Chapter 583
Even Diana’s hands were swollen, and looked like a pig's trotters. Her hands almost melded with the severed and
torn rope, making it impossible to distinguish where her flesh or the rope began.
Fortunately, Madam Fulcher seemed to have recovered slightly.
Her complexion had regained its healthy color.
“Diana..." She opened her eyes, and as soon as she saw Diana's appearance, she was filled with grief and almost
burst into tears.
In fact, she did cry. "I'm so sorry, my dear."
Diana smiled weakly at Madam Fulcher, as if she had no strength left." You...ugh...!'
The cuts on Diana's mouth caused by the glass shards stung, making it incredibly painful to speak.
She tried several times, but couldn't speak normally.
Madam Fulcher's tears flowed even more fiercely.
Her trembling hand gently touched the wound on Diana's wrist, where the broken glass had caused a deep cut. She
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthesitated and withdrew her hand. “I know you want to say that I don't owe you an apology, but this time, I was
really in the wrong. I wanted you to escape and verify our bet, so I staged that performance just now. But as an
actor who didn't know the script, you improvised. And the result..."
She reached out with trembling fingers to touch Diana's wound, but recoiled and withdrew it. "The result.Js that you
got hurt to this extent."
Diana was slightly stunned. Was the acting Madam Fulcher mentioned referring to the play they just performed,
pretending to be seriously ill?
She looked so distressed, almost unable to breathe-and it was all an act?!
Like a balloon that suddenly lost its air, Diana instantly collapsed to the ground as the adrenaline that coursed
through her dissipated.
Madam Fulcher immediately acted like a guilty child, looking down and cautiously asking, "Are you angry with me?’
Diana shook her head.
She was relieved.
And that feeling had crashed over her, leaving her with no strength.
Whether it was acting or not, as long as Madam Fulcher was safe, Diana's own physical condition didn't matter.
Seeing the sparkle in Diana's eyes, Madam Fulcher was deeply moved.
'I'm glad you're not angry with me."
She was extremely relieved, and wished to bring Diana and Julian together before her death to let them know each
other's feelings and reconcile.
As for her, she was already in her last moments.
Madam Fulcher endured the suffocating feeling of oxygen deprivation in her brain and the stabbing pain in her
heart. She pretended to be fine as she untied all the ropes that Diana had helped her cut, and then walked to the
window steadily.
"Look, it's all a backdrop."
In other words, this place wasn’t a luxurious hotel.
Diana realized this, and looked at Madam Fulcher in shock.
’Everything here is an illusion," Diana said, pulling aside the backdrop before her to reveal the building behind; it
was covered in reinforced
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmconcrete, filled with spider webs and dark empty windows, as if it had been abandoned for a long time.
'It looks like...an abandoned residential area." Diana struggled to swallow,' Right?"
’Yes," Madam Fulcher replied. "We can't determine who our kidnapper is at present, but the one thing I can be
certain of is that you must escape from here."
Diana covered her mouth, preventing the pain from speaking as she asked, ‘So... You pretended to be sick, forcing
me to have an outburst and give us a chance to survive?"
‘What else could we do?" Madam Fulcher said. "Sitting around waiting to die isn't my style."
At this moment, there seemed to be a hidden knife in Madam Fulcher's gaze, sharp and resolute.
Seeing how clear Madam Fulcher's words were and her logical reasoning, Diana finally believed the former had only
been pretending to be ill.
’I'm sorry to have put you through this," Madam Fulcher said. "You had to pay such a great price to break free from
the ropes and gain your freedom."
More importantly, it had worked to lower Hans's guard.
This increased the probability of Diana successfully escaping.
Yet at that moment, neither of them could have anticipated that despite everyone's efforts in the kidnapping case,
in the end... Each person would be trapped in the whirlpool of fate, and there would be no winners.
