Speaking of this, Mr. Turner scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed.
Only after being targeted did he realize just how bold and risky his behavior had been.
But it was too late for regrets. To avoid implicating his family, he had to pretend nothing had happened and talk to his sister on the phone as usual. However, knowing his sister, she had definitely sensed something was wrong and was likely trying to verify it.
Sure enough, during their last meeting, he deliberately ordered something he wouldn't normally eat and used a secret hand gesture only the two of them understood to convey his current situation.
Ms. Turner didn't let him down; she successfully received the message he was trying to send.
However, even though she knew, it was useless. The very day he returned, he was threatened into leaving the sanatorium complex and was then taken down a route straight into the basement.
Thus began those few days of living hell.
