Even then, Katies malice hadnt faded. Her eyes glinted with cruelty as she struggled to rise and chase after the pair.
But halfway there, her arm gave out, causing her to crash back to the floor.
The impact was harsh, and she spat out a mouthful of dark, clotted blood.
As she lay flat, the blood couldnt flow away and instead pooled back into her throat, choking her.
Katie coughed violently, her arms turning a deep purple, obviously in severe distress from choking.
After the severe fall, her body was completely immobilized, unable to move at all.

She attempted to curse, opening her mouth, but only a hoarse, dry sound escaped.
More blood surged, the clotted mass choking her further, invading her windpipe.
Her coughs continued, with white foam forming at her mouths corners, and the sounds of her coughing grew fainter. Her hands pounded the floor as if seeking assistance.
But the building was eerily silent, save for the unconscious man under Lorenzos leadership.
Eventually, Katies body began to convulse violently in a final struggle. After that, she became completely rigid
Raegan helped Mitchel toward the elevator. Now that the building was secure and free from external threats, it was much safer and easier to use the elevator rather than the stairs, which would have been too taxing for her to manage.

Once inside the elevator, Raegan leaned Mitchel against the wall and took a moment to catch her breath.
She reached to press the floor button and turned around to see Mitchel staring at her with his piercing eyes, not blinking.
Startled, Raegan quickly reached out to feel his forehead, asking, How are you feeling? Are you okay?
Suddenly, Mitchel grasped her wrist and asked in a raspy voice, Raegan Am I dreaming?
He lifted his calloused hand to caress her cheek. Is this real?
He seemed delirious from the fever, feeling like he was experiencing a dream.
Raegan stood still, letting his blood-stained hand gently stroke her face. She responded with patience and tenderness, Its me. Im really here
Before she could finish, Mitchel abruptly pulled her closer and wrapped her in a tight embrace, holding her firmly. His arms encircled her like vines, securely holding her, yet he remained silent. He simply held her, savoring the realness of her touch.
Raegan felt the tight squeeze, but she did not pull away.
At that moment, they both needed each other.
His voice, slightly choked up, broke the silence. Just now, I had another dream about you. In it, you turned to look at me and embraced me at last
This made Raegans nose tingle and her heart fill with a bittersweet sensation. It turned out that during all the painful days they had endured, he had dreamt of her repeatedly. In his dreams, she had always seemed distant and indifferent. That was why Mitchel thought the embrace they just shared might be another dream, a beautiful illusion.
