His tone was soft and hoarse, tinged with a hint of regret.
She felt a mix of confusion and concern.
“Why are you apologizing to me?” Hannah grasped Bryson’s hand warmly and advised, “Don’t be too hard on
yourself.
After reassuring Bryson, she asked, “Why were you still out in the corridor after being drugged? Was it because
of Brodie?”
“No.
” Bryson’s expression grew somber.
“A crazy woman approached me.
She's probably still locked up in that room.

“A crazy woman?” Hannah looked at him, her head tilted slightly in bewilderment.
Bryson responded, “Con.
I'll show you.
Once they had freshened up, Bryson led Hannah back to the original room.
Upon opening the door, they heard someone banging on the bathroom door.
“Help...”
The woman's voice was feeble.
Hannah turned towards Bryson, ready to open the door, but he stopped her.
“Lethandle this.

As a figure dashed out, he quickly stepped aside to avoid her.
Ryleigh, looking disheveled, kept mumbling, “It’s so hot.
It’s so hot.
Bryson stared at her without emotion and said coldly, “It’s her.
“Hmm...” Ryleigh was clueless about what Bryson meant.
She was just overwhelmed by a burning sensation throughout her body and desperately needed relief.
Despite the blurred vision, Hannah recognized the figure as Ryleigh.
Without a second thought, Hannah fetched a large basin of cold water from the bathroom and dumped it over
Ryleigh.

“Ahem! Ahem! Ahem!”
The cold water made Ryleigh cough violently, helping her regain sawareness.
Noticing smoke rising in the distance, Hannah quickly doused the incense with water from a bottle.
“This substance is meant to incite mating behavior.
” Hannah glanced coldly at the woman on the floor and commanded, “Tell the Hopkins family to cget her.
Bryson showed no intention of assisting Ryleigh.
“She brought this on herself.
She'll have to face the consequences.
With that, he took Hannah's hand, and they left the scene.
After their departure, the room’s door opened once more.
A tall figure emerged-it was Brodie.
