Chapter 37 A Dangerous Bargain
The slip only held four blunt, cold words, “What do you want p>
Finished
Felix pursed his lips and mumbled bitterly, “You hand out extra candy to others. But all I get is ‘What do you want p>
He whined the complaint one second, then micked the sharp tone from the note the next.
Lyra cracked a smile at the absurd contrast.
When she met Felix’s wounded gaze, she quickly schooled her features again.
Felix leveled an accusation at her. “I’m filing a complaint. You’re playing favorites and mistreating
inmates p>
Lyra felt as if a massive burden had crashed down out of nowhere.
She pulled the last remaining candy from her pocket and shook it without expression.
Felix’s demeanor shifted instantly.
He grinned, oozing over-the-top charm. “I wouldn’t mind a little mistreatment p>
His gaze never left the candy as he spoke.
Lyra had originally planned to toss it hard against his head.
But seeing him like this, she found it funny and let it go.
She set the candy on the small ledge by the window.
Felix reached out to grab her hand again, yet Lyra pulled away fast.
Disappointment flickered across his face, but he brightened once he got hold of the candy and brushed it gently against his cheek.
A rapturous expression crossed his features. “Mmm… it carries your scent, sweet and warm p>
Zap.
At the faint hum of a stun gun, he stepped sharply backward.
Lyra did not know whether to laugh or be exasperated by his quick reflexes.
Safely out of the stun gun’s range, Felix deliberately slipped back into his unhinged rambling.
“Candy from you must sink straight into my heart. I wish I could carve a tiny hollow inside my chest to tuck it away, let it turn every drop of my blood sweet p>
Lyra tossed another folded note through the window with a blank face.

Go ahead and carve that hollow. Show me p>
Felix’s eyes lit up as if he stumbled onto a wonderful surprise. He stared at her fervently.
“Does that mean you want me to carry your mark forever p>
Lyra wrote, “I don’t. I only want to see if you mean what you say p>
Finished
The man was always erratic. If she had proof he was just running his mouth, perhaps he would calm down.
Felix gazed deep into her eyes, bright and smiling.
Before Lyra’s eyes, he tore open the front of his uniform, exposing a broad, pale, muscular chest.
She noticed countless tangled scars covering his torso.
Some were old, faded deep marks; others were fresh, pink, newly healed flesh.
Her brows drew together. In the next instant, she watched Felix pull a toothbrush out of nowhere.
He lifted his arm high and drove the hard end straight toward his heart without hesitation.
Lyra’s face drained of color.
Her heart skipped a beat. Without thinking, she lunged forward to stop him.
But Felix had retreated far enough to evade the stun gun earlier, out of her reach.
Lyra slammed her palms against the cell door, rigid with alarm.
Felix stood inside, watching her with a lazy smile.
Only half the toothbrush stuck out of his chest. Slowly, thin streams of blood trickled down his skin, streaking dark red across his uniform.
The sight made Lyra’s mind go completely blank.
She’d thought he only enjoyed crude verbal teasing.
She never imagined he was reckless enough to risk his own life, spiraling into self-harm mid-conversation.
More vivid blood seeped from the wound, and Lyra’s hands began to shake.
She fumbled for her pager, ready to call Jessa.
Felix watched her terrified, pale features with undisguised delight and smiled casually.
He spoke before she could summon help. “Don’t call anyone p>
Lysa froze, staring at him in shock.
Blood kept flowing from his chest, yet he acted as if he felt no pain at all.

“If you get staff over here, I’ll yank this out,” Felix warned.
Lyra stared at him in disbelief,
What exactly was he trying to do? Did he truly want to die?
Felix tilted his lips upward. “Come inside
Lyra stiffened, then shook her head at once.
Finished
Not long ago, Hadrien had announced to all personnel that attendants were forbidden from entering Sentinel cells without authorization.
Stepping inside would be a direct violation of the rules.
Seeing her refusal, Felix shifted his grip, preparing to pull the toothbrush free. Blood flowed even more violently with his movement.
Lyra panicked, hammering the door to stop him.
Felix looked back at her, triumphant. “Are you coming in p>
Though framed as a question, his eyes burned with unshakable certainty.
He was confident she would give in.
Lyra’s brows crumpled into a tight frown.
His crazed actions rattled her to the core.
She never should have joked with him.
She had no idea Felix would act on his wild threats.
As she hesitated, blood continued pooling on the floor beneath his feet.
Lyra glanced toward the outer hallway, then pulled out her keyring. She unlocked the heavy cell door and stepped inside without turning back.
The metal door creaked slowly open. Felix’s smile widened.
When Lyra’s figure stood fully before him, wild ecstasy blazed in his eyes.
He looked as thrilled as a dragon discovering a treasure chest rolling straight toward him.
“Come closer p>
Lyra lingered anxiously by the threshold, unwilling to advance further.
Felix beckoned her forward with a smile.
She bit her lip nervously, glancing at his bleeding chest, then back to his face, and took one small step
