Backup!

Xiao Wei's eyes darkened. This wasn't a hospital. This is a torture place.

Her whole body shuddered as she thought about the pain she went through. Her medical knowledge allowed her knowledge about how painful these serums can be. And four doses on top of that?

This is when she knew she needed to destroy this hospital. But with what? Her family's power? She couldn't trust them anymore. She needed to find out what else they did to her and what their secret was.

She took the file. And came out of the secret room. She slowly locked the cupboard and looked at the time. 2:47 am. It was already way past midnight. She was in here for more than 5 hours.

Just as she tried to open the big door to go out.

It wouldn't open. She was stuck!

Her mind was already in puddles. But she calmed herself and thought that it's a private hospital. Only the patient rooms and emergency rooms are available at this time. Everything else is locked down and no staff. Which include the 9th floor!

She slouched on the floor. Her intelligence wouldn't help her this time. There were no windows and no way to go out. She had to wait till the morning.

At that moment, her stomach started grumbling. The last meal she had was in the morning. Mrs Zhe sent her meat dumplings and grilled salmon. Even if everything they did to her was bad, she'd miss Zhe mom's home cooked meals.

After this much work and stress, her body was naturally fatigued and couldn't hold on anymore. She was drifting to sleep as the big door suddenly opened. She didn't have the energy to get up hide anymore, so she didn't move at all.

She couldn't see clearly anymore. The closed room with little air flow already tired her out. Her half shut down eyes suddenly met a pair of dark but ethereal eyes. Those eyes looked straight out of a romance webnovel. Cold and mysterious pair of eyes on porcelain white skin.

A strong pair of arms picked her up with a swoosh. "You've worked hard" in an extremely gentle and mellow tone was all she heard before she drifted into darkness.

Wallace's POV

I know where she's going. I know she can take care of herself, she's strong. I've already placed cameras around the hospital. I want her to be safe at any cost.

Wallace chuckled at Xiao Wei trick with the itching powder. "Mmh. Not dangerous enough to kill?" Wallace smiled gently.

He watched her looking for the files for hours. His heart clenched at the efforts she was giving. He could've asked his men to look for it. It would've taken less than an hour. But he knew if he did that, Xiao Wei wouldn't believe him. He kept watching the girl intently without eating or drinking anything, he could never eat when this girl is going without food.

He saw her reading the journal about her. He gave off a deadly menacing aura. He would torture the person who tortured Xiao Wei for years before letting him die. He held back because he wanted Xiao Wei to feel the pleasure herself. She wouldn't like it if he did things for her. Just as she came out, he put on his blazer and smiled to himself, "You're strong, but I'll make you stronger."

I got in the hospital and because of my authority no one questioned me. I got in the private elevator so no one could see which floor I was getting off on either. 9th floor. And I slowly opened the door after my assistant hacked the lock within seconds. I saw her on the floor. Pale, tired and worn out. My heart was crying. But I know I shouldn't stop her. It's for her own good. And I'm her backup!

I picked her up gently, so she doesn't get hurt.

"You've worked hard", I whispered as I placed a light peck on her forehead.
