Chapter 662 Twisted Values

"So, this is your reason for repeatedly scheming against everyone?"

Yena realized her tone was rather hysterical and tried to regain her composure. "Does it matter? I've

never been treated well, anyway."

At Yena's answer, Elspeth shook her head helplessly. "That is a vengeful mentality. It will eventually

destroy you."

"Do I need you to tell me that? Do you think I don't know?" Yena staggered to her feet and walked to

the edge of the rooftop, overlooking the scenery along the river. "The night view of Damoria is truly

beautiful. I don't know if you've noticed, but when you stand at the top and look down, everything feels

so small and surreal."

When Elspeth noticed the precarious railing, she felt a sense of unease.

"I come up here almost every night after work. I've schemed against too many people in my daily life.

I'm truly exhausted. Only here can I truly relax. This is my secret sanctuary, but now you know my Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

secret." With a relaxed expression, Yena held onto the railing and propped her chin with one hand. "Do

you know what I was thinking just now? I wanted to push you off from up here."

At her words, Elspeth's heart skipped a beat. I was right to be cautious just now.

"But I didn't do that because I know you have good skills, and if we were to argue, I might end up being

the one pushed off."

Elspeth chuckled. "Good that you know that, but I won't push you off. Maybe I'll choose to pull you back

instead."

Surprised, Yena turned around and looked at Elspeth. "Why? Don't you hate me? If I die, everything

can go back to how it was."

Elspeth slowly approached her but made sure to keep a safe distance from the precarious railing. "I

don't hate you, but I do dislike you. You have hurt many people with your actions, so I can't bring

myself to like you. But it's not exactly hatred. I have never truly hated anyone."

After hearing that, Yena raised an eyebrow. "I seem to understand why Callum likes you now. You are

indeed different from other women."

"That's an overstatement, but it's best if you step back a bit. I don't think that railing is very safe."

At her words, Yena suddenly burst into crazy laughter. She deliberately reached out and shook the

railing vigorously. "You think so? Actually, I've known all along that this railing is unsafe, but I still

choose to lean on it. If nothing happens, then it's my luck, but if one day I accidentally fall off, then it's

fate."

"Why do I feel like you don't really care about living?" Elspeth listened to her words and couldn't help

but feel that they were the ramblings of someone who had lost all hope for life.

"Take a guess," said Yena as she blinked at Elspeth.

After Elspeth inspected her complexion, she noticed her heavy dark circles. Her footsteps seemed

unsteady as she walked earlier, and her body appeared frail. "Are you sick?"

"Terminal lung cancer."

At her answer, Elspeth fell silent for a long time.

"Before this, I wanted to cure my cancer, but I found no results no matter where I sought medical help.

That's when an evil thought crossed my mind—I wanted everyone to suffer from lung disease, just like

me."

Instantly, Elspeth understood that this grand pandemic was actually a product of Yena's revenge on

society. This is truly… mind-boggling.

"But I never expected that the virus I thought was incurable could have a cure so soon. I thought that

even if there were people who could find a cure, it would take several years. I never imagined that you

would persist and develop the cure so quickly. Elspeth, oh, Elspeth, you truly are my nemesis. Are you

sent by God to punish me?"

Elspeth frowned. "I think your values are quite twisted. Perhaps before doing anything, you should

carefully consider whether it's right or wrong."

"Consider? Why should I consider?" Yena shrugged. Due to the wine earlier, she felt dizzy and

stumbled, almost falling off the railing. "I'm already on the verge of death. Do you think I still care about

that?"

"So, you called me here today just to talk to me about these things?"

Yena nodded readily. "That's right. These things have been weighing on my heart for a long time, and I

couldn't find anyone to confide in, so I thought of you. It's ironic that in the end, you're the one I can

truly open up to."

At this moment, she forced a sorrowful smile. My life is so miserable that I don't even have a confidant

by my side. In contrast, Elspeth has a blissful marriage, someone she loves, and a loyal friend who

would do anything for her. Everyone seems to listen to her. She was consumed by jealousy and on the

verge of madness.

Elspeth noticed the change in her gaze, which had become malicious. After she pondered for a

moment, she took a few steps back instinctively.

"Elspeth, I don't understand why you have a better life than me."

As Elspeth watched Yena struggle with her obsession, she uttered a remark that hit the nail on the

head. "Because you were wrong from the beginning."

"Oh, really? Tell me, where did I go wrong?"

"From the very beginning, when you chose to return and approach Callum, that was already a

mistake."

Why obsess over someone who no longer loves me? Yena naturally saw through Elspeth's pitying gaze

and understood her implication.

"Alright. Maybe you're right," she replied. With the wind blowing on her face, her mind cleared up a

little.

"Are we done? Can I go now?"

At that, Yena seemed somewhat unwilling. "Why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

"Remember what you promised me." Elspeth paused in her tracks. "I came here today to chat with you

as we agreed, so you must promise me not to spread the mutated virus."

At this moment, Yena pouted. "When did I promise you that? I never promised that I wouldn't spread

the virus if you chatted with me."

"Are you saying that you're going to play dirty?"

"What play dirty? Elspeth, it's your assumption that this is a condition for exchange. I never agreed to

it."

Elspeth's gaze gradually turned icy. "Meaning that you will still spread the virus?"

"Of course. Did you really think that if you chatted with me, I would have a change of heart and start

anew?" Yena burst into laughter. "How naive. Okay, I don't feel like chatting with you anymore. You can

go. But as for this virus, at precisely 3.00PM tomorrow, I will ensure that it appears in every corner of

Damoria."
