He wasted no time preparing to leave the house, though he'd underestimated how badly the lack of food had affected him.As he descended the stairs, his knees suddenly buckled. He grabbed the railing, barely managing to steady himself before tumbling down the remaining steps.He gritted his teeth and forced himself to continue.He'd never imagined that something as simple as going without food could reduce him to such a state. It was infuriating, but there was little he could do about it for now. He would have to strengthen this body.Fortunately, he managed to leave without encountering his wife or either of his in-laws again. After the insults he'd endured that morning, he had no desire to spend another minute listening to them.His first stop was a nearby restaurant, where he ordered an enormous meal.The waiter watched in bewilderment as Noah devoured the food, barely pausing between mouthfuls. When he finished, he called the waiter over and ordered more.He kept eating until the g

Noah woke up the next morning to the angry rumbling of his stomach. He hadn't eaten since the previous day, and finding food was now his highest priority. With hunger gnawing at his insides and his head feeling unusually light, he dragged himself out of bed and headed downstairs.It was still early, and his in-laws hadn't emerged from their rooms. Taking advantage of their absence, he slipped into the kitchen as quietly as possible.The kitchen and refrigerator were stocked with food, but he knew his mother-in-law wouldn't take kindly to him touching anything. Rather than risk an argument over a proper meal, he settled for a loaf of bread.He only needed enough to ease his hunger. His legs were already unsteady, and the dizziness was becoming difficult to ignore.He reached for the bread and turned around, only to freeze.His mother-in-law stood directly in front of him, her hands planted firmly on her hips. The disgust on her face was unmistakable, and she regarded him as though he'd

A bare electrical wire had been attached to the showerhead's body.Noah stared at the exposed wire in disbelief.Who would deliberately attach an exposed electrical wire to a showerhead? It made no sense unless someone had intended to harm him.Someone had clearly plotted against him.But who?From what he knew about Jason's life, many people disliked the man. His weak personality had made him an easy target for ridicule and mistreatment, and plenty of people wouldn't hesitate to make his life miserable.However, no one had attempted to kill him before, at least not until his encounter with Brian. Even so, Noah doubted Brian was the type of person to resort to such dirty tricks.For now, he decided to keep the matter in mind rather than jump to conclusions.He carefully removed the exposed wire, reassembled the showerhead, and continued bathing.After finishing, he dried himself, got dressed, and returned to his room. He sat on the bed, his thoughts returning to the mysterious pendant

He looked around for something he could use as a weapon, but there was nothing within reach. With no other choice, he pushed himself off the ground and ran toward one of the old cars parked nearby.The zombie chased after him, its body swaying as it stumbled forward in an unnatural manner. Despite its awkward movements, it was surprisingly fast, quickly closing the distance between them.When he reached the car, he punched one of the broken windows. Fortunately, the vehicle was old, and the remaining glass came loose without much difficulty. He grabbed a jagged piece, climbed into the car, and slammed the door shut behind him.The zombie immediately reached through the broken window, attempting to force its way inside.Noah began stabbing it with the piece of glass, repeatedly aiming for its forehead. Yet the creature continued trying to crawl into the car, seemingly indifferent to the wounds he inflicted.Its inability to feel pain didn't make it indestructible, however. After severa

After Emmanuella left, Mrs. Richard walked over to her husband, who was still seated in the sitting room, and complained bitterly about what had happened.Mr. Richard smiled and patted the space beside him.“Don't worry too much, my wife. I've already made some arrangements.”A mysterious smile spread across his face.His wife recognized that expression immediately. Whenever her husband was plotting something particularly wicked, he wore that same smile.Her frustration vanished, replaced by excitement.“Tell me what you've planned, my husband!” she urged.Mr. Richard glanced around the sitting room. Although nobody else was present, he remained cautious. He leaned closer to his wife and whispered something into her ear.Her eyes lit up.*******When Noah reached Jason's room, he retrieved some clothes from the wardrobe and headed straight for the bathroom. He hadn't showered in a long time, and he desperately needed one.As he walked, he began assessing the condition of his current b

Frank helped Jason into the car.“Thank you, man,” Jason said.“I’ll call you later,” he promised.“All right. Take care of yourself. I’ll make sure to check up on you, too, all right?” Frank replied.He helped Jason close the car door before turning around, only to find himself alone with Emmanuella.She glared at him, her eyes burning with indignation.“What are you even doing here? I told you to stay away from my husband! We don't want you anywhere near us. Do you think he hasn't told me all the terrible advice you've been giving him? This is the last time I want to see you anywhere near Jason.”With that, she opened the driver's door and got into the car.Noah had overheard their entire conversation. He stared in disbelief.This Jason is really something else, he thought. He even told his wife about all this?It was true that he wasn't the same person anymore, but they still shared the same body. Knowing that Jason had told his wife about Frank's advice filled Noah with embarrassm
