Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 884:

“You maniac!” Marissa burst out, her voice thick with outrage. “How could you? You were once a renowned doctor, bound by the oath to save lives, not to murder the innocent. Look at all these girls—they were young, likely the pride of their families and possibly even rare talents. Did you never question your own conscience after you took their lives?”

Q responded with a chilling laugh. “As long as it brought some semblance of happiness to my daughter, what does it matter if I’m branded a maniac? This world has never been kind to me. Why should I show it any kindness?”

Overwhelmed by a sense of powerlessness, Marissa closed her eyes. She realized that Q’s mind had spiraled into complete madness, and no amount of reasoning or anger would change his twisted perspective. There was little point in saying more. After regaining her composure, Marissa opened her eyes and said, “I want to see Tiffany.”

Q, however, refused to acknowledge her request and instead offered an even more disturbing response. “Marissa, I’ve also prepared a crystal coffin for you,” Q announced.

Marissa’s eyes widened in shock before narrowing into a glare. “What do you mean?”

With a faint smile, Q raised his hand, gesturing toward the far left corner of the inner chamber where a pristine, vacant crystal coffin stood. “That’s your crystal coffin,” he declared, his smirk taking on a malevolent twist.

“Marissa, I’ve shown more leniency than I have with others because I truly admire you—admire your renown as the legendary doctor, Riss—and, more importantly, your medical skills. However, my admiration for your medical skills doesn’t mean I will be endlessly tolerant of you. The only person I ever showed endless tolerance to was my daughter. For everyone else, my tolerance has its limits. Now that you are aboard my ship, your life and your future are under my control. You must commit fully to supporting my research. If my plans succeed, we will both bask in the glory. I will fulfill all the promises I made to you. But if we fail within my lifetime, be assured, you will perish before I do.”

He gestured once more towards the vacant crystal coffin. “Before my life ends, I intend to end yours and lay you in this coffin so you may join my daughter in the afterlife.”

Marissa absorbed his unhinged words with calmness. His insanity and depravity no longer shocked her. After a brief pause, she responded calmly, “I want to see Tiffany.”

“Very well,” Q said. “If I’m to expect your full commitment to my endeavors, it’s only fair to provide you with some semblance of hope. I will take you to Tiffany now. However, I need to clarify one thing first.”

Q paused, lifting his gaze to lock eyes with Marissa. “Tiffany will stay on this ship. She won’t depart until our research pays off.”noveldrama

Marissa’s face darkened instantly, her tone sharpening. “You’ve broken your word.”

“Indeed, I have,” Q admitted unabashedly. “I promised that if you joined me on my ship, I would allow Tiffany to return to Blebert. I’ve changed my mind.”

“Why?” Marissa demanded, her anger palpable
