Sienna sighed, shaking her head. "Perfectly healthy legs subjected to intense meridian-clearing and bone-stimulating acupuncture.
"The conflict between the medication and the needles only damaged your tissues and nerves in reverse.
"The more you were treated, the more clogged your meridians became, and the stronger the numbness and pain grew. Over time, your fake paralysis naturally became real."
The moment those words dropped, dead silence choked the room for several seconds.
Celeste stared in sheer, unadulterated disbelief.
On that meticulously made-up face, every ounce of her fake persona shattered into a million pieces, revealing the raw terror and twisted malice beneath.
From the very beginning, Sienna had seen right through her entire charade!
During Sienna's seemingly casual probes earlier, Celeste had been thoroughly convinced she hadn't exposed any flaws.
And Sienna hadn't confronted her either.
She thought she had gotten away with it, never expecting...
The so-called medical treatment had been a weaponized backlash against her lie from day one!
"You... you held back from exposing me this whole time," Celeste's voice quivered violently.
"You deliberately let Dr. Vance treat me, all just for today, just so you could permanently destroy my legs?"
Sienna shrugged. "What else did you expect?"
Her cool, indifferent eyes carried no viciousness or aggression, just an absolute, all-knowing calm.
But that absolute calm was infinitely more terrifying than any furious screaming.
She was looking at her the way one might look at a pathetic clown overestimating its own worth.
The moment the lie was utterly torn apart, a reckless, suicidal madness erupted within Celeste.
She ripped the thin blanket off her lap and stood straight up from the wheelchair.
"Sienna!"
With bloodshot eyes, Celeste lunged at her like a complete psycho, her face contorted in rage.
"I'll kill you! You ruined my future, you destroyed my life! Give me my legs back!"
Sienna didn't flinch an inch.
