Anne lowered her head and gently planted a kiss on Simon's forehead. She stood up and slowly
walked out of the door.
The light was very dim downstairs where she was headed. The sound of thunder and lightning outside
reverberated in the area, which made the place look even more frightening than it already was.
Anne felt her fear crawl up to her skin, but she continued to slowly walk forward.
"It's late. What on earth do you want?" Anne asked. When she finally got downstairs, she found several
men in black standing in the dark corner. It was as if they were lurking in the shadows waiting for her.
"Anne, I don't want to do this to you. But this is the only way that we can be together." A glimpse of
affection could be seen at Kim's eyes, even if his expression could tell that he was in a difficult
situation.
Anne suddenly got a bad feeling after she heard Kim. She immediately tried to go back upstairs but she
was cornered by the Kim's men. They quickly surrounded Anne to stop her from fleeing.
The flash of the lighting lit up the chilling darkness in the place. Anne's face was covered with
frustrations and fear.
Anne turned around and glared at Kim. "Kim, what are you planning to do?" She couldn't help but to
grit her teeth in anger.
Kim frowned as he slowly took out the syringe in the middle of the table in front of him. The pale yellow
liquid medicine inside the syringe screamed instant death.
"Anne, do you know the reason why Rose suddenly changed? It was because I injected her with this
drug. I used her as a 'clinical trial' for this experiment to ensure your safety." Kim lowered his head and
touched the syringe in his hand. He was caressing it as if he was holding his lover. A gloomy, empty
smile was plastered in his face.
Anne couldn't help but stare at Kim in disbelief. No she knew the reason why Rose changed all of a
sudden. It turned out that it was Kim's doing!
She never expected that Kim would be at this point where he would develop a drug to change a
person's mind!
"At that time, the liquid medicine that I injected into Rose was less than 1/5 of this. Now tell me Anne,
how long do you think it would last after I inject it to you?" Kim narrowed his eyes and slowly
approached Anne.
With her eyes covered in fear, Anne hopelessly shook her head as if she was pleading Kim to stop.
She knew that she could not get out of this, not with all the men trying to restrain her.
"What do you want Kim? You want a puppet? Someone who can always do what you ask them to do, is
that it?" Anne lashed out as she gritted her teeth in anger.
Kim gave him a slight smile. He shook his head and sighed, "Of course not. Who would want that,
Anne? But you have given me no other choice. You love Kevin too much that you didn't even bother
giving me a chance. I know I cannot change what you feel about him, so I can only resort to this!"
As soon as Kim finished talking, he waved his hand and the men in black immediately restrained Anne.
The latter tried to struggle but the men were obviously stronger than her.
She helplessly screamed her lungs out, hoping that someone would hear her voice. The man next to
her immediately covered her mouth. Kim couldn't help but frown while watching Anne struggle.
He walked up to Anne and pulled her arm. Her eyes were covered in tears.
Kim's face darkened. He knew that Anne was very tough and she rarely cried. Seeing her in her
helpless demeanor made his heart ache.
However, he could not back out on this.
Kim pressed his lips in frustration. He knew that this was the only way to separate Anne from Kevin, the
only change he could get to be with Anne!
"I know that you'll change after this. You'll change so much that even I won't recognize you anymore.
You'll become a different person, far from the person that I fall in love with. But I have no choice, Anne.
I have no choice but to do this!" The pain and frustration was written all over his face. For the first time
in his life, his tone became weak and helpless.
He loved Anne. From her gentle and beautiful face up to her strong but warm character, he loved
everything about her!
After the injection, Anne would be reborn and nothing else about her personality would be the same
any more.
"As long as you are Anne, I will love you still. Nothing really matters more than that." Kim took a deep
breath and slowly lowered his head to continue. The syringe needle gently pierced through Anne's skin.
She whimpered in pain as she stared at Kim, her eyes still filled with fear and anger.
'Kevin, where are you? Kim, please don't do this!' she screamed in her heart.
But it was too late. The medicine was already injected into her. Anne slowly stopped from struggling.
Her muffled voice could no longer be heard.
This made Kim panic. He immediately waved his hand and his men slowly let Anne go. Anne's knees
fell on the ground, as if her legs could no longer stand by themselves.
Kim hurried stepped forward to help her, but he was stunned when he heard Anne's gentle voice.
"Even if you injected me this drug and changed me into someone else, Kevin would still save me. All of
this doesn't matter because he will come and save me. I will always love him in all the ways I can. I
could never love someone like you."
Kim's eyes grew cold after he heard Anne's words. He harshly pursed his lips and smirked. 'Is that so?'
the voice in his head tried to answer.
He firmly stood up, took a last glance at Anne, and left with his men. Anne felt the coldness crawl in her
spine as she remained seated on the ground.
Anne slowly raised her head. The rain outside was getting lighter, and the lighting grew weaker. She
frowned. She didn't feel anything wrong after Kim had injected her with that drug.
'Why didn't I feel anything?' she wondered.
She clearly knew what Kim wanted to do to her, and Rose's changes were still vivid in her mind. Anne
immediately tried to stand up. She hopelessly struggled her way back into Simon's room.
When she finally made her way into the room, she immediately came to see Simon, who was still
sleeping. Anne stared at his small face. She couldn't help but smile. But her calmness was suddenly
broken down by a strange intense feeling building up in her chest.
A loud crisp sound broke numbing silence of the night as Anne slapped herself in the face. She had
given all her remaining strength in that slap that her face immediately turned red and swollen.
She gritted her teeth and shook her head in confusion. Yes, she didn't feel anything peculiar after the
injection, but when she looked at people, her feelings about them were changing.
