Due to Sterling Norwood's intense restraint, the veins on his arm and face stood out, as if one could see the blood flowing within.
It looked absolutely horrifying.
He circled around the study's desk and took out a syringe filled with a pale blue liquid from the drawer.
He injected it into his neck.
Only after the liquid was completely injected did Sterling place the syringe on the table, collapsing into a chair.
He panted heavily.
The intermittent sound of Selena Kensington outside the room drifted into his ears.
It made him both anxious and hesitant.
But he couldn't go out just yet.
At least, he couldn't let her see him turned into a 'monster' like this.
Outside, Selena called out until her voice was hoarse, yet the study door didn't open.
She slumped against the wall beside the study door, legs curled up, arms embracing her legs, with her chin resting on them.
She felt very sad.
It seemed like she didn't understand him at all.
