Katie observed the rhythm of Luciana’s breathing for a moment before retrieving her phone, stepping quietly to the door. “How did it go?” she inquired.
Abel, his voice shaking, barely audible over the line, was a mess of wounds and blood. “Miss, I’ve completed the task.”
A satisfied hum escaped Katie as she air-dried her freshly painted nails. “Nicely done. And Lauren’s condition?”
“She’s stable. I’ve administered her dose,” Abel responded.

“Good. End the call now,” Katie directed crisply.
But Abel hesitated, his voice laced with an earnest confession. “Miss, I must tell you about this. I hold you in high regard. It was your gaze during the fight that spurred me on. My only wish is for your continued happiness…”
Though only hearing his voice, Katie sensed the gravity of Abel’s injuries.
Abel pressed on his wound, speaking slowly. “Regarding that night, it’s all my fault. Please don’t hate me. If only I had exercised more control…” His remorse was palpable even through the phone.
“Abel, you’re forgiven. Yet, there’s something you must do,” Katie replied, her tone flat.
Grasping her cue and the gravity of the moment, Abel simply nodded.
“I’m aware.”
With a bitter smile, Abel grasped a vial of potent fluid and doused himself with it.

The agony that tore through him was immediate, as if he were a torch ablaze. Choosing such an end was beyond imagination for anyone given a choice.
His heart, though, was beyond repair, the point of no return had been crossed.
Abel’s voice was resigned, laced with a final plea. “Miss, my time of aid has passed. Regarding our child, please bring it to the world…”
Abel knew Katie lied, but still, he clung to a slender thread of hope. He had no regrets.
“I promise you. Go ahead with your work, Abel,” Katie reassured softly.
“Understood,” Abel replied, a short, solemn acceptance.
The pursuers were upon Abel now. Commands rang out, sharp and cold.
“Freeze, hands up!”
Abel met his fate with a resigned smirk. In an instant, azure flames wrapped around him, and he was swept into an eerie spectacle of cobalt combustion.
Everyone was too stunned to react. They had never seen such a bizarre flame that could instantly burn a person to ashes, leaving no trace of tissues. Not only the body but also the phone was consumed by the flame.
The medical staff finally came back to his senses, exclaiming, “Report it! Report it quickly! The criminal under tight monitoring has escaped from the hospital!”
In an instant, the special hospital became busy. Everyone Looked for that criminal frantically.
