She had heard someone calling her "Rosalind Gold", a nshe had long since abandoned. That was a remnant of a past she believed she had put to rest for good. Yet now, it was resurfacing, threatening to drag her back into memories she had sworn to kill.
For years, she believed she had cut off all ties with her former self, but hearing the nshe had carried for over two decades still triggered an instinctive response.

"I've prepared the latest batch of drugs. Should we administer it to the test subjects today?" "How many times must I tell you?" Clarice's voice turned icy as she fixed her gaze on him. "They are not test subjects. They are patients. Don't make it sound as if we're monsters." The man chuckled and responded, "Of course, you're absolutely right!" "By the way," Clarice added, her eyes narrowing slightly. "Did you see anyone suspicious while you were on your way here?" The texchanged confused glances.
"Suspicious? No, Dr. Amaryllis. This place is tightly guarded-it's almost impossible for anyone unauthorized to sneak in.” Clarice let out a derisive snort. "Don't get complacent. We're in Savrow now, not Meridan. Better safe than sorry." Meanwhile, Jace had also been summoned to the hospital to lend a hand.
As he walked forward with his usual stoic composure, he spotted a couple of medical staff wheeling a hospital bed in his direction. At first, he paid it little mind, but then a weak, frail voice reached his ears, emanating from the bed.
"Brother... Save me... Please... Save me..." Jace's cold gaze dropped to the source of the voice.
On the bed lay a girl, deathly pale and trembling. Her thin arm, peeking out from the sheet, was covered in bruised and swollen needle marks.
His eyes narrowed, and he paused in his steps. The girl's tear-filled eyes locked onto his, brimming with despair and agony. Jace had seen countless dead bodies in his life and even more people on the brink of death.
But this girl's gaze struck him in a way that his cold soul could not ignore. It was like a dagger plunged into his chest. Eventually, the girl, her face full of hopelessness, was wheeled away.

"Dr. Amaryllis instructed us to deal with her as soon as possible." Jace's brow furrowed as he asked, "Was it a relapse?" Chapter 2374 1 "Put her out of her misery?" Jace's fists clenched involuntarily, the veins on his hand bulging, mirroring the storm brewing in his mind.
He did not see himself as a virtuous man, but the inhumanity of these people scraped against the last shreds of his moral compass, grinding it to dust.
Just then, Clarice approached him, her tone as cold as ever. "I'll be meeting the Boss shortly. You're responsible for watching over that man tonight. This is a direct order from the Boss himself." Jace stared at her, his expression dark and unreadable, as though he wanted to say something but ultimately held back.
At that moment, a male doctor crunning toward them, clutching his neck and wincing in pain. "Dr. Amaryllis... I was attacked!" Clarice's expression froze. "What happened?" Chapter 2374 2 Jace's face remained impassive, though a flicker of intrigue danced in his dark eyes.
"Who attacked you? What did they look like?" Clarice demanded, her voice sharp.
"I... I didn't see..." "Useless!" "But... I think... It was a woman!" Jace's gaze sharpened slightly, a ripple of surprise crossing his otherwise stoic expression.
