Soren thought that Ann sometimes looked normal and sometimes even frighteningly shrewd, but at times, she was like a psycho.
He sent a message to Quentin, asking him to pretend to be Zayn to comfort this crazy woman. Quentin replied with a big crying emoji.
Soren put away his phone and stood by the window with no expression on his face. The events of last night replayed in his mind.
"I heard that she’s your fiancee, Mr. Guggenheim?" The hooded kidnapper held a knife against Ann's neck. His voice was coarse.
Zayn's eyes did not even flicker for a moment. "What do you really want?"
The kidnapper did not want money or anything else. He only kidnapped Ann and led Zayn over there, which was quite puzzling.
A lot of things happened in the middle. Zayn seemed to be thinking of ways to save Ann, but he was not very eager. Soren was all too clear about Zayn’s thoughts.
In the end, the woman found a way to escape on her own. Although she had some injuries, it was nothing compared to her life.
Soren clearly felt that Zayn was tempted to kill last night, not just the kidnappers, but the woman lying in the ward.
However, Zayn held back because their plan was about to come to fruition, so they could not lose all their efforts.
Soren narrowed his eyes and looked deep in thought. Ann was inside the ward. Once she saw someone approaching, she shouted, "Go away!"
The raspiness in her voice, which was not very obvious in the past, sounded particularly obvious when she spoke sternly and loudly. It was even a little frightening to hear such a voice at night.
One of her injured legs was exposed. The lower half was wrapped in gauze, and the upper exposed thigh and back were covered in tattoos.
No one knew how many tattoos this woman had on her body. The tattoos were all roses with red petals and green leaves. Even the sharp little thorns on the stems were clearly visible.
Although she had tattoos all over her body, this did not affect anything. Soren just did not know why she would have such a big reaction when someone saw her legs.
No one was in the ward, so no one saw how distorted Ann's face was. When she thought about last night and her injured leg, Ann could not help but feel the profound hatred that welled up in her heart.
She had clearly arranged everything so well for someone to kidnap her and Lindsey, but in the end, why was she the only one there, where was Lindsey Juhl?
Ann wanted the kidnappers to kill Lindsey in front of Zayn, then she would pretend to be terrified and find a way to escape. Zayn would suffer and she could also get rid of Lindsey at the same time.
‘But why did Lindsey disappear?’
"Why?" Ann muttered with disbelief. "How could she have gotten away?"
She did not know what went wrong with her plan.
Ann had injured her leg, but Lindsey escaped unscathed.
She could not accept this result, especially after the surgery when the doctor told her that she might get scars on her leg and even told her to be mentally prepared.
"No!" Ann shouted. She could not let her smooth, delicate skin have a single imperfection. She could not allow an ugly scar to stay on her flawless skin.
"I'm the perfect one!" Her eyes were dead set on a spot in front of her. "I’m better than her, whether it’s my figure or my face!" After saying that, she reached out to touch her leg, which felt delicate to the touch. She then felt satisfied.
However, as soon as she touched the gauze that was wrapped around the wound, she started screaming again.
"Let me take a look," Zayn said as he tried to lift the quilt.
Ann pressed on the quilt at once. Her voice was sharp and harsh as she yelled, "Don't!"
Zayn raised his eyebrows in surprise. “What’s wrong? I just wanted to see how your wound’s...”
In fact, her injury was more obvious last night, but Ann was not aware that Zayn did not even glance at her wound at all last night.
She held the quilt as her eyes unconsciously turned cold. “The doctor said that it’ll leave a scar. I don’t want you to see it.”
Zayn asked looking puzzled, "So what? Even with a scar, you’re still beautiful, so a small scar on your leg won’t matter."
"Ah! No!" Ann suddenly screamed, then reached out to cover her face as she shouted, "I don't want scars! I'm perfect and I don't want any scars!"
Zayn saw her going crazy with cold eyes. He did not say anything, but in his heart, he was laughing coldly.
‘She went crazy so easily? This is just the beginning!’
Once he got an insight into this woman's thoughts, she would not be able to live well.
Zayn had warned her so many times, but she still failed to change her ways and even targeted Lindsey again.
In his heart, Zayn could not wait for this woman to disappear from this world, but he had a worried look on his face. "What happened? Are you okay? It's fine if there’s a scar. It's no big deal."
The more he said this, the more agitated Ann became. Finally, the nurse came in and gave her a tranquilizer to calm her down.
