Chapter 1550
Chapter 1550:
Without another word, she strode over to Mason's bedside.
Under a voice-activated command, the lights switched off, casting the room into a shadowy, strangely intimate
atmosphere.
“Let's go,” Mason said, shutting his eyes and soaking in the tension.
Suddenly, a flash of something cold and sharp cut through the darkness, and Mason's eyes flew open, startled.
Shock held him in place as he gaped at Carol, completely at a loss for words. With an unfazed smile, Carol
reached for a wet wipe and casually cleaned the blood from her blade. “Well? Do you like it?”

She tossed the stained wipe in the trash and picked up the bunch of white lilies, placing them by Mason's
bedside.
As she walked past Nikolas, who was still frozen in disbelief, Carol spoke in a cool, steady voice. “Con. We're
leaving.”
The whole thing had happened in a matter of moments. Yet Nikolas could hardly process any of it.
When Carol finally made it back home, showered and changed, she found Nikolas exactly where she'd left him,
lounging on the sofa and lost in thought.
“Nikolas...” Carol reached out her hand toward him.
Nikolas’ first instinct was to lean back, shrinking from her touch.
Carol's hand hung in the air, awkward and uncertain, before she quietly pulled it back.
It hit her then—Nikolas was afraid of her.
All color had drained from his face. He stood abruptly, his voice barely above a whisper. “Sorry. | need to be
alone.” Without waiting for a response, he retreated to his room.
Scenes from the hospital played over and over in his head. Even as he tried to steady himself, his hands refused
to stop shaking. Not once had Carol lost her cool.

With a single, precise movement, she'd cut off Mason’s manhood, even pausing to wipe the blade clean once she
finished. Her face showed not the slightest trace of fear or remorse. She had set the white lilies beside Mason’s
twisted, pain-stricken face with a kind of eerie calmness.
Mason looked even paler than the flowers at his side.
And Carol, as if nothing extraordinary had happened, had simply said, “Let's go.” It seemed as though she'd
becimmune to violence, unfazed by anything around her.
Nikolas had always known the McCoy family wielded influence on both sides of Oiscoll’s law, but nothing had
prepared him for such raw brutality.
Long after they'd left the hospital behind, Mason’s anguished screams still echoed in Nikolas’ mind, haunting him
with every step.
The truth was undeniable—watching Carol walk out of that hospital room had left Nikolas shaken to the core.
As he hurried up the stairs, Daniela caught a glimpse of his pale face. He looked like someone who had just seen
a ghost.
“Carol, was it really necessary to do that right in front of him?” Daniela asked.
Carol just shrugged, toweling off her hair. “He had to face reality sooner or later. Might as well be now—when he
still has a chance to toughen up.”
