Shadow Slave novel Chapter 2493

Chapter 2493 White Walls

Not long before that, Morgan heard the door lock after the psychiatrist left the room.

Some time later, the door opened again, and a nurse walked in, accompanied by three burly orderlies.

Morgan did not move, continuing to look out the window. She was seated in a wheelchair, her arms bound by a straitjacket… which wasn't that uncomfortable. What really drove her mad was that she was not allowed to shower without supervision, and the hospital staff was too afraid of her to wash her properly. Not that she would allow anyone to touch her.

Her personal hygiene situation was sorrowful.

Outside the window, the world was dark and veiled by rain. Distant spotlights were shining through the torrents of falling water on the dam that towered above the city like a great barrier. The sight of this illusory world... was strange and wondrous.

Morgan was not taking in the darkly stunning landscape, though. She was tracking the movements of the four people who had entered her room in the reflections on the surface of the window.

The orderlies locked the door and took positions around her, while the nurse brightened the lights and went about preparing an injection. She filled a disposable syringe with a transparent liquid from a medical ampule, then flicked it a few times and pressed the plunger lightly to let out the tiny bubbles of air.

"Miss Morgan, I will administer your medicine now."

Her tone was pleasant and polite.

Morgan did not turn her way, continuing to face the window.

She did speak, however.

"How strange."

The nurse gave her a confused look. Most of her face was obscured by a mask, but there was definitely a silent question in her eyes.

"Strange? What do you mean?"

Morgan sighed.

"You are not afraid of me."

She finally turned her head, looking at the nurse calmly.

"Anyone on the hospital staff would be at least a little wary. You must be new. Come to think of it, I don't recognize any of you."

The nurse chuckled in a friendly manner.

"Oh, yes. There are a lot of recent hires in the hospital these days, Miss Morgan. Now, if you allow me…"

Morgan smiled faintly.

"Oh, but you see, not only do I not recognize you, but I am also not scheduled to receive any injections at this time. And on top of that…"

She looked at the syringe the nurse was holding in her hand.

"The medication I've been receiving has a yellow tint. This one is entirely transparent, though. So, a nurse I don't recognize wants to inject me with a substance I don't know… at the wrong hour, no less. How peculiar, don't you think?"

The nurse remained silent for a while, looking at her kindly.

Then, kindness slowly drained from her eyes.

Giving one of the orderlies a cold stare, she said in a harsh tone:

"Hold her tightly. Ah, but make sure not to leave any bruises — it has to look natural, you know."

'Amusing.'

The orderlies stepped forward to hold Morgan down. Their rough hands landed on her neck and her shoulders, pressing her into the wheelchair and making it impossible for her to move. The nurse took a step in their direction, preparing the syringe.

Morgan laughed.

"Four entire people to handle one poor me. Well… I guess I'm worth it. I am Morgan of Valor, after all. Even if Valor doesn't exist anymore."

Her laughter stopped abruptly, and she pierced the nurse with a gaze so cold that it made the woman stumble.
