Chapter 815 Evil In The Midst
Hopelessness, horror…
At that moment, Amber was confused as she wailed uncontrobly.
She felt as if her surroundings were spinning, her vision cking out and the ground falling away from
under her. She felt as if she was falling into a dark abyss.
The mysterious man’s words cut through her like a de and mercilessly dashed all hopes that she
had harbored.
Yes! It had already been three days and she should have been discovered long ago. But now?
Jack and her parents had already gone back… Where was her final hope?
All was quiet inside the room. Amber bit her lips until they bled. She continued to cry pitifully and
hopelessly. She felt surreal and could not tell if this was really happening. Everything happened too
quickly. It was so fast that she could not mentally process it.
Who could have thought… that the mysterious man who had been protecting them had been scheming
all this time? Now he turned around and staged a plot right under their noses!
“Why are you … what’s the reason for doing this?” Amber begged and asked, “Who is that woman
beside my husband?” Amber had never felt so terrified and hopeless. Now she felt absolutely lost and
desperate as if she had fallen into hell.
“Of course she’s there to rece you.” The mysterious man shrugged and scoffed. His frostiness
pierced Amber straight into her bones. Amber felt as if the mysterious man had turned into the devil.
“It’s about time for me to go back.” The mysterious man rubbed his hands and stood up. He looked
down at Amber and said, “No one noticed that I took you away from Jack. Perhaps now I am the
greatest devil to you but when I return to Jack and the others, I will still be their most trusted guardian

angel. Isn’t that ironic?”
After saying, he did not bother with Amber who remained in the bed. He rubbed his chin and then
mumbled, “Hmm… in order for me to have a more secure ce in their hearts, I will still have to do
something more convincing.”
After he said, whoosh, something flickered brightly in the air. Amber shuddered and was gripped with
terror. Death seemed to engulf her.
But… stab… and blood sttered! Amber looked in terror as the long de missed her and plunged
into the mysterious man’s body.
“Mmph!” The mysterious man grunted in pain inside the patient’s room. But he started to grin sinisterly
as he raised his head to look at Amber and said, “Look, am I more convincing with a deep stab in my
thigh?”
Amber was stunned. Madness! Devilish! Perverse! Instantly she revised her attitude towards the
mysterious man. He was a man who was devoid of principles, who was able to scheme with
unscrupulously, and who now resorted to self-harm… was this even humanly possible?
“But, this doesn’t seem enough. I should have another wound.” The mysterious man said confidently
and looked like a madman.
Before Amber came to her senses, he pulled out the knife from his thigh and his blood began to spurt
and even some fell onto Amber’s face.
The next second, the mysterious man plunged the knife on his left arm without hesitation. Fresh blood
flowed from the deep wound on his left arm. His ruthlessness towards himself was as if his arm was not
part of his body.
He grunted as he winced in pain. The mysterious man pulled out the knife and wiped the blood on his
shirt and then kept the knife along his waist.
He grinned sinisterly at Amber and said, “Look, wouldn’t these two wounds be enough to maintain my
position next to your husband as his guardian angel?”
Amber continued to tremble as she was drenched in cold sweat. She continued to bite down on her lips
and remained silent. She was terrified beyond words.
The perverse and pure evil disyed by the mysterious man caused her to question her trust towards
people in general. But she knew that when the mysterious man perfectly covered his tracks and
returned to Jack, the oue would be just as he said. The two self-inflicted wounds would certainly
earn Jack’s sympathy and enhance his trust towards the mysterious man.
‘Evil in the midst!’ That was what Amber thought of the mysterious man in her mind.
She looked at the mysterious man limp out of the room due to his leg wound and left a trail of blood on
the floor. Thud! The door closed gently but to Amber, the sound sounded thunderous. Her thoughts and
sanity returned after the mysterious man left to receive some treatment.
Escape! She had to escape!
Her bleeding lips and pale face made her look exceedingly desperate and pitiful. Her eyes were
swollen from crying but was focused and determined!
“Jack is waiting for me. My parents are waiting for me. Daisy and the rest are waiting for me. I cannot
let someone else take my ce. I am not so easily receable. My hubby and parents will not allow it!”
At this moment, although Amber was physically weak, she managed to erupt in firm determination. She
started to struggle to break free from her binds but in her efforts, her skin was abrased and started to
bleed. She started to wince and frown from the intense pain. But she did not stop because she was
determined to escape.
“I need to go back, I must go back…” Amber continued to motivate herself even when her arms and
legs were hurting. To her, all these were secondary to her desires to escape. She wanted to get back to
Jack and her parents.
She would not let that devilish mysterious man scheme and erase her existence. She definitely would
not allow another woman to rece her!
“Hubby… I, I will definitely return to your side!”
Crack! The sound of bone breaking could be heard.
Amber trembled as her left wrist became numb and her entire body was engulfed with pain. With a
grunt, she suddenly felt all the energy draining from her body.
Her left wrist had fractured in her struggles!
