When she followed Kim's gaze, Anne saw nothing.
"Wahahaha!" Suddenly, Kim burst into a manic laugh. "Anne, have no talent for being undercover. How could you get distracted by such a simple sentence?"
When she heard that, Anne's face instantly paled. Her worried eyes stared back at Kim as her mouth slightly twitched. Nonetheless, she still tried to feign innocence, "Kim, what are you saying? I have no idea about what you mean."
While shaking his head, Kim turned around and stared straight into her eyes. "There's no need for you to continue acting. Actually, I already realized that the drug's effect has already faded."
Surprised, she gawked at him and stared in disbelief. 'Why does he know about it?'
"The first time I acquired the drug, I've told my men to perform experiments. After hundreds of human trials, we finally made sure that it won't have any effect on the person's body after wearing off. Moreover, I was also sure that it's working for the duration. However, it was out of my expectations for it to change on you." With helpless eyes, Kim shook his head.
Despite all the research he had done, he was still surprised when something miraculous happened to her.
Even though she was injected with one year's worth of dose, it only affected her for a few days.
With furrowed eyebrows, Kim rubbed his temples. Then, he burst into laughter while helplessly shaking his head.
At that moment, he realized that God was blind. If that wasn't the case, how else could he explain his current situation?
As such, Kim had almost seen through everything. A complicated expression painted Anna's face. "I thought that my recent acting was great. What made you realize the truth?"
He turned around and looked at her with condescending eyes. "Yeah, you're acting was so good. It can be called perfect!
Unfortunately, that spotless performance also became my clue.
A great scientist invented that drug. It's his life's masterpiece. However, there's a small defect.
The subject's mind will change completely and will feel the opposite of their usual self. That mishap is the reason for the temporary recovery."
When she heard his explanation, Anne immediately thought of something. She recalled when Rose was still under the effects of the drugs. In several occasions when Rose called her lovingly, she was in a daze and looked at her with a frown, looking confused.
At that time, Anne didn't pay much attention to Rose. It was only at this moment that the former connected the dots.
"If something seems so perfect, it's even more suspicious. That's out of your expectations! Right, Anne?" Kim mocked as he shook his head and sat on the sofa.
With a helpless look, Anne replied in a sarcastic voice, "Yeah, I hadn't thought of it."
Even the smallest details could affect the outcome. It proved to be true.
"Well, you didn't expect it. Meanwhile, I also didn't expect that the influence of the drug will fade rather quickly!" Kim helplessly shook his head with a condescending smile.
He was having a hard time accepting what just happened.
With a frown, Anne glared daggers at Kim as she pursed her lips. Then, she said what she was thinking, "You told me you love me. However, because of what you did to me, I don't think that's true.
Do you normally use drugs to control someone you love? And to use her child to threaten her?
Well, we have time to spare today, Kim. Why don't we talk first? Let's talk about your false love for me."
With a frown, Kim stared Anne in her eyes. Soon, his expression grew colder and harsh. He stood up and kicked the sofa. In an angry tone, he growled, "Each of us has our own different way of showing affection. Anne, you may not love me, but don't you dare doubt my feelings for you."
She knew that he was fierce and scary. However, she wasn't afraid of him at that moment. He looked like a kid throwing a tantrum.
Although it was a ridiculous idea, this was what she really thought of him now.
With a shake of her head, she gracefully sat on the sofa and glared at him. "You kidnapped me that time just to lay your hands on Kevin's property. However, while I was still your captive, you slowly developed a good impression of me. Nonetheless, I still know myself, and I don't believe I deserve your affection.
You must have suffered a lot of emotional pain when you were young, Kim. Maybe it's because of my love for my child that you also developed an interest in me.
However, falling in love with a person doesn't mean that you imprison or control them. On the contrary, it means to support that person in anything she wants to do!
I don't feel any of that from you!"
"Ha-ha!" With a disdainful laugh, Kim shook his head. "Well, it's easy for you to say that. If it were another woman, such extreme measures won't be necessary. But you are Kevin's wife. How can I make you stay with me if I don't use such methods?"
That was his motivation for doing such horrible things.
Suddenly, police sirens echoed outside. Immediately, Anne looked into the distance.
"Both Kevin and you think you're so smart. Unfortunately, you didn't expect this to be a trap." With an arrogant smile, he crossed his legs while sitting on the sofa.
In a worried tone, Anne asked, "Kim, what's going to happen? What is your plan?"
