The drizzle kept falling, and a faint sunlight penetrated through it all, falling into the room through the gaps in the curtains, driving away the darkness and bringing some light.
This building looks very old. Green vines climb up the cracks and pipes and into the windowsills. There are not many pieces of furniture inside. Apart from some necessities of life, there is nothing extra.
**The girl woke up slowly, and saw the white ceiling. She smelled the familiar smell of disinfectant in the air and couldn't help frowning slightly.
This is a ward, but unlike the common wards where several people live together, the girl obviously has a special status and is lucky enough to get an independent room in this hellhole. Although her freedom is limited, she is really lucky compared to those patients who have to wear straitjackets all the time.
Lucky...bullshit lucky!
Eve raised her hand and wanted to punch the door, then jog out, but her anger dissipated as soon as it rose.
She leaned on the pillow, picked up an apple from the fruit basket beside her, and started to eat it without caring about her image.
Click. Click.
Biting the apple hard, she looked like an angry squirrel, but Eve knew that this was the only place she could get a little angry with the apple.
Eve Phoenix, heiress to the Phoenix family, detective of Sualan Hall, and self-appointed Captain Inglés…
Well, these identities are not important now. At this moment, Eve is a patient, trapped in this place called Black Mountain Hospital.
The cause was a raid on a gang more than half a month ago. The manipulator behind the incident was Hercule. Because of his desire for secret knowledge, he took advantage of several other forces and caused disputes over the inferior secret blood.
The ending is also familiar, the demon appears, and Mr. Lorenzo Holmes makes a brilliant appearance at the critical moment to end it all.
For Lorenzo, the incident ended there, but for Eve, it was still going on. She and the detectives from the Suarlan Hall were corrupted. In order to ensure that the influence would not spread, the Purge Agency took them into the Black Mountain Hospital for mental examination and treatment to eliminate the corrupting influence.
But after all, this treatment lasted a little too long, and the doctor said the same thing every day, saying that she had not recovered yet and could not leave. Compared to this nonsense, Eve was more inclined to believe that Arthur had locked her up here.
The worried old father finally couldn't stand this frightening daughter anymore, so he simply sent Eve to be fostered here. Eve couldn't run away anyway, and the old father was probably busy dealing with the affairs of the delegation.
Although Arthur never revealed those things to Eve, after having been in contact with Lorenzo for so long, she could more or less guess those things. But because of such speculation, she felt that she had really angered Arthur this time. Perhaps when she was discharged from the hospital, Arthur would send her to some paradise-like island and say goodbye to the so-called demon.
Eve doesn't want this, she doesn't want others to make decisions for her.
She also tried to escape many times, but was caught halfway through each time. Maybe because of her identity, the doctors were very polite to her and at most just put her in solitary confinement.
