A Marriage So Lethal (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 41

After walking a long way out past the main gate, Se Ah clung to the wall of a neighbor’s house. Her head spun in circles and her stomach churned.

She kept dry-heaving until she barely managed to calm herself down.

She shoved both hands into her coat pockets and trudged slowly toward the subway station.
