yes, I''ll make significant contributions," Yerick said deliberately, word by word.


    A week had passed in the blink of an


    eye. During this time, Rosalie had experienced a peaceful week in the hospital, frequently visiting Yerick and chatting with him.


    But most of her time was spent with Sebastian.


    She hadn''t seen Theodoretely. He seemed to have disappeared from the hospital. She didn''t ask about him; they were akin to the closest of strangers now.N?velDrama.Org owns all content.


    Rosalie felt something was off, but


    on reflection everything seemed


    normal. It was probably for the best-avoiding random encounters and unnecessaryplications was better than dealing with bizarre, meaningless entanglements.
