Chapter 61

Chapter 61

During this time, the doctors and nurses at Virio's house haven't been wearing masks.

But this nurse was not only wearing a cap, she was also wearing a mask. Her outfit was completely different from the previous nurses.

Plus her eyes...

For a nurse, she looked way too sharp.

I clearly sensed something was off about her, so I stepped in front of her.

My action startled her.

She reacted quickly, stepping back and steadying herself. This was also different from the previous nurses.

From all these details, I sensed something. I looked at her tray again.

I noticed there was no medicine on it, no bandages, nothing that Virio needed.

I asked with a serious face, "Who are you?"

The moment I asked this question, the nurse's eyes immediately turned vicious. "Didn't expect to be exposed so quickly, but that's fine. Now I can kill both of you at once!"

This nurse looked at me, her eyes clearly revealing a killer's murderous intent.

I suddenly realized something was wrong and instinctively stepped back. "Don't even think about it."

The nurse was still holding the tray. Up until now, she didn't seem to think I could do anything.

I understood right away - this must be someone sent by Killian or Freya. Only they would treat me like some weak and helpless woman!

Without any hesitation, I grabbed the dagger from the table beside me and stabbed straight at her.

The dagger cut a gash in her arm. She stumbled and dropped the tray in her hands.

The tray crashed to the floor with a loud clang.

She clearly hadn't expected me to react so quickly. Anger immediately flashed in her eyes.

She quickly lunged at me, but I had already pulled out the gun I carried with me and pressed it directly against her stomach.

"I'm giving you one minute to tell me who sent you, or I'll shoot." Hearing this, she hesitated for a moment.

But I pushed the gun closer to her body. I could feel myself using a lot of force - the skin under her clothes was getting pressed out of shape.

Seeming to realize I wasn't joking around with her, she swallowed and finally spoke, her voice sounding like it was squeezed out through her teeth. "I can't tell you. If I do, I won't be able to complete my mission."

She seemed like she wanted to keep struggling, but my movements were faster.

My finger lightly touched the trigger. "Do you know I've killed people before? When your employer sent you here, they definitely didn't tell you that, did they?"

Realizing I could make a move at any moment, she froze, staring at me with hateful eyes.

Perhaps she hadn't expected that with me, she would experience the biggest failure of her assassin career.

I pushed against her again, my voice carrying a hint of temptation. "Tell me who sent you, and I can spare your life. But if you don't..."

My finger continued to move.

She suddenly laughed and said to me, "You won't shoot."

"Who told you I won't?"

Hearing this question, she froze again.

I laughed coldly. "I'm not who I used to be anymore. I'm guessing it was Killian or Freya who sent you? But too bad, today is your death day."

"Even if you don't talk now, I have ways to investigate the truth."

Just a little more, and the trigger would be pulled.

Sensing my pressure, she finally spoke, "I'll talk! It was Freya who sent me!"

Hearing Freya's name, I froze for a moment. Anger rose from my heart. "What was Freya's purpose in sending you here? Did she tell you to kill me?"

The assassin seemed truly scared by me. After letting her guard down, her whole body was shaking.

But her hand was trembling as she tried to reach for her pocket.

So I kicked her hard. After she fell to her knees, I pressed the gun against her head. "Better not try any tricks in front of me, or you won't know how you died."

By now, this assassin was completely convinced by me.

She shakily told me everything.

It turned out that after finding out I was the one who sent that anonymous email, Freya had been looking for assassins to deal with me.

This time, Freya had contacted several assassins, asking them who was most confident they could get close to me. This assassin chose to take on this task for the high payment.

After finding out Freya was behind it, I called the security outside. Soon, Luca came and asked me what happened.

I told him what just happened. He looked at me with relief and said, "After you shot that gun last time, you were quiet for a long time. Virio told us you were really frightened. I thought you'd never pick up a gun again."

I shook my head and said, "I never said I wouldn't shoot again. It's just that before, I was really scared."

So at that time I thought, if it wasn't necessary, I wouldn't shoot again.

Today was the same - I used my own methods to subdue the other person.

I didn't end her life.

But while I was chatting with Luca, I suddenly heard a noise from the hospital room.

My heart tightened. I quickly turned to look, only to discover the man on the bed had actually woken up!

Virio had opened his eyes.

Those beautiful eyes were staring at me and Luca in shock. I rushed over and grabbed his hand. "Thank goodness, you're finally awake!"

Luca was also very happy and came over to talk to Virio.

After they talked for a bit, I looked at Virio, but suddenly felt something was wrong.

The first thing he asked when he woke up wasn't about me, and he even pushed my hand away.

I stared at them from the side. Even Luca sensed something was wrong. He turned around and pointed at me. "Virio, why aren't you talking to Elvira? These past few days, she's been staying by your bedside the whole time. She's been so worried about you."

But Virio frowned slightly. When he looked at me, his eyes were full of confusion.

It was as if he didn't recognize who I was anymore. I froze.

"Elvira..."

My name coming from Virio's mouth sounded especially unfamiliar.

I had never heard him call me in this tone before.

I pressed my lips together. A sense of unease rushed to my heart, but I still grabbed his hand and asked, "What's wrong?"

This small gesture made him tremble.

This time he didn't push me away, but his expression was still unfamiliar.

"Have you been doing okay lately? But why are you here?"

These two questions made something explode in my mind with a boom.

I opened my mouth but didn't know what to say, wanting to ask him what he meant.

Virio looked at me again and gently pushed my hand away, frowning. "I remember we have a working relationship, but shouldn't you be at home? Why are you at my bedside?"
