Although Austin could not see the person's face, he knew who it was by the crisp sound of her high heels.
When he looked up, he could only see a vague outline slowly approaching him with a chilly demeanor.
Rhea wore stilettos, and her sharp heels clacked against the cold, stone floor.
Once in front of Austin, she slowly squatted with a bottle of water and a piece of bread.
Without a word, Rhea began to study him from head to toe.
When she noticed the cloth tied around his injured leg, she laughed.
"I almost forgot that you can treat yourself.Did you manage to get the bullet out?"
Her laughter, ringing in the dark room, sounded depressing to the ears.
"I never thought that a valedictorian from the world's most famous medical school would do such a vicious thing,"

"All right, not bad.Since you can still snap back like this means you aren't hungry or thirsty!"
Rhea nodded.She wasn't moved as she weighed the things in her hands.
"It seems like I've overstepped.You don't need these!"
Austin stared at the bread and water in her hand without saying a word and gulped unconsciously.
He was starved and dehydrated.It would be hard to live another day without a drop of water.
However, there was no way he would beg Rhea for food.
The internal conflicts were loud in his head, but he ultimately gritted his teeth and kept his mouth shut.
"l see!"
Rhea stood up, a little surprised.
"I didn't expect you to be so stubborn.I've belittled you.Letsee how long you can last!"
After taking a few steps, she stopped and looked back.
"Oh, right. almost forgot to tell you.The boss doesn't care about your little experiments; it was just a cover-up.Our project is almost
ready.
By then, you'll get to see the world change!
"Oh, no! You might not be able to.Without food and water, you might not live that long.What a pity!"
She pouted and shook her head with a forlorn expression.
Although she seemed to pity Austin, she had no intention of walking over and giving him the food.It was all just an act.
"Rhea Moore!" Austin suddenly yelled.
Rhea turned back smilingly.
"Are you giving up? Maybe if you beg me, I'll leave a little for you.That way, you might live a few more days."

"Your cousin's poisoning.Was it you?"
Austin had no plans to beg her for food.Instead, he began to question her.
Rhea’s smile froze as she narrowed her eyes at him.
"That's none of your business!"
That was an answer on its own.
"So, it was you! You're brutal! How can you do that to your own cousin? She has suffered from that poisoning for at least ten
years.The poison you've been feeding her tortures her yet keeps her alive.You're evil! People like you shouldn't deserve to study
medicine!"
Austin scorned.
"What do you know??!"
Austin’s words hit a nerve as Rhea began to yell, "Sacrifices have to be made for science! Don't we always test our experiments on
lab rats?! What's the difference between testing it on humans? You're being a hypocrite!"
