The Psychotic Girl’s Revenge

When Enrico asked that, Paige almost felt like the past three years hadn’t even happened, as if everything was just yesterday. Otherwise, who would hold onto something from three years ago so stubbornly?

She looked at him, much more open and calm than three years ago, and responded, “Why do you think I came back?”

“How would I know?” Enrico replied with a tense expression.

This conversation… it was as if the past two months had never happened, as if they were only just reuniting now.

Paige watched him, raising her other arm to rest it on her forehead, slowly closing her eyes. Even she could hear the weakness in her voice, “If you don’t know, you don’t know. It’s not that important.”

After her words, his presence suddenly drew closer, full of pressure, making it hard to breathe.

Paige opened her eyes and saw Enrico leaning over her, his deep eyes glaring at her fiercely. Through gritted teeth, he said, “You spent three years coming back to The Capital, went to study at the Medicine Curse Sect, and with only a breath left, you tried to die with Emery. Now you tell me, that’s not important?”

Was she playing him?

Lying there, Paige looked at his thin lips and smiled slightly, “So you knew. If you knew, why ask?”

“…”

Enrico was left speechless, glaring at her even more intensely, his gaze fiery as if he wanted to devour her.

So fierce.

Paige gazed into his deep-set eyes, and as his look grew angrier, she gradually let her smile fade and softly parted her pale lips, “Enrico, I missed you.”

Maybe it was because she was so weak, her voice was light, carrying no weight at all.

Yet, with just that light statement, the harshness in Enrico’s eyes vanished completely, leaving only a hint of shock.

“Because I missed you, I came back early.”

That was it.

No other reason.

Her arm was resting on her forehead, her hospital gown loosely draped, casting a faint shadow over her face. Her eyes, though veined with tiny blood vessels, were still clear and pure. Her long lashes fluttered, stirring his heart, and her lips lingered just inches from his, each word gently slipping into his breath.

He stared at her intently, at her pale and soft lips.

Those lips, which had just said “I missed you” twice.

“…”

Enrico licked his lips, suddenly sitting up, pulling at his collar. His heart was beating wildly, and he appeared completely disoriented.

This woman… she was definitely not the same as three years ago.

Paige watched him, unable to move. She still had a lot she wanted to ask him, but she needed to focus on the situation with Temple in Heaven right now.

So, she asked again, “What are the casualties among my people? I want to check on everyone.”

She was the leader of Temple in Heaven, and it was her responsibility to handle the aftermath.

Upon hearing this, a shadow flickered across Enrico’s eyes. He looked down at her and said, “What do you mean ‘your people’? Aren’t I the only one you have?”

“…”

Paige looked at him helplessly, “You know that’s not what I mean.”

“Whatever it means, I don’t care,” Enrico replied.

“Enrico…” Paige said, her voice tinged with even more helplessness.

“Since you know I can’t get into bed with you right now, don’t try seducing me with that soft little kitten voice,” Enrico said, swallowing dryly, his eyes filled with frustrated desire.

“…”

Kitten voice? She was just speaking weakly because she was injured.

Paige wanted to ask about River Town again, but a wave of intense drowsiness hit her, and she couldn’t stop her eyelids from closing. She had just woken up, so why was she already feeling tired again?

So tired…

Paige tried to force her eyes open, but her eyelids grew heavier, her mind emptier, and eventually, she fell asleep once more.

By then, the IV bag had just emptied.

Enrico glanced at her, unsurprised that she had fallen asleep. He stood up, replaced the empty IV bag with a fresh one, and sat back down, his face dark and unreadable.

Jaden entered the room just in time to see Enrico changing the IV bag. He bowed respectfully, “Boss.”

When River Town was in trouble, Enrico had already informed him. But The Capital was so far from River Town that by the time Jaden arrived with his team, it was all over.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

Paige had been severely injured, and moving her wasn’t an option, so she had been treated at the closest hospital to River Town. However, the medical team was brought in by Jaden and Dr. Clinton, along with all the necessary equipment, flown in with speed.

“Hmm.”

Enrico responded coldly, tossing the empty IV bag aside. The label on the bag indicated that it contained a sedative.

Jaden, knowing the situation was not his fault, nodded and asked, “Boss, Dr. Clinton says Miss Paige’s condition is stabilizing. Shouldn’t you rest for a while?”

Paige had been unconscious for two days, and Enrico hadn’t left her side, not even to sleep.

“How’s the situation?” Enrico ignored the suggestion and asked coldly.

Hearing this, Jaden sighed quietly, glancing at Paige, who was fast asleep, and said, “It’s better she’s asleep. I’m afraid she won’t be able to handle the news when she wakes up.”

He glanced at the empty IV bag that had been tossed aside. It was clear that sedating her was part of the plan, as she needed to focus on healing.

Enrico’s expression darkened further. He massaged his temples before saying, “Handle the aftermath with Temple in Heaven. Seal off this entire floor, and don’t let anyone disturb her recovery.”

“I will.” Jaden nodded, then couldn’t help but glance at Enrico.

Even now, Jaden didn’t fully understand what had happened. All he knew was that there had been a massacre in River Town, Paige had saved lives, and somehow, Enrico had regained his memory.

Did this mean that the AS schizophrenia gene was cured and wouldn’t relapse?

But how could they be sure with a mental condition like that?

And staying awake like this wasn’t good for Enrico’s health either. What if he was triggered again…

“Worried I’m still a monster?” Enrico suddenly looked up, his eyes dark and sharp, cutting through Jaden’s thoughts.
