As they expected, Queeny became the immediate cause of the clash between the Rosefinch Club and the Dragon Club. The strongest two underground gangs wore each other out until one of them collapsed.
Now, Queeny no longer belonged to any force. To them, she was totally useless and harmless.
But why had they been after her and even sent so many people to kill her?
Queeny couldn't understand this. In truth, Felix was puzzled by this, too.
It was not until this time that they realized this matter was way more complicated than they had imagined.
After Queeny read the files, Felix was less agitated. He came to sit in a chair by the bed and asked, "What do you think?"
Queeny looked at him.
Her head was still in a muddle. She couldn't figure out a clue. But faintly, she felt a little perturbed.
Shaking her head, she said, "No idea."
Felix didn't speak.
His slender index finger tapped the armrest to a rhythm. A while later, he finally said in a deep voice, "They're bent on catching you. Based on what happened today, they probably want to catch you alive other than just kill you. Do you have anything that they want?"
Queeny showed a blank look in her eyes.
Neither of them spoke. They were both wondering what it could be.
Suddenly, a fit of desperate cries sounded outside.
The two were both stunned. But when Queeny heard several of the cries, she abruptly panicked.
Her already pallid face instantly turned as white as chalk.
"Sarah, my poor girl, you died so tragically. It's all your heartless sister's fault. Rest assured. I'll avenge you, my Sarah!"
It was Patrick's voice!
Seeing the color drained from Queeny's face, Felix knew he couldn't keep this from her forever.
Thus, in a mournful voice, he remarked, "Sarah died. I brought her body back and hired the best professionals to serve her. She is in the side building now. When you get better, you can go see her at any time."
He knew that after Queeny woke up and learned that Sarah had died for her, she would definitely want to see her.
As expected, Queeny nodded and said with an ashen face, "I'll go see her now."
Felix'sbrows furrowed.
His eyes swept over her bandaged-up body. After seconds of silence, he chose not to object.
He then bent over and carried her out of bed.
Queeny stiffened, instinctively wanting to break free.
But Felix suppressed her with a steely snarl.
"Behave yourself if you wanna see her! Do you think you can crawl your way there?"
Queeny stopped struggling at once.
Some time later, her tense body gradually relaxed.
She knew Felix was right. She wouldn't be able to make it to the side building on her own.
