Scarlett nodded and walked over to the sofa. Nina placed a cup of freshly brewed tea on the table beside her.
Scarlett lifted the cup, feeling the warmth, and watched the clear tea with a few floating petals. It had been a long tsince she had experienced such simple pleasures. Despite her love for beauty and caring for her appearance, her life had been rough and unsophisticated.
She took a sip, savoring the delicate flavor. "What kind of tea is this?" "Jasmine tea," Nina replied.
"It's delicious," Scarlett said. "The fragrance lingers." "If you like it, you can take swith you," Nina offered generously. It was just a common tea, but she was happy to share.
Scarlett drank a few more sips before putting the cup down.
"The man you mentioned, Sawyer, was he the one by the bridge that day?" Nina asked. "Is he the one who poisoned me? Why use such a method to kill me?" Scarlett looked intently at Nina.

"But I couldn't follow that rule," Scarlett continued. "So, I live on the fringes of the organization. They exploit me, and my death would mean nothing to anyone." "There were many people locked in that dark room, but you managed to escape," Scarlett said, looking at Nina. "I really envy you. You get to live a normal life." Nina had no memory of those past events. She only remembered being kidnapped once. Had her memory really been altered? "And the others?" Nina asked.
"They're dead!" Scarlett said.
Her words hit Nina like a stone, weighing heavily on her heart Nima's hands shook slightly. "Were they all En.
