Chapter 2

"Murderer! Give my daughter back her life!"

"It’s her! The surveillance footage clearly shows it! She blew up the lab to take all the research results for herself!"

"Crazy! A person like her deserves to be torn apart!"

Reporters shoved microphones into my face.

"Dr. Alice please explain, why did you destroy the laboratory?"

"You’re staying silent, does that mean you’re admitting it?"

"Alice, I know you didn’t mean it, you just… didn’t want Manni’s experiment to succeed, right?"

Manda stood behind the crowd, "lovingly" watching me.

I looked at her in disbelief.

"Mom... I didn’t..." I tried to explain, but my voice was drowned out by the angry roars of the crowd.

"This wicked woman! She killed my son! I want her to pay with her life!"

"Kill her! Kill this murderer!"

The family members lost control, pushing past the security guards and lunging at me.

"Stop! Stop!" I screamed in desperation, but no one listened.

In the chaos, someone tore at my clothes, spewing vulgar words.

"Bitch! Slut! Let me show you what it feels like to be humiliated!"

...

"Alice, do you see what I’ve brought you?"

Mandy walked into my hospital room.

Her voice was sweet to the point of being sickening.

I stared at her, blank-eyed, like a true madwoman.

Mandy’s smile widened as she leaned in closer and lowered her voice, her malice clear. "How’s life at the rehabilitation center? Comfortable?"

"It’s far better than the research institute, no more boring experiments."

She pulled a bottle of water from her bag, twisted the cap, and handed it to me. "Here, drink some water, soothe your throat."

I "obediently" took the cup, and just as I was about to drink, Mandy suddenly gasped, as if remembering something, and snatched the cup away.

"Look at my memory! The water’s too cold. You’re weak now, you can’t drink cold stuff."

She tilted her head and spat a few yellow-green phlegms into the cup, then handed it back to me.

"It’s better now, warm. Drink up."

I stared at her blankly.

I took the cup, and in Mandy’s smug gaze, slowly poured the water onto the ground.

"Mandy, I’m not thirsty," my voice was hoarse, with a touch of "innocence."

Mandy’s face instantly darkened. She grabbed my hair.

"Alice, don’t think you can escape by pretending to be crazy!"

Mandy opened my mouth and spit her phlegm into it and onto my face.

"Bitch, weren’t you so arrogant? Come, drink some 'beverage'."

Mandy pulled out a packet of dog urine from her bag and poured it into my mouth.

Then, she pressed her foot hard on my face.

The stench!

Disgusting!

Nauseating!

I looked even more "silly."

Struggling, but being held down by the nurse.

I drank down 200cc of dog urine.

"Good, that’s better. You’re just a slut for everyone, that’s what you deserve."

"Once I get my hands on the research results, I’ll show you what pleasure really is!"

"The stray dogs in the city are waiting for you, my 'sister.'"

The recording pen hidden in my sleeve faithfully recorded every word Mandy said.

After Mandy was done humiliating me in the room, she left.

I then heard two voices in the corridor.

"... That bitch, how is the plan going?" It was Mandy’s voice.

"Don’t worry, Mandy, everything is as you instructed," a strange voice replied.

"Hmph, that’s good. Remember, add some 'shit' to her food every day. Let her taste my 'favor'!"

"Yes, Mandy."

"Oh, and don’t forget to add dog urine to her water. Let her experience what I went through!" Mandy’s voice was sharp and malicious.

As expected, this "sister" would never let me live in peace!

This world thinks I’m crazy, and I won’t even bother pretending anymore!
