Perhaps it was because he had just seen the person he longed to see, but at that moment, Manfred suddenly felt much calmer.
He got out of bed, opened the door, and unceremoniously threw the two women outside.
There were people outside, so the two wouldn't freeze to death.
His movements were swift and decisive, without the slightest hesitation. As soon as he threw them out, he locked the door behind him.
Then, he returned to the bed.
The unbearable heat coursing through his body and the uncontrollable desire to indulge and break free made it feel like ants were crawling through every inch of his being. They were disrupting his mind, fraying his sanity.
The feeling became intolerable.
As his rationality teetered on the brink of collapse, he even considered opening the door and letting the two women back in. He knew they could ease his discomfort.
But Vivian would return soon.
In an instant, he grabbed the dagger hidden under his pillow and, without hesitation, plunged it into his thigh.
A sharp, searing pain surged through him as blood gushed out. His sanity immediately returned.
…
Vivian rushed back to the Galaxy Villa and headed straight for the basement, where the medicine cabinets were stored.
Each type of medicine was neatly organized and stored. But she was in such a hurry that her hands were fumbling.
After searching for a while and still not finding what she needed, she called Howard.
"Uncle Howard, a friend of mine has been drugged with... that kind of medicine. His whole body is burning up, and he's struggling to hold on. I've searched everywhere in the villa and couldn't find anything to help."
"A friend?" Howard was startled.
Could it be that someone had drugged Vivian? Damn it!
Not daring to take the matter lightly, Howard responded quickly, "That medicine is in the third cabinet. Open it, and you'll find a drawer inside. From the left, it's in the fifth row, the third slot.
"There are both pills and an injectable solution. Have him take two pills first—the injection will work faster and more effectively. Should I come over right now?"
Before Howard could finish, Paul, as if punched awake, snapped to attention.
"What did you just say?" Paul asked, stunned.
Howard repeated himself.
Paul frowned deeply. "It's possible. Vivian wouldn't want to worry us. Two years ago, when Mr. and Mrs. Martin disappeared, she was still young. Although she cried, she stayed strong.
"We all felt heartbroken for her. Even now, if someone bullied her, she'd probably hide it from us.
"Damn it, I need to find out who had the audacity to drug her! Let's head to the Galaxy Villa right away. Bring your wife—the two of us might make her uncomfortable. Let your wife talk to her."
"Alright, I'll get ready now!"
…
Meanwhile, Vivian had no idea about the wild assumptions Howard and Paul were making.

Is the author going to finally portray Skylark as a brave woman who can argue and communicate like a normal person in this real world? Hoping so.......
I don't like this story portraying Skylark's personality as too weak, too naive, Can't even defend herself Like accepting every humiliation from Vera's schemes and injustice without saying anything or doing anything. I wonder who is the protagonist in this novel, Vera or Skylark....
