Vera felt as if she were in a dream, gazing almost obsessively at the man before her.
It wasn't until Victor Morgan turned around that she felt herself snap out of it. Her mind suddenly reeled as her eyes flew wide open, a flood of memories rushing back.
"You're awake. How do you feel?"
Vera wasn't concerned about her own condition. Instead, she asked, "Is Penelope Hale still alive?"
Victor Morgan's brow furrowed slightly. He hesitated for a few seconds before replying, "I truly didn't expect you to do something so extreme for Zola."
"...What do you mean?"
Vera didn't understand what Victor Morgan was saying. She had only tracked Penelope Hale down to uncover the truth.
"Penelope Hale isn't dead, but there's almost no chance she'll ever wake up. She's crippled for life. The police are involved, but rest assured, I won't let them convict you."
Hearing this, Vera began to understand what he meant, and at the same time, found it unbelievable.
