No ordinary human being could understand why Steven was 60 adamant about his perspectives.
“Is that kind–hearted doctor still in Huma?” I asked, still feeling concerned,
I distrusted Steven because he was too bloodthirsty at times. When I asked him if he’d killed a manbefore, he hesitated and didn’t answer me, which showed clear deflection on
his part.
Did Steven actually kill people before then? Was it connected to the orphanage serial killer case? novelbin
“The doctor is still in Huma.” Ewan nodded.
I sighed in relief. Investigating the matter would be far easier now, especially with eyewitnessesfrom that incident still present today.
“Let’s go back.” I was scared Steven would get hysterical again once he woke up.
Ewan nodded. “Mrs. Lincoln, I brought you over because I hope you’ll better understand Mr.Lincoln… Mr. Lincoln didn’t have fortunate beginnings. He needs unconditional love and care.”
I understood Ewan’s intention. He thought I’d be the one to save Steve. We were husband and wifenow, after all.
But… I could never be Steven’s savior. Steven wanted love, something that couldn’t give

“Mrs. Lincoln… we’re here.”
The car came to a stop while I was still in the midst of reading those articles.
Many people shared their hellish experiences at Saint Sahn Asylum. They claimed that the asylumdirector had a thing for watching attractive people be tormented, and those doctors he hired were
the real psychos there.
I couldn’t imagine what someone as handsome as Steven would’ve experienced there.
He was the kind of person who refused to yield and would continuously fight back. That would onlyagitate his tormentors and inflict more pain on him.
I was already trembling from how tense I felt after reading the articles.
I couldn’t imagine how desperate Steven must’ve felt then… being tormented over and over again.
If I were in his shoes, I’d probably kill someone too.
“Stephie!” Steven yelled from the courtyard. None of the house helpers were able to restrain him ashe searched for me, still barefoot.
Steven quietened down when he saw me. He came over and held me in his arms, saying hoarsely,I’m scared, Stephie…”
In that instant, I suddenly felt like what Steven was scared of was nothing more than losing me.

Right when I was about to try and get Steven back to his room, Zion’s car suddenly came to a stopoutside the center. He exited the vehicle in a hurry. “Stephany! Have you seen Rachel?‘
