My only way to escape now was to take advantage of Dylan.
I was suddenly struck with an idea.
I leaned against the wall, pretending I was about to faint.
âMy head hurtsâ¦â
âAre you okay?â
As expected, the nurses thought I was unwell and became very anxious.
One came to support me while the other continued guarding the door.
The nurse who was propping me up said, âPlease hold on.
Iâll take you to the doctor right away.
â
Then she helped me walk towards the outpatient department.
We didnât encounter anyone else on the way, so I grabbed the opportunity to knock the nurse out.
I dragged her to the staircase and quickly changed into her clothes.
Pretending to be a nurse, I lowered my head and walked to Dylanâs room.
The nurse at the door assumed I was just a nurse making my rounds, so she didnât stop me.
After a cursory check, she let me in.
My body sagged with relief.
I managed to get into the room this time.
As soon as I opened the door, I was greeted with a very pleasant scent.
When I looked closer, I saw the room had been decorated much more cozily than before, and flowers had been placed on the table.
Dylan was sitting on the edge of the bed and drawing something on paper with a colorful pen.
Contrary to what I had anticipated, everything looked good.
I silently walked to Dylan.
When I reached in front of him, I bent forward and asked smilingly, âDylan, we havenât seen each other for so many days.
Do you miss me?â
At the same moment, I happened to catch a glimpse of his painting.

Dylan had drawn a family picture with Caleb, Elena, and him.
But in the motherâs place, I never imagined he would draw Debraâs figure.
A hostile feeling surged within me.
My pent-up fear over the past few days and Luisâ coercion suddenly broke through their restraining chains in my mind.
I was so enraged that I snatched the painting, tore it up in a frenzy, and tossed it into the trash can.
I was absolutely furious.
Debra and Dylan had never seen each other before.
How could Dylan draw her so precisely? Had they met each other behind my back?
I hadnât even left yet.
Was Dylan so eager to find a new stepmother?
