Chapter 223: Mei

"…seriously? Why so dramatic?"

Glen buried his face in his palm. The little girl shrugged, showing some attitude despite her haggard condition.

"We needed to have a cliffhanger to end the previous chapter, so my dialogue was intended to leave the readers hanging with some cryptic tone."

"The fuck are you talking about?"

"Does it matter?" Shun Yin cut in wearily. He turned back to the girl. "I'm Shun Yin. This is my friend, Glen. We are here to save you."

"I told you, it's too late." The girl glanced downward. "I can't be saved. I don't have much longer to live."

"Why?" Glen frowned as he studied her. "You look perfectly fine to me. If it's about food, don't worry. We'll bring you somewhere to eat once we get out of here. I know a good restaurant in the neighborhood. It'll be my treat."
