Crystal's POV:

Lucy choked on the water. She coughed and hacked as she struggled.

When she was about to suffocate, I grabbed her hair and yanked her out of the water. "You're still not gonna tell me where my son is?"

Lucy coughed for several times. Her eyes were half closed, and her hair was dripping and clinging to her cheeks. But even the feeling of death did not soften Lucy at all. She still refused to tell me where my son was. "I don't know what you are talking about. If you want to kill me, just do it."

Furious, I said coldly, "Aren't you afraid of death?"

Lucy shrieked with laughter and her body trembled violently. Then she opened her eyes wide and tried to glare at me. She looked like a beast captured by its prey. Even if she was about to die, she just wouldn't give in.

It was absurd. After so many years, Lucy still had not changed a bit. She would still deny her crimes even if all the evidence were laid out before her.

Lucy grabbed my hand and shook it twice. She clenched her teeth and snarled. "If you want to kill me, go ahead and do it. Stop threatening me. You're just wasting your time here because I don't know where your son is."

"You!" I grabbed her collar tightly as blood rushed to my fingers. "Don't push me to my limit!"

Lucy scoffed derisively, as if she thought I wouldn't dare to make a move. Her arrogance and cynicism shone through her gaze.

Meanwhile, the she-wolf had stopped pounding on the door. I had no idea if she had gone to get help or had simply given up. Now, only the sound of water and our confrontation could be heard in the bathroom.

"Sylvia."

Lucy broke the silence again. She suddenly thought of something and said, "No, I should call you Crystal. Do you really believe that killing me will help you in any way? You should go look for your son instead of venting your anger on me."

"Are you still going to play dumb? You kidnapped my son. Only you have lived in that room, and only you know the secret passage!" I couldn't help but shout and shove Lucy under the water again.

Lucy struggled frantically, flapping her arms on the water. Most of the water in the bathtub spilled, causing my clothes to get wet as well.

At the thought that my son might be in danger, I couldn't keep calm anymore.

I pushed Lucy into the water and pulled her out, again and again.

Lucy quickly ran out of strength and couldn't struggle anymore, but she still kept her mouth shut. She was coughing and laughing with a smug as she laid on the ground next to me. "Poor you. You can't find your son even if you kill me. I guess you'll live in the pain of losing your son all your life. You deserve it!"

I gave a chilly chuckle, grabbed her by the collar, and threw her back into the water Then, as I was about to shove he into the water one more time, Luttered, "Lucy, don't you understand? If my son is gone, do you really think your son will be safe?"

Upon hearing my words, Lucy's face darkened. "What do you mean? If you dare to hurt Firman, I'll kill you!"

With a snort, I hurled her into the water. "Do you

think you can kill me?"

Lucy choked on the water and her face turned red. Even so, she still shouted, "Kill me if you have guts! You can't find your son, so you accused me of kidnapping him. You are just being ridiculous! Maybe your son is already dead!"

I was so angry that I pushed her harder, causing her to sank deeper into the water. This time, I didn't bother to count how many seconds had passed. The image of my son pleading for mercy came to me immediately. Soon, there was

nothing but a little, lifeless body.

A deafening silence filled the bathroom. It was as if I had stepped into a black hole, and what I saw before me was completely out of the ordinary. Then, Yana's voice pierced through the illusion. "Crystal, wake up! It's time to pull Lucy out of the water."

I blinked my eyes and came back to my senses. I could hear Lucy struggling again.

However, I just had no intention of pulling her out. I indifferently stood by as Lucy grew increasingly tired and was close to collapsing.
