Edison didn’t get angry. “I wouldn’t treat you so roughly. But it’s not easy for you to leave here,” he said firmly. “I’ve planned for a long time to get you. This is a cage I built to keep you.”

“You must be hungry now. I’ll go prepare some food for you.” Then Edison went out.

The chains binding her reached just to the window. Shirley walked over. She pulled back the curtain and felt a sea breeze blowing. This house was backed by the sea and very tall. Jumping from here, the chance of survival was slim.

Shirley’s eyes turned colder. It wasn’t that easy for Edison to trap her; he underestimated her. There was nothing extra in the room, but it was easy to find some metal wires.

Edison was making Shirley’s favorite food at this time. He would let Shirley know that although it was perverted to keep her by his side this way, he loved her.

However, at this moment, the alarm went off. In an instant, Edison’s expression turned cold. He thought Shirley was too disobedient, trying to escape just after waking up. This was a cage he specially built for Shirley; she wouldn’t escape so easily.

Shirley was fiddling with a copper wire in the keyholes of the handcuffs and foot cuffs. After a few minutes, the chains opened.

With her hands and feet free, she didn’t think of escaping in an ordinary way. So Shirley took down the curtain again.

Edison came into the room and saw Shirley standing on the windowsill. At first, Edison thought the window offered a beautiful view, so he didn’t install a guardrail. Now he regretted it.

“Your Highness, that’s too dangerous,” he said. If she jumped from here, she might not survive. He hadn’t thought Shirley’s pride would be so strong. Besides, Shirley’s body was very weak now, and she was injured.

Shirley wasn’t sure if she could survive the jump, but she’d rather risk her life than be imprisoned here.

She belonged to Xyperia and only wanted to marry a man she was compatible with. Her disgust for Edison drove her to escape every moment. So Shirley jumped without hesitation.

Edison’s eyes widened when he saw this. His perverted look was chilling. He thought, ‘Your Highness, even if you die, I want you to die by my side.’

However, he thought Shirley’s jump wasn’t so bad. This way, he could find her and seal the entire castle tightly. No trace of light would ever reach her again. He wanted Shirley to see no one but him.

But at this moment, it started to rain. The sea was extremely rough due to the storm.

When Shirley jumped, she felt the cold rain hitting her face. She thought she was unlucky.

The curtain was instantly soaked by the rain and became useless halfway down. She fell into the water and lost consciousness again.

A fishing boat was moving through the heavy rain. It seemed someone spotted something floating in the sea. The fishermen picked up binoculars and saw it was a person. Then they sent out a lifeboat to rescue that person.

The fishing boat docked at dawn. The fishermen pooled some money and sent the rescued person to the town hospital.

About three days later, Shirley woke up. The nurse turned around and was immediately captivated by her handsome eyes. Shirley looked very handsome, but she was a woman. “You’re finally awake,” the nurse said.

Shirley was still a little dazed when she woke up. Touching the bandage on her head, she asked, “Where is this place?”

The nurse replied, “This is Aider’s hospital. You were rescued by some fishermen at sea. Do you remember?”

Shirley shook her head, frowning. “I don’t remember.”

“You should inform your relatives or friends to pick you up. After all, you don’t look like you’re from here,” the nurse said.

However, Shirley couldn’t remember anything, not even who she was. “I’m sorry, I think I have amnesia. I can’t remember anything.”

The nurse gasped. But it was possible that this handsome woman had hit her head at sea and lost her memory. She said, “I’ll call the doctor for you again.”

Shirley thanked her.

The nurse said, “It’s okay. Rest a bit more.”

Seeing Shirley’s faint smile, the nurse felt her heart melt. She had never seen a woman more handsome than the queen.

But the nurse realized this woman looked like the queen, except the queen’s features weren’t so deep and sharp, and the woman in front of her didn’t have the queen’s curvy figure.

The queen’s curvy figure even fascinated women. To this day, no man in the Kingdom of Xyperia had been able to attract the queen.

Shirley followed the nurse’s advice and continued to rest. She had been lying down for three days but was still weak. What’s more, she was covered in wounds, and her leg would take at least a month to heal.

The doctor soon came, asked Shirley some questions, and examined her brain. He found there was indeed a blood clot pressing on her nerves, causing amnesia. Once the clot dissipated, her memory would gradually return, but it would take some time.

During the examination, the fisherman who had rescued her came again. This honest and simple fisherman heard that Shirley had amnesia and paid her medical bills. People in this town weren’t short of money because they fished every day.

Now, the Kingdom of Xyperia had sacrificed countless resources because of that supreme-tier mutant, and military casualties were increasing every day. Even so, the supreme-tier mutant hadn’t been killed.

What’s more, other mutants were causing damage in other border cities, so the country was recruiting soldiers everywhere.

“Rest well. I’ll pay all your medical bills during this period,” the fisherman said. Shirley thanked the fisherman, but she didn’t like owing others. So once she recovered, she would pay him back no matter what.

Over the next month, Shirley was recovering. She got better quickly. The first thing she did after being discharged was to start paying back the fisherman. Then she saw a recruitment notice. When she saw the salary was very generous, she signed up without hesitation.
