Chapter 163 Breakdown

Jiang Yue leaned at the door while trying to compose herself.

She clenched her fists as she tried to calm her shaking hands.

Of course she would be shaking. It was the first time that she killed someone.

And she was somehow sure that it won't be the last.

Did she regret it?

She couldn't tell. Not until her raging nerves calmed down and let her think about it.

"Hey,are you alright?" She heard Zhao Feiyan's voice from her right.

She was currently at one of the Fu Family villa's basement.

She bit her lips one last time before looking at Zhao Feiyan and giving her a smile. "Of course."

She should be. She should be alright. In fact, she should be elated, happy, satisfied.

That's right. She just killed the person who had hurt her grandfather and cousin. She should be celebrating.

"Let's go." Zhao Feiyan just stared at Jiang Yue before walking beside her. Jiang Yue was lying.

She knew that feeling. That was what she felt when she had killed for the first time.

The duo went to the patio of the villa, where Zhao Feiyan gave Jiang Yue a cup of tea.

"Lemon balm." Zhao Feiyan said as she took her seat across Jiang Yue. "It will make you relax."

Jiang Yue did not say anything before she unceremoniously gulped down the tea. "Thank you."

"Feeling any better?"

"Yeah... a lot better." Jiang Yue answered.

Another lie.

She did not feel any better. She actually felt worse.

Now, that she had the time to sit down and think about what she had done, Jiang Yue found it... unbelievable.

She just tortured and killed someone. A living human being with a beating heart!

She knew that she should feel repulsed. After all, she was a healthy human being with no psychotic tendencies.

But she was not. She felt worse, however she also felt as if a burst of laughter was building up from her belly. As if... she wanted to laugh so hard?

It seemed that killing didn't disgusted her. In fact, she actually quite liked it.

Jiang Yue shook her head and closed her eyes.

What was happening to her? Why had she felt so much... bloodlust?

Was she having some sort of psychotic breakdown?

That would be impossible, right?

She remembered someone told her before that psychosis was in the genes. It was inherited and was being passed down to family members.

And no one was like that from her family.

"I remember the first time I killed someone, I had to vomit for hours." Zhao Feiyan said. "I would say you were able to handle it better than me."

Then Zhao Feiyan cupped Jiang Yue's hands. "Listen, this is not your fault. We are living in a very cruel world and sometimes we need to adapt, learn to act according to the environment that we live in. However, no matter what you do, always remember that we are here for you. Fu Jin and the whole Fu Family will be there for you. Your grandfather, uncle and Minghua will always stand beside you. Always remember that."

Jiang Yue stared at the beautiful woman in front of her. Madam Fu a strong, kind, cruel, loving woman.

Would she be able to grow and become like her in the future?

"I heard that your grandfather had already arrived at the hospital. Also, your cousin had already woken up." Zhao Feiyan added.

"Really? I thought... how long was I inside the room?" She asked. The doctor told her that her cousin would wake up in twenty-four hours.

"Almost twenty-four hours. To be exact, nineteen hours."

"I... I forgot about the time..."

"Don't worry about it. It happens sometimes. Go take a rest first. It's still dawn. We will go to the hospital once you wake up. Your cousin is waiting for you."

"We can just go now... I am fine. I don't need to rest. " Jiang Yue answered before getting up. She wanted to see her grandfather and Wang Minghua.

"Well... I don't think they will like the way you look right now."

Zhao Feiyan's words instantly made Jiang Yue freeze. She must have looked like she just came out of hell.

When was even the last time that she had some sleep?

She was so immersed in her revenge that she had even forgot the time.

Jiang Yue let out a long sigh. "You're right, I need to take some rest."

"Let's go, I will accompany you to your room." Zhao Feiyan said.

Zhao Feiyan brought her into one of the guest rooms of the villa.

It was just a simple beige room. With minimal decorations and cozy vibe. Her type of room.

After taking a shower, Jiang Yue laid in the bed to rest.

However, before she closed her eyes, she couldn't help but wonder why did it seem that she enjoyed killing Wu Ziliang.

Was that normal?

Jiang Yue let out a long sigh as she pulled the sheets to cover her body.

No matter how much she thought about it, she couldn't seem to find the reason behind that.

Was it really just her momentarily rage against that woman? Or was it something else?
