“Get out! Get out now!” Adina bit her tongue as she struggled to say those words out loud. Duke
hugged her tightly.
“Addy, it‘s okay. I‘m here to protect you. Nothing will happen. Don‘t force yourself...”
‘Addy is being controlled by the biochip. Most of the time, it‘s asking her to harm the person she loves...
‘I don‘t mind getting hurt a little. I can‘t continue to watch her being in pain...‘
“Go away! I told you to go away!” Adina looked at him through misty eyes. “Duke, go! If you don‘t, I
won‘t be able to control myself anymore...”
Earl‘s voice in her mind became louder and clearer.
“Addy, take out that dagger under your pillow. Aim it at Duke‘s neck and stab!”
“No!”
?
Adina shook her head painfully. Duke was still in front of her, holding her shoulders and comforting her
softly.
The voice in her head and the voice by her ears came together and spoke in unison. It was suffocating.
The thread of rationality in her head snapped.
Adina broke free from the ropes that she had used to tie her hands. She got up, took the dagger under
the pillow, aimed it at Duke‘s neck, and rushed towards him.
?
Just as the dagger was a few inches away from Duke‘s neck, her wrist turned, and the blade cut into
the back of her hand. It bled profusely.
The voice in her head finally dissipated.
“Addy!”
Duke held her injured hand and carried her downstairs. He swiftly got the first–aid kit.
Addy nestled on the couch and let Duke disinfect, apply medicine, and bandage her wound.
After he was done, he asked, “What was the order given to you?”
Adina smiled. “I told you to get away from me, but you kept sticking around with me...”
Before she could finish her sentence, she noticed Duke‘s expression darkening. She pursed her lips
and did not talk anymore.
Typically, if I violated the original program of the system, I shouldn‘t have remembered everything that
just happened. ‘But I was able to clearly describe the situation just now. It is to say, the command just
now
The bewitching voice tried to push her will to the edge again and again... The back of her head hurt so
much that she felt like her head was about to split in two. Half of her desperately tried to do as she was
ordered, and half of her would rather die in her bedroom
“Ahhhh!”
Adina screamed in pain and rolled off the bed. However, no matter how much it hurt, she did not break
free from the rope. ‘I must not hurt Duke, no matter what. ‘As long as I‘m still conscious, I will never hurt
the man that I love!
‘It hurts! It‘s agonizing! ‘It felt as if my bones were breaking apart!‘ Adina rolled on the floor, hitting the
table. The glass on the table shattered to the ground
“Addy, what happened?” Duke barged in and hurriedly approached her. When he noticed how much
pain Adina was in as she rolled on the floor, his expression changed.
