them?"
"Shut up!" Melvin shot her a cold look. "If it was that simple, we would have found them at the factory. Who is
this person? What's their name?"
Sydney avoided his eyes. "I... | don't know who they are. Never met them. | only have their phone number."

killed me!"
"So tellexactly what happened.”
Melvin's eyes were terrifying - that ice-cold stare felt like a knife through her heart. She finally broke down and
confessed everything.

Only now did Sydney realize she was doomed regardless. Even if she helped Vivian, her cousin would never
forgive her.
Melvin's eyes narrowed. Vivian again.

The cold wind whipped against her, but her body felt burning hot.
Her hair clung to her scalp, soaked with rain. "I have a fever," she said weakly.
