Hannah raised an eyebrow slightly.


    “If you escape with me tonight, you’ll be turning your back on Amelie Chadwick.


    There’s no going back after that.


    ”


    “Humph!” Charlie scoffed, his eyes filled with determination.


    “You’re right.


    It doesn’t matter to me who’s using me.


    As long as my family stays safe, I’m willing to be used by you too.


    ”


    Hannah effortlessly unchained Charlie.


    Once she was done, she gave him a quick nce and asked, “Can you walk?”


    “Ehn.


    ” Charlie pressed his chest and whispered, “Follow me.


    ”


    He stumbled ahead, and Hannah trailed behind.


    She kept a sharp eye on their surroundings as they walked ahead.


    As they entered a room, she didn’t inspect it closely.


    Along the path, she noticed numerous cages housing locked-up women.


    “Are those…”


    Hannah started, but Charlie cut her off, “Save your questions forter.


    We can talk once we get out of here.


    ”


    He led the way and chose a different route than the one she came from.


    This time, he made two turns after leaving the punishment room.


    Charlie suddenly halted-Hannah figured they must have reached a dead end.


    The wall under the dimmp confirmed her suspicions.


    Although she had saved Charlie’s life, trust wasn’t automatic.


    Standing behind him, Hannah kept her gun ready, prepared to shoot if he made a suspicious move.


    Charlie, on the other hand, seemed oblivious.


    He continued forward until he reached the apparent dead end, cing his hand on the onlymp.


    Click!


    Charlie twisted the light switch, and at the end of the road, a door slid open.

    e turned to Hannah and motioned for her to follow.


    “Come on, this way!”


    Unexpectedly, another secret door stood before them.


    Hannah hesitated for a moment, but after a while, she decided to join him.


    The stark brightness of light immediately greeted her sight as she walked out the door.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    There were noises of the hustle and bustle, too.


    Hannah surveyed the environment around her.


    Hannah took in her surroundings, realizing they were now outside the building, surrounded by vehicles and the lively chatter of passersby.


    Curious, she nced back at the wall they had just passed through-seamless, with no indication of the hidden path.


    “Stop looking.


    We’re already out of Caditown, Charlie, now pater, informed her.


    It was then that Hannah noticed blood staining his hand, covering his chest.


    The bleeding needed to be addressed.


    “You can’t go back to the Compton family.


    I’ll take you to the Imperial Pce Hotel,” she dered.


    At the mention of the hotel, Charlie looked hesitant.


    Nevertheless, Hannah pressed on, and he had no choice but to follow her.
