Revenge After Death (Michael and Stephanie) novel Chapter 306

Chapter 306 

“You’re overthinking this, Stephanie never had feelings for you from the start. She has someone she loves. and his name is Steven. She only thought you saved her, but the person who saved her wasn’t you,” I coldly interrupted Michael’s fantasy. 

Michael lowered his gaze and fell silent. 

When the car stopped at Huma Hospital’s parking lot, he finally said, “Stephie, the person you love isn’t Steven. Trust me, just this once. Please… You don’t love him. You fear and dread him. You once begged me to help you hide from him…..” 

1 frowned. “Do you think I believe a single word you say?” 

Between Steven and Michael, Steven’s credibility was evidently higher. 

“Stephie…” Michael grew anxious, finally able to experience the feeling of not being trusted. “Why can’t you believe me? Steven is really dangerous. You tried so hard to hide from him. How could you love him? He’s deceiving you, taking advantage of your memory loss to keep lying to you. 

“Dr. Jones said Steven isn’t a regular psychiatric patient. He lacks empathy and can’t love anyone. His mind is filled with obsession, leaving no room for others.” 

I ignored Michael, who kept badmouthing Steven. 

“Stephany?” As soon as we entered the hospital, Zion noticed me. “What happened? Are you hurt?” 

I shook my head and pointed at Michael. “He is.” 

A nurse approached to examine Michael’s injury and took him to the treatment room. 

“It was Martin’s men,” I whispered. 

Zion nodded. “You’d better stay at home.” 

“What are you doing here?” I asked. 

“There’s been another murder,” Zion said, looking around cautiously. “I came to check the situation. The victim isn’t dead yet and is being rescued. It’s obvious the killer is not a professional. 

“The killer panicked while trying to kill the victim and didn’t confirm the victim was dead before sprinkling those spices and escaping.” 

I nodded. “So, if the victim survives, he can reveal the killer’s identity?” 

“The killer has already been caught on camera. The police are making an arrest. I suspect someone is orchestrating everything. With the victim still alive, we can expose the mastermind behind this,” Zion said 

in a low voice. 

“Look, here.” He handed me his findings. “This person is also a parent searching for his missing son, who is 18 years old and has been missing for three years.”

I paused for a moment, looking at Zion. “In both murder cases, the common thread is that the killers are desperate parents who lost their children.” 

The killers were also victims. 

“Were the children all lost around the same time?” I wondered if their disappearances were also linked to the mastermind. 

“They weren’t lost at the same time, but there’s one common factor. All the missing children had the same issue,” Zion said, pointing to his head. 

“Mental disability, or…” I was taken aback. 

“Asperger’s syndrome.” Zion scanned the surroundings. “Some refer to it as a ‘genius illness‘. Children with this condition are considered God’s favorites–either a genius or mentally disabled.” 

Two extremes. 

I took a deep breath and looked at Zion. “Asperger’s syndrome…” 

Suddenly, my head was pounding, feeling like it was about to explode.
