Night Carved Paths Into Silence by Zyrel Ash 149
The two of them watched Madeleine go into a stall. They didn’t
speak, just exchanged glances, plotting something.
They were there to get revenge for Fiona.
One of them pointed to the cleaner in the corner, and the other
one immediately understood.
She tiptoed over, lifted her skirt, and kicked over the cleaner, a
sinister smile playing on her lips.
Just as she was about to leave the restroom, her elbow
accidentally hit a bottle of disinfectant on a shelf.
The disinfectant bottle fell to the floor with a sharp crash.
The strong smell of disinfectant instantly filled the air.
The two of them, feeling guilty, were startled and quickly
scurried out.
Madeleine heard the commotion from inside the stall and
frowned in confusion.

After she finished, just as she was about to come out, the door
of the next stall opened, followed by a loud thud.
A woman had slipped on the liquid on the floor and fallen with a
thud.
“Are you okay?!”
Madeleine opened her door and rushed over to help her up,
when she suddenly smelled the pungent odor.
This is…
She looked down at the liquid on the floor, and her eyes
widened.
It was chlorine gas, created by the mix of cleaner and
disinfectant!
“Quick, cover your nose.”
Madeleine covered her own mouth with one hand and tried to
help the woman up with the other.
She looked older, with some gray in her hair. It was hard to tell how bad the fall was, but her face was pale with pain.
But the woman suddenly clutched her chest in pain, her face

turning from pale to blue, and her breathing became rapid and
difficult.
“What’s happening?
Madeleine panicked. Even with the harmful chlorine gas, such a
short exposure shouldn’t cause this much damage.
She used all her strength to support the woman, trying to open
the door to get out.
But after pulling on the door twice, she realized it wouldn’t open
at all.
Madeleine gritted her teeth, looked around and saw a window,
then quickly stepped onto the sink to open it for air.
“Ngh… medicine… medicine…”
The woman was leaning against the wall, clutching her chest.
She looked like she was in agony, her face already turning from
pale to bluish.
“Don’t tell me you have asthma!
?”

The woman gave a pained nod, her body already giving way.
Madeleine’s heart pounded, and she quickly started pulling on
the door again.
But for some reason, the door wouldn’t budge, no matter how hard she pulled.
“Help!
Is anyone there!”
She banged hard on the door, turning her head to nervously
check on the woman.
I can’t worry about anything else right now, I have to get this
door open.
The bathroom door opened inward. Madeleine planted one foot
on the wall and yanked hard with her hands.
The door opened a crack, and Madeleine saw a figure flash by
outside.
She immediately realized what was happening.
The door wasn’t locked from the outside; someone was pulling
on it from the other side.
Chapter 149
This was intentional!
“Open the door, are you crazy?”
Madeleine yelled angrily, her voice sharp with anxiety.
Through the crack in the door, she saw what the person was
wearing.
Weren’t they the other two women from Fiona’s table!
?
The force from outside didn’t lessen at all; instead, they pulled
the door back even harder.
The two women were pulling and smirking maliciously.
Madeleine must look like a complete mess right now.
In a moment, they’d let go, making her stumble backward from
the force and fall, then they’d snap an ugly picture of her.
“Open the door now! Someone inside needs first aid! This is
murder, don’t you know that!”
Madeleine’s knuckles were white from the effort. She glanced
back at the woman.
Chapter 149
The woman had been leaning against the wall, but now she had
slowly slid to the floor in discomfort.
Her breathing was rapid, causing her to inhale more chlorine
gas.
If this continued, something terrible would definitely happen.
Outside, just as the two women were planning to let go on the
count of three…
“What are you doing!”
It was Fiona.
She hurried over in her high heels, already having a good idea of
what was going on.
Startled by her sudden shout, the two women jumped and
momentarily lost their grip.
Inside, Madeleine seized the opportunity and gave a sharp pull.
“Ah!”
The two stumbled forward a few steps, and the door was finally
pulled open.
Chapter 149
Ignoring the pain in her hands, Madeleine quickly propped the
door open for ventilation and shouted for a waiter to help.
The waiter came over, startled, and fumbled to call the manager
on his earpiece.
“Quick, this lady’s medicine is in her bag on the table, go get it!”
