章 338: Ryan, open the door!

Ryan took two steps back, his back pressing against the sink, watching Alice warily.

"Alice, Nella might be really dangerous. We need something to defend ourselves."

She handed Ryan a knife.

Ryan took the knife, gripping it tightly. "Alice, did you ever have a twin sister?"

Alice's expression shifted for a brief moment.

Her eyes flickered. "Ryan, who told you that?"

Ryan felt a sinking feeling in his chest. "Alice, why didn't you tell me before?"

Alice stared at Ryan in silence.

Ryan couldn't shake the feeling that she was studying his reaction.

After a long pause, Alice let out a soft sigh. "Ryan, I never wanted to tell you about this. It's a scar I've carried for a long time."

"My sister... she was a psychopath. She did a lot of crazy, cruel things."

"But on the night of the fire, she saved me. She shielded me with her own body. And she... she ended up as a charred corpse."
