"You're all lying to me. All of you are lying to me. I don't believe it!" Harriet directly shook off Miriam's hand, suffering a mental breakdown.
Lucas couldn't bear to see this and discreetly inserted a silver needle into Harriet's head while she wasn't paying attention.
Harriet's crying halted abruptly, and her tired eyelids struggled to stay open.
After blinking a few times, they eventually closed.
"Will this be okay?" Miriam asked with sconcern.
