Chapter 69 Ready to Devote Yourself Already?

I focused my gaze and realized that the voice had come from someone locked behind an iron door. He was leaning against the small window, staring straight at me.

Looking at the person who had suddenly spoken, I forced a smile, trying to appear friendly, and said, “I’m a doctor here.**

He frowned and scrutinized me, snorting. “You can’t be a doctor. Doctors don’t smile at me, and you’re not wearing white. Tell me, who are you? Otherwise, I’ll summon my nurse to annihilate you.”

I paused, looking at him, and whispered, “I’m here to find someone, a friend. I’m not a bad person.”

“Bad person…. you’re a bad person…. definitely a bad person…” He suddenly started banging heavily on the door, making loud thumping sounds and shouting

Suddenly, the other patients in the rooms, hearing the commotion, became agitated, some even starting to howl. I was so frightened that I stood rooted to the spot, my mind lagging

“Woof woof…!” Suddenly, a large black dog rushed down the corridor toward me.

I broke into a cold sweat and instinctively started to run, but the big black dog relentlessly pursued me, about to pounce

e on me.

Then someone shouted, “Run toward the stairs!”

Perhaps it was instinct, but I ran to the safety exit and into the stairwell, locking the door to the stairway after climbing a floor

With the big black dog locked in the stairwell, I finally breathed a sigh of relief and realized that the person who had just reminded me sounded like a woman, and her voice was somewhat familiar.

After catching my breath, I went to the other stairwell, intending to go downstairs to confirm if the person who had warned me earlier was Sophia.

Unexpectedly, just as I reached the stairwell, I almost bumped into someone. Thinking it was a doctor coming to catch me, I was about to flee without a clear view

Then someone grabbed the back of my collar, saying, “Yvette, are you a pig? It’s me.”

Maxwell?

Hearing the voice, I paused and turned around to see Maxwell’s handsome and clear–cut face. I breathed a sigh of relief, looked at him, and said, “What are you doing here?”

He glared at me and said speechlessly, “Breaking into a mental asylum. Should I praise you for that, Ms. Yvette Scott?”

I pursed my l*ps. I did not have the time fonsense, so I said to him, “Maxwell, I think I saw Sophia. She’s in one of the rooms downstairs. Let’s go find her.”

As I spoke, I started pulling him to go look for Sophia, but he suddenly grabbed me by the back of my neck. “Yvette, want to be chased by a dog again?”

Being restrained by him in such an undignified way, I glared at him and said, “I’m here to look for someone, Maxwell. If you’re not going to help me, then at least don’t make things worse, okay?”

He pulled me, saying bluntly, “Make things worse? Yvette, I came here to save you, and you think I’m causing trouble? Let me tell you, this place isn’t just home to one wolf–dog. If you don’t want to die here, then follow me.”

With that said, without waiting for my response, he dragged me out of the building, leading me to where I had climbed over

the wall.

The wall was high and lacked footholds, so I needed his help to get up.

Fortunately, he knelt down against the wall, looking at me irritably. “Step on my shoulders and climb up. Hurry.”

Seeing this, I glanced reluctantly at the hospital building, feeling… frustrated to leave just when I was about to find her.

“yvette, what are you dowdling for? Hurry up!” Maxwell urged, already growing impatient.

Reluctantly, I stepped onto his shoulders, trying to climb up the wall.

“Woof woof…!” The sound of barking startled me, and in a fluster, I ended up straddling Maxwell’s shoulders. He, too, was startled and looked back to see the big black dog blocking our way

In my panic, I could not muster the strength to climb, clinging to the wall while perched on Maxwell’s shoulders, nervously asking, “What do we do? What do we do?”

Maxwell was also startled as he was pressed against the wall, saying, “I must have the worst luck. Yvette, if we get out of this, you owe me big time.”

As the big black dog got closer while barking, I tried to climb the wall but was too scared and weak to manage it. Resigned, I agreed with Maxwell. “Alright, alright, if we get out safely, I’ll do anything, even if you ask me to devote myself to you.”

“Ready to devote yourself already?” A deep and restrained voice rang out. It sounded so familiar.

1 paused for a moment, then turned to look. There, standing next to the big black dog in a sleek black suit, was a distinguished -looking man, accompanied by several doctors in white coats. By now, the big black dog had calmed down and was sitting like a cat, tilting its head up and sticking out its tongue, as if amused by our frantic escape.

“Idris!” Maxwell exclaimed, setting me down from his shoulders. He looked at the distinguished man with a frown, asking,” What are you doing here?“. Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
