Chapter 230 - Not wasting a second longer

"The book— I brought it. You can take it," Min Hyesook vocalised as she held the book forward.

The cloaked man turned back. Nonetheless, his cloak did not appear to be the one that he used usually, causing Hyesook to seem confused, and seeing how his physique was not similar either, Hyesook had assumed that man to send someone else.

The cloaked man moved closer to Min Hyesook and accepted the book from her. Before he could go away from that part, Hyesook tightly gripped on to his sleeve, causing him to stop.

Hyesook then said, "This is the last contact I am having with him. Tell him that. If he tries to contact me again, I will inform Jiwoo on how he is Jiwoo's father."

The man did not respond to Hyesook.

Feeling irritated by man's attitude, Hyesook vocalised, "I clearly know on why he gave me that medicine the other day. He totally did it because he did not want for her characteristics to be exposed, and tell him that I have fed her that. However, if he bothers me one more time, I will be revealing all of this to the—"

Before Min Hyesook could continue, the cloaked man extended his hand towards her and gripped her neck tightly.

Hyesook's eyes widened at that, and she found herself having a difficulty when it came to breathing. As Hyesook was suffocating, she moved her hands around randomly, trying to hit the man holding on to her

She attempted to kick the man multiple times by now. However, her actions remained unsuccessful. Although she tried to call for help, her voice was barely loud enough.

When Min Hyesook was very close to losing her consciousness, the man disappeared off to thin air. Clutching her neck with two of her hands, she fell back on the dirty road and coughed continuously.

Watching everything from a safe distance was Seo Jihyun, and surprise immediately showed upon his face after that. He did not expect to come over such a discovery.

There was no time for him to waste or think regarding it. He immediately had to let Han Minhyun know about it before things got more serious than this.

At the Moon Mansion, he had seen Hyesook take the fake book, making him inquisitive on her motive behind it, and he decided to follow after her, thinking that she is connected to whatever that threatens the Red Clan.

Nonetheless, he did not expect to come across this, and not wasting a second longer, he instantly transported out of that place.

The taste or the thought of drinking blood was not anything that Lee Soohyun found pleasant. Nevertheless, with her nose scrunched, she managed to drink down the entire goblet of blood.

The metallic taste of the blood lingered upon her tongue as Minhyun took the goblet from her, and Soohyun blinked her eyes once. That is when, she felt a sharp wave of pain hit her head, and a groan left her mouth.

The chants of foreign words continued to leave the Butler Shin's and Hwang Yejoon's mouth. Soohyun had a feeling that they intensified the pounding feeling inside her head, and holding her head tightly, she tried to calm it down.

Lee Soohyun took in a deep breath, and she found her chest being suffocated. She had difficulty breathing in that instant, and she began to pant.

Crouching down, Soohyun held on to her head, and a loud scream left her. All of a sudden, she felt another wave of sharp pain hit her, and she found her emotions being a mess at that instant. It was difficult for her to hold in her urge to cry.

Everything was overwhelming, and bending down to Soohyun's height, Minhyun placed his palms upon Soohyun's shoulder in order to show some type of support to her.

Nonetheless, Soohyun did not find herself noticing that. The pain was unbearable, and she found herself losing her consciousness. She found herself being slipped away into the darkness.

°°°

Lee Soohyun opened her eyes, and her eyes fell upon the mansion in front of her. She found herself being in her room in Minhyun's Mansion, and she had a feeling that she was forgetting something.

As she tried to recall about what she was trying to do earlier, Soohyun found gaps being there within her memory, and she stood up from the bed.

She walked toward the direction of the door and decided to take a walk outside for that might make her remember what she was forgetting. She had a nagging feeling within her to recall regarding it.

Stepping closer to the door, Soohyun extended her hand towards the direction of the door, and gripping on to its knob, she pulled the door open.

Stepping outside of the door, she stepped on the hallway and walked on the hallway. Without her knowledge, her legs led her to somewhere, and surprisingly enough, she did not find herself showing any resistance towards it.

That is when a voice caught her ear, and she immediately halted within her steps. The voice clearly belonged to Han Minhyun, and it seemed to come from behind the door.

"Lee Soohyun, she is merely a pawn being played by me," Minhyun said, "It is quite pathetic to see how she is this easily being played by me and believes what I say her. She is really stupid to think that I actually care for her.

All those feelings of her— I can clearly see the, how she is falling for me and is in awe with me. Her gullible side is really pathetic. She actually expects me to care for her!"

Hearing those words made Soohyun's eyes wider, and she clenched her hands into a tight fist. It would be a lie if she mentioned on how this did not hurt. It felt as if her heart was pierced bt something sharp.

Although she was hurt, she felt herself being quite angered. Nonetheless, she tried to maintain on a neutral expression. She was not going to let Minhyun have the pleasure of knowing that he hurt her.
