My heartbeat quickened, but thankfully my face was concealed. Giovanni shouldn’t be able to recognize me.
Suddenly, he made a puzzled sound. "Hmm?"
My heart leaped into my throat.
He casually remarked, "I think a horizontal incision would look prettier."
I smiled bitterly in my heart.
Giovanni, when you discover that the person on the operating table is me, will you regret this joke?
After Lianna playfully pushed Giovanni out of the operating room, her expression shifted, becoming cold and calculating. As the anesthesia began to take effect, Alice’s consciousness faded. The needle pierced her arm, and the scalpel hovered ominously over her abdomen.
Lianna pressed a finger to the earpiece in her ear, a devilish grin spreading across her face.
“Inform them on the other end—”
Before she could finish, the sound of urgent footsteps echoed outside the operating room, followed by a panicked voice.
“Mr. Collins, Alice is missing!”
Another voice shouted in alarm, “The person inside is Alice!”
