At that terrible moment, Nora began to curse Darren from head to toe.

Nora simply couldn't believe her eyes.

When Nora regained consciousness, she found herself in the luxurious bedroom of a mansion. When she sat up from the bed and looked around at the unfamiliar and opulent environment, she felt very calm.

Carlos was stunned since she obviously didn't look well, and then he asked, ”You still don't look well. Can you tell me what happened to you and how you were hurt?”

Nora unconsciously grasped the quilt around her body like a shroud around her past and said lightly, ”Sorry, but that is my private business, and I don't want to talk about it.”
