It seemed that he has used up all of his strength to utter it. As soon as he finished, he lay back on the bed, breathing heavily.
Summer gave Stanley a vacant look.
If Stanley hadn't set fire and almost burned Rosie alive, she would probably have softened and reconciled with him when she heard Stanley's explanation.
However, Rosie's incident had become Summer's raw nerve and it could not be forgotten, no matter what.
Stanley looked at Summer's expression and understood what Summer was thinking.
"My target has always been Leonardo... Perhaps you're right, if Leonardo and I exchanged positions, he wouldn't necessarily become someone as unscrupulous as me..." he said with a reluctant smile.
"This is no excuse to harm others. I'm selfish and inhuman... I deserve it."
Stanley was so badly injured that he didn't have much strength to speak. He was practically delivering an unvoiced speech.
Summer listened very carefully so that she could hear every word clearly. Summer moved her wheelchair closer to Stanley. She lowered her head and asked, "What did Lester do? Why do you want to kill him?"
Stanley asked, "Do you know the experiment subject?"
Summer nodded and said, "Lester said I was Subject Two."
Stanley's eyes instantly overflowed with deep hatred, and he said through gritted teeth, "My sister Bendy is Subject One."
"Isn't your sister a vegetable?" Summer had always wanted to know who Subject One was, but she didn't expect that it was Bendy.
