Chapter 319 Escape the Pain
“We should pray before
any group
activities next time,” Lucy remarked ruefully.
Cherise had fallen asleep behind Lucy, her head resting on Damien’s chest. Lennon was treating
Lucy’s wounds.
“Be gentle!” Lucy cried.
Lennon deliberately applied more pressure to her wound with the cotton swab. “I’m going
to make sure it hurts.”
“Or you’ll never learn from this!”
“Pain won’t change me.”
Lucy rolled her eyes and turned to look out the window. Despite their playful banter, her eyes flashed
with steely determination.
Even though his words were harsh, he was gentler when handling her wounds.
In the back row of the bus, Rodney pouted and said to Mandy, “I’m in pain…”
Mandy tried to compose herself before glancing at his wounds. “Do you want me to help. you put some

“Yes, of course!”
Rodney’s eyes widened with excitement as he extended his hands towards her. “Remember to be
gentle.”
Mandy’s lips widened into a wide grin. She patted Jacob on the shoulder, who was engrossed in a
Korean drama.
Jacob took off his earphones. “Doctor, please hand me some treatment for his wounds.”
“Alright,” he replied.
Mandy gently spread the powdery substance onto Rodney’s wounds.
“Ouch!”
A loud scream echoed through the bus. “Jacob! What did you give Mandy?”

Jacob chuckled. “I brought some seasoning with me before the hike in case we had a barbecue on the
mountain.”
He raised his eyebrows at Mandy. “I also have cumin. Do you want some?”
Mandy glanced at Rodney’s wound innocently and said, “Honey, do you want me to spread some
cumin on your wounds?”
Rodney stared back at her in disbelief.
The car drove from Sequoia to Adania.
Mandy’s smile faded as her head began to throb with pain.
“I…”
Her face suddenly turned ashen. She clutched Jacob’s arms but couldn’t manage to say a

Inside the villa, a man in black opened the door. “I received a signal from her but can not longer detect
any voice signals.”
“She must have removed the chip.”
The woman in the wheelchair chuckled menacingly. “She’s become more arrogant.”
“Bring her here, no matter what.”
“Argh!”
“It hurts!”
Mandy clutched her head tightly and growled in pain inside the secret chamber hidden beneath Jacob’s

Despite the chamber’s metal door, Cherise could imagine how much desperation and pain Mandy was
feeling from her screams.
Her face drained of color as she turned to Jacob. “Do you have another way?”
“No,” Jacob said solemnly, closing his eyes and scrunching his face with despair. “This place is already
equipped to block off any signals.”
“But it’s not as helpful as being in the mountains.”

He read through the information in the file. “The chip has been in her brain for too long. It could be
attached to her arteries.”
“Removing it will be difficult.”
“The only way to help her escape this pain and stop being controlled by someone else is
to…”
The man closed the file. “Cut off the terminal.”
Cherise’s brows furrowed into a tight knot. Cut off the terminal…
It sounded like a difficult task.