She was willing to sacrifice her own life for the sake of her children. But just now when she looked at
Simon, she felt that her love for him was gradually fading.
How could this be possible?
"Kim, I swear to the gods you won't succeed. I love my children and I love Kevin. Nothing, not even a
drug, could change that!"
Anne couldn't help but talk to herself. She couldn't contain what she felt at the moment. She hopelessly
held her legs tightly, as if she was trying to comfort herself.
Between Anne's muffled cries, a pair of black eyes lurking in the shadows were quietly watching her.
'Nothing can change it, you say?'
Kim smiled in disdain. There was no hint of regret in his heart for what he had done. 'You have the
confidence now, Anne, but you'll break sooner. Let's see how long you'd last.'
The night quickly passed. It was already dawn, and the heavy rain from last night left no traces except
for the rainbow painted in the sky.
Kim opened the window and looked outside. He didn't sleep even for a minute. He took a deep breath,
and the refreshing smell of Earth greeted him. 'Finally, a new day comes.' He smiled between his
thoughts.
In the other room, Simon, who was not used to sleeping late, just woke up from his sleep. He slowly
opened his eyes only to see Anne beside him, still holding her legs like a ball. He was surprised. He
immediately walked towards his mother that he didn’t even bothered wearing his shoes. He looked at
Anne in confusion, his eyes filled with frustration and pity. "Mom, why are you sitting here? The floor is
really cold."
A young familiar voice caught Anne's attention. She looked up at Simon and frowned.
Who was this child in front of her? She couldn't recognize him anymore.
Anne stared at Simon, her face filled with confusion. She tried opening her mouth to say something, but
she didn’t even know what to say.
"Mom, why are you sitting there? Is there something wrong?" Simon asked Anne with an innocent look
on his face. He couldn’t understand what was happening.
Anne shook her head and stared at Simon with a strange look in her eyes.
This child was hers and Kevin's!
But she couldn't understand why she was feeling this way. What she felt was hatred and disgust when
she saw him!
Anne was surprised. 'I love my children, why would I feel this way? Why would I hate him?'
Simon's face looked like hers, but staring at it gave her a sense of rejection. It was so intense that she
didn't even want to see it ever again!
She turned her gaze at the window. She saw the rainbow painted in beneath the clouds. Anne tried to
reach out her hand and knock the memory inside her head. Something had happened last night. She
was sure of it. But she had forgotten everything.
What happened to her?
She tried to recall her memories from last night but she could not really remember. She also wondered
why she was sitting on the ground in the first place, but no matter how hard she tried to rethink what
happened, she still couldn't recall anything.
"Mom, don't sit on the ground. It's too cold. Please get up." Simon stretched out his small hands and
held her mother's hand to help her.
A loud bang filled the room.
Anne was surprised as soon as she realized that she pushed Simon when he tried to reach her hands.
She looked at the scene in front of her in disbelief. She pushed Simon, her own Son, to the ground!
She couldn't believe herself.
"Mom, is there something wrong with you?" Simon looked at her mom in disbelief.
He knew that his mother loved him deeply, and that she would do anything for him. Why would her
mother push her hard like that? He was also confused.
Anne immediately tried to help Simon up, but when she saw her hands as she was about to reach her
son, she suddenly stood up and left.
When she saw Simon's confused face, she couldn't help but feel the hatred crawling in her skin.
Simon was her son, her beloved son…
She went downstairs, still wearing the troubled and confused look on her face. She saw Kim when she
finally got down, his eyes glued to the stairs as if he was waiting for her to get down. She looked at
Anne with love and affection in his eyes. Anne felt a burning sensation in her face. She was blushing
like crazy.
"Could you please stop staring at me?" Anne's voice was pleasingly soft but shy. It was as if she was
looking at the love of her life.
Kim's eyes dimmed. Last night, Anne confidently told him that even a drug would not change her, but
with that expression plastered in her face?
Finally!
Anne changed, she was no longer the Anne that hated her!
Anne couldn't help but stare at Kim's face. She was admiring his handsome, manly and perfectly
chiseled face. His cold demeanor only added a mysterious and attractive aura in him.
Anne suddenly shook her head. She knew that she hated Kim, but why was she admiring him right
now?
"Ha-ha." A helpless smile formed on Anne's lips. She knew she was getting crazy. Her memory in the
past was clear as daylight, but her feelings were intensely out of place.
"What do you want to eat?" Kim's voice echoed in the room.
His voice was loving and gentle. Anne couldn't help but to get caught by his words. Her body stiffened.
Her face was flushed in red and her embarrassment was drowning her. "Anything's fine," she answered
in a soft voice.
She turned around after talking to Kim. She could hear a voice from her head, saying that it was not
bad to stay with Kim like this. She felt her heart agreed to her thoughts.
On the other hand, Kim was staring at Anne who was still confused with herself. Was this gentle Anne
really what he wanted?
"Dad, what happened to Mom? Something is wrong with her today. I feel it," Simon innocently asked
him as soon as he saw him when the child got down the stairs.
He reached out to Simon and held him in his arms. He looked at Simon's confused face and signed
heavily.
It was natural for a child like Simon to worry about her mother. After all, he knew that Anne's changes
could affect her love for her son.
"Your mother is fine. She's just a little tired. She will be fine in a few day, so don't worry. Right now, you
have to be good and don't make her angry, okay?" Kim gently caressed Simon's face while he talked.
Simon nodded in response. Now he knew why his mother acted so strange. It turned out she was just
tired.
