passed away, so she didn’t object to the treatment. 

However, after half an hour had passed, Juliana had not emerged from the emergency room. 

She sensed something was wrong and asked a nurse to check on her. 

The nurse’s cry of shock could be heard from inside. 

“Ah! Someone’s dead!” 

Cecilia rushed into the emergency room and found doctors and nurses on the floor, but they were all unconscious. 

She immediately stepped forward to check their heart beat. Fortunately, they were all just unconscious. 

However, Juliana was gone. 

At that moment, Juliana had been taken away by a man disguised as an emergency room doctor.

So, instead of leaving the hospital, he took Juliana, who was badly injured and unconscious, to the furnace room. 

After all, his intention wasn’t to save Juliana! 

The furnace room was usually empty, with patrols and coal replenishment done at specific times.

The smell of burning flesh drifted over, and the searing pain awakened Juliana. She wanted to scream in agony but was muffled. 

Cold sweat tricked down from her forehead, tears filled her eyes, and her body trembled due to the pain. 

She looked at the man in the white coat before her, completely unaware of what was happening. 

Seeing Juliana wake up, the man smiled under his mask. 

He tossed the coal, now infused with the smell of roasted meat, back into the furnace. 

“Don’t scream, or I will throw you in as firewood.”

The man loosened his grip and said, “Tell me everything you know about Cecilia, and I’ll let go of you and help you kill her.” 

These words made Juliana’s eyes lit up.

After hearing her remarks, the man interrupted her impatiently, “I don’t have much time. Get to the point!”
