“You disgust me.”
“Couldn’t hold it in, eh? Getting so angry just from saying that much – but do you think that’s just it? No, it’s just the beginning. If you want to keep listening, I’ll keep talking. You can leave any time you want. I’m not the one who’s going to mourn in the end!
“Even just thinking about the days Robert was getting tortured, I don’t feel like it’s so bad getting shut in here. After all, I can think of the pain he went through before, and I can imagine the pain you’ll go through in the future. Isn’t that pretty great?”
If Georgia was to pick someone whom she hated the most, she might have said there wasn’t such a person before.
She hadn’t cared about Emma Lane any longer. She’d grown strong enough to get over the people who’d hurt her, the people she’d beaten, strong enough not to let them linger in her mind and cause her pain.
Now, though, she couldn’t do it.
Seeing Sierra’s face, Georgia wanted to rip her to shreds.
“Keep speaking. Don’t think I won’t be able to bear it. He’s my husband, and I’ll listen to all the pain he’s been through. I’ll protect him and love him from now on. You think I can be defeated by something like this? No, I’ll only cherish the days we spend together even more, and live the rest of our days in happiness, while you die without ever getting an ounce of satisfaction.”
At Georgia’s words, Sierra only sneered.
“Hold on to that confidence and listen to me, then. I want to see if it’s still there when I finish.”
Sierra recalled past events for a while, and started describing them again.
“We’d tried to get him hooked on new types of drugs, too, but his nerves had been damaged and the chemicals we’d injected had been too complex. Miraculously, he rejected those drugs and didn’t develop any reliance. Until the end, his body seemed to develop a resistance to other toxins. He couldn’t get addicted at all. So, through all that, we couldn’t threaten him from this angle.
