The Deadly Assassin Robin (Tristan Storm) novel Chapter 874

Chapter 874 The Worst Evil in Human Nature

In the dim, sterile corner of Room 409, Rylee crouched, clutching her head tightly, her body stained with blood.

The short, stocky nurse stood above her, striking with a brutal, relentless force, punching and kicking without any hesitation.

Lucinda stood frozen, unable to tear her eyes away from the horrific sight.

The room no longer resembled a hospital ward; it had turned into a chamber of torment.

How could someone whose job was to care for the vulnerable inflict such cruelty on a defenseless woman?

In her shock, it took Lucinda a moment to recognize the trembling figure in the corner–it was her daughter.

“Stop it!” Ferell shouted, grabbing the nurse’s arm and tossing her aside with force.

The nurse quickly shifted into a pitiful act, pretending to be innocent. “She was hurting herself! I–I was just trying to help her!”

Lucinda rushed to her daughter, kneeling beside her.

She gazed down at Rylee for what felt like an eternity, the truth slowly sinking in. It was Rylee.

The pain in her chest was almost unbearable, and she nearly lost consciousness.

Robin steadied her with a gentle tap on her arm, helping her regain control.

Tears flooded Lucinda’s eyes as she whispered, “Rylee, my dear!”

Rylee flinched, shaking with fear. “Please … don’t hit me anymore… I beg you

“It’s me, your mother. I’m here to save you!” Lucinda said softly.

Rylee’s shaking slowed as the shock began to lift.

She wiped the blood from her eyes with trembling hands and looked up at her mother.

Her face was a mixture of disbelief and fragile hope.

“Mom? Is it really you?” she asked, afraid that this was all just her imagination.

Lucinda pulled Rylee close, holding her tightly. “Yes, my sweet Rylee, it’s really me. You don’t need to be scared anymore,

Kylee, still struggling to believe it, suddenly bit down on her own arm, as if trying to convince herself that the world wasn’t a nightmare.

The sharp pain brought her back to reality, and she stared at her mother, tears streaming down her face.

“Mom! It’s really you! I thought I’d never see you again she cried, her sobs uncontrollable.

When Rylee had been scared or hurt, Lucinda was always there to comfort her, offering safety in her mother’s embrace.

In Lucinda’s warm embrace, she felt like she was truly safe.

“Rylee, everything will be alright. The worst is behind us now.”

Rylee’s cries grew louder. “Mom, it’s all over for us! Dad’s dying… Travis, Madelyn, and Joshua … they’re gone!

“Mom, what’s left for us? Our family is done for!” she cried, her voice raw with sorrow.

Lucinda’s voice was firm, her hands gripping her daughter’s shoulders. “Rylee, your father is going to recover soon. And Joshua was rescued by Master Ramsey. He’s on his way to Plemouth now.”

Rylee froze, her eyes wide, barely able to believe what she was hearing. “Mom, is that really true? Or are you just trying to comfort me?”

Lucinda wiped the blood and tears from Rylee’s face. “I’m not lying, Rylee. Our family isn’t lost. Master Ramsey came in time to save us.”

“Master Ramsey? Who’s that?” Rylee’s voice was weak and confused.

Lucinda realized that the name meant nothing to her daughter, so she decided to explain only what was necessary for now.

“Master Ramsey is the grandson of Dragon Lord, the leader of Dragon Palace.”

Rylee’s confusion deepened. “The grandson of Dragon Lord? Someone that important came to save us?”

Lucinda gently stroked Rylee’s tangled hair. “Rylee, your father is one of the Twelve Great Warriors of Dragon Soul in Dragon Palace. He’s a high–ranking officer, a national hero.

“Twenty years ago, after the Dragon Manor incident, your father and I came to Plemouth.

“We hid our true identities to investigate the mysteries of Dragon Manor. No one here knows that your father is a senior military officer.”

Rylee’s mind spun. The story seemed more like a fable than anything real. It didn’t make sense to her.
