Chapter 973
There was an aromatherapy stone on the basin. Johanna took it and smashed it onto the mirror forcefully. The
mirror broke into pieces from the force, and shards of glasses fell to the ground noisily.
Picking up a shard of glass, she slit it across her wrist.
Pain flared up her wrist and spread to her entire body. She trembled all over as blood splattered everywhere.
Her body swayed and she ended up collapsing to the ground.
She stared at the blood flowing out of her wrist as her vision blurred. Slowly, she calmed down and felt like she was
about to be freed from this torturous nightmare.
Soon, Asel's sobbing face emerged in her blurry line of sight, crying for her mother.
Timothy was doing his best to calm the girl down to no avail. “Asel, be a good girl. Mommy will be back in a few
days. Stop crying, all right?”

frantically, so I cannot die.
Johanna wanted to return to her daughter so badly that her survival instincts kicked in. She held onto the basin and
got to her feet. Grabbing a towel, she wrapped it around her wound tightly.
Right then, a housekeeper, who showed up in the bedroom to see if Johanna was up, came to the bathroom when
she found the bedroom empty.
The housekeeper was shocked to see the mess in the bathroom. Instead of losing her cool, she pressed the service
bell on the wall so others could come and clean the mess up.
“I broke the mirror accidentally and hurt my wrist,” Johanna explained calmly in fluent Ustranasion.
The housekeepers Zephyr hired were brilliant. They could speak their native language as well as Ustranasion, so the
housekeeper knew what Johanna meant.
She helped Johanna out of the bathroom.
Soon, around five housekeepers hurried into the bedroom. A few went to clean up the mess in the bathroom while
one came to Johanna with an emergency kit in her hand.
The housekeeper removed the towel around Johanna's wound.
Fortunately, Johanna was weak and the cut wasn't deep. The bleeding had stopped, so the housekeeper disinfected
the wound and applied some medicine on it.
Johanna asked, “What is your master's name?”
The housekeeper who was dressing her wound said nothing.
The first housekeeper who came in earlier parted her lips and said, “Ms. Joule, I'm Anne, the staff manager of the
castle. I'll be in charge of your meals from today onward. You haven't eaten for days. What would you like for
dinner?”
From today onward? Looks like the beast is planning to keep me imprisoned here.
Johanna asked, “Where is he? Will he be back for dinner?”
“Mr. Zephyr went out to get something done. We don't know when he'll be back,” Anne responded. “Mr. Zephyr said
you can let us know whatever you need.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe housekeeper didn't spill anything, and Johanna knew she couldn't pry any information from her lips. “I'd like fish
chowder for dinner.”
“Sure.” Anne gave her a bow.
After the housekeepers finished bandaging Johanna's wound, Anne told them to prepare dinner. She then brought
Johanna to the walk-in closet.
The gigantic walk-in closet was full of luxurious items of the latest season. The shoes and bags were mostly limited
edition items. There were also five drawers full of jewelry, ranging from exquisite jewelry meant for special
occasions and jewelry for daily use.
Johanna wasn't interested in any of the items. She picked a long dress that ended at her ankles and changed into it.
After they walked out of the bedroom, Johanna realized that the corridor was more extensive than she initially
expected. A long, tailor-made carpet stretched ahead under her feet, and various expensive paintings hung on the
wall on both sides of the corridor.
It seemed that she was in an ancient Epean castle.
Johanna initially assumed she could figure out the surroundings and find a chance to knock Anne unconscious
before fleeing the place. Alas, she belatedly realized her plan was too far-fetched.
It took them at least six minutes to walk past the corridor and make it to the first floor.
