"Do you remember now?" Walter asked, his voice echoing in the silence. Tears welled up in her eyes as she
looked into his, struggling to recall the events of the past years. She was at a loss, unsure of what he expected
her to remember. 'What was it exactly...' she wondered, her mind a whirl of confusion.
Quinn searched his face helplessly for answers, but Walter merely smiled. He seemed to understand her silent
plea for help, shaking his head lightly. "I won't tell you. If you remember, you wouldn't look atlike this," he
said, his voice soft yet firm.
Quinn's mouth opened to respond, but Walter leaned in close, interrupting her. Her eyelids fluttered instinctively,
her body recoiling slightly. His face loomed larger before her, almost touching, and she instinctively tried to pull
away. But Walter gripped her chin, immobilizing her. Their noses nearly touched, their breaths mingling in the
tense silence.
She held her breath, daring not to move. Walter whispered, "Quinn, you really should die." His words sent a chill
down her spine, her heart skipping a beat as she met his smiling eyes.
The next second, he suddenly grasped the chair and shoved it. The chair flipped, and Quinn hit the ground hard,

rolled down her forehead. The extent of her pain was known to none. She couldn't cry out.
Walter didn't linger. He turned and left the room, the door closing behind him, leaving Quinn alone on the floor.
Her wrists and ankles were raw, the ropes stained red with her blood. Barely opening her eyelids, through
disheveled hair, she stared at the door. Momentarily, she couldn't tell if the pain was more severe in her body or
in her heart.

She couldn't grasp Alexander's or Walter's motives. All their actions were enigmatic. Alexander had kept her
isolated and expected her to be content as a caged pet, yet he was distant and refused to divorce her. Walter
had kidnapped her to this place, pressuring her to remember something, yet he wouldn't reveal what she was
supposed to recall. 'l didn't even know him," she thought.
A wave of exhaustion swept over Quinn, so profound that she felt as if the entire world was conspiring against
her. With a sense of despair, she closed her eyes, surrendering to the overwhelming fatigue. 'Is it all because I'm
just a dummy?’ That was her last thought before slipping into unconsciousness...
Dusk had settled in. Alexander sat on the living room couch, surrounded by a scattering of shredded paper. The
remnants of the divorce papers he had torn up now lay quietly at his feet. In the past, ripping up the agreement
meant Quinn would obediently stay. But this time, the scraps had lain on the floor for a whole day without any
word from the little dummy.
Kyle hung back at the doorway, hesitant to enter. After a full day of searching with no trace of Quinn, and Abigail
disappearing at a blind spot in the surveillance without a trace, he was at a loss. In the sprawling expanse of
Amber Bay, if they weren't using phones or the internet, even a meticulous search would take weeks to
complete. By then, they could be long gone.
