Chapter 616 You Can’t Leave Anymore
“You—” Sophie frowned, probably knowing that this kind of misguided person would not stand on her
side, so she spat out, “Let’s see,” and walked away angrily.
After her call ended, Elise came back just in time to see the two in a bad mood. Mica’s expression was
quite dark.
Elise walked over and asked in concern, “Sophie didn’t do anything to you, did she?”
“Her target isn’t me; it’s you.” Mica was upset on her behalf. “Though I don’t know what happened
between the both of you before, I think that since Sophie would badmouth you behind your back, she’ll
definitely do something else secretly. Elise, you gotta watch your back from now on.”
Elise pursed her lips and smiled lightly. “Sophie must’ve made me seem heinous. Even so, do you still
want to be friends with me?”
“I’m an adult. I can judge what kind of person you are for myself. If I have to understand my friends from
what other people say, then maybe I wouldn’t be someone worth being a friend with. Even though I’m
kinda antisocial, I don’t think that it’s to the extent where I can’t form my own opinions,” Mica said calmly.
Elise voluntarily wrapped her arm around Mica’s and clung to her like they were good friends. “Then I’ll
be in your care in the future.”
Who didn’t like to hang out around beautiful women? Mica was flattered to be friends with a celebrity like
Elise. Her face instantly flushed red, and she was too shy to say anything in reply. However, because

Elise openly acted close with her, Mica became much more cheerful during practice. She was no longer
hiding in the corner alone, but took the initiative to drag Elise to interact with the other teams.

As the night gradually darkened, Edwin drove into the psychiatric hospital. As it was currently the time
when the patients were most excited, he could hear their eerie screams from all sides of the hallway as
he walked.
Besides, it was already past visiting time and it was also late at night, so except for a few nurses and
doctors on duty, there were no other outsiders in the hospital. Edwin made his way to Celina’s ward
familiarly, then pushed the door and walked in.
The lights were turned off in the ward, and Celina was lying in bed, staring blankly at the dark ceiling.
The nurse had injected her with a tranquilizer not long ago, and although the effect was almost gone
now, she didn’t have the strength to struggle anymore. In a daze, she heard footsteps approaching her.
When she turned her head and saw Edwin’s rough and bumpy face, her face became full of disgust, just
like every time she saw him after they got married.
Celina suddenly broke through the effect of the medicine and sat up from the bed. “I told you, I don’t
want to see you anymore. If you show up in front of me again, I’ll ask my dad to break your leg. You think
I’m joking, don’t you? If you want me to lend money to some trash like you, forget it. When Dad comes
next time, I’ll tell him about this. Let’s see how you can remain in the Saunders Family!”
If it were before, Edwin would’ve felt devastated as though his heart twisted like a knife, but today, he
was unfazed, and there was even a faint smile at the corner of his mouth. With his back facing against
the light, his whole face looked very terrifying. Celina was overcome with anxiety, and she couldn’t help
but turn her head away and clutched her blanket tightly.
“If you don’t leave, I’m gonna call for help.” Celina lowered her voice, not wanting to irritate him.
“Are you afraid, Nana?” The corners of Edwin’s mouth lifted, and he whispered softly as though he were
soothing a child, “Don’t be afraid. I’m not here to borrow money from you. I’m here this time to do one
last thing for you and free you from this place.”
The psychiatric hospital was like hell on earth, and Celina had wanted to leave a long time ago. Her eyes
lit up at his words, but the moment she looked up at Edwin, she became wary again. “Since when were
you this kind?”
“You’re right. I was unwilling at first.” Edwin sighed. “But now I’m debt-ridden, and after all, I am not
worthy of you. Instead of watching you being tortured here, it’s better to let you out. If you’re doing well, I
won’t have to worry anymore, and I can fully let you go.”
Agitated, Celina stood up from the bed. “Great! Get me out of here now!”
“Yes, of course…” Edwin took out the knife that he had prepared a long time ago and sliced the
straitjacket on her body.
Immediately after Celina’s hands and feet were freed, she got out of bed and stretched her limbs
excitedly, finally smiling in joy.
She completely let down her guard and said, “Edwin, let’s forget everything bad that happened between
us. In fact, I don’t really hate you. It’s just that we aren’t suitable for each other as husband and wife. Do
you understand what I mean?”
“I do.” Edwin nodded faintly. In the dark, his dark eyes flashed evilly. “I should have understood earlier.”
“Yeah, if you did, there would be no need to blow things up this much.” Celina was immersed in the
excitement of being free. “But you really thought I was out of my mind. Now that it’s all right and we’ve
forgiven each other, as long as I have you testifying for me, Daddy won’t insist on locking me up here.
When I get home, I will definitely ask Daddy to give you some money to pay off your debts.”

“Oh yes, he will,” Edwin said meaningfully. He then urged, “The nurse will be here to make her rounds
soon. Let’s hurry and leave so that we won’t be discovered.”
“Okay!” Celina put on her shoes, and followed Edwin out of the psychiatric hospital.
Before getting in the car, she was even thinking about how to find Elise to teach her a lesson. If Elise
hadn’t provoked her again and again, she wouldn’t have reached her breaking point and temporarily lost
control of herself. David had to put her in a mental hospital as a last resort. For one, she had to avoid
criminal punishment, and the other reason was that he genuinely got suspicious of her mental state. I
must prove that I’m not crazy!
Perhaps it was because she had been on edge at the hospital for too long, for she fell asleep as soon as
she got in the car. When she opened her eyes, she found that they were completely surrounded by the
wilderness. The road back to the Saunders Residence should’ve been brightly lit.
Celina swallowed nervously and turned to look at Edwin. “Edwin, aren’t we going home?”
Edwin smiled faintly and said in a soft voice, “You’re my wife. Your home should be wherever I live,
right?”
“Didn’t you say you were going to divorce me just now?” In an instant, Celina’s face fell, and she ordered
haughtily, “Stop the car and turn around. Take me home!”
Edwin was unfazed. A faint light shone into the car, illuminating his hideous and terrifying face. “You can’t
leave anymore.”
Celina finally realized that she had been tricked. She turned and was about to open the door and jump
out when Edwin quickly stepped on the brakes. The moment the car came to a stop, he yanked her back
to her seat and took out a drugged towel from his pocket, covering her mouth and nose. In just ten
seconds, Celina stopped struggling.
