You’re back

Raine immediately went out of the bathroom and returned the mobile phone back to Aunt Sanya.

"I really hope that we won't resort to this," Sanya murmured, gingerly holding the phone between her hands.

"Aunty… Please trust me on this," Raine pleaded. "Nathan will be back soon, and I need any of those sleeping potions or pills you have right now to give to him later. That way, he won't be awake during the exchange of hostages."

Raine resisted the urge to flinch as she saw the conflicted expression on Aunt Sanya's face. However, she still knew that it was the only way for a peaceful resolution… She refused to let two innocent kids die just because of Nathan's utter possessiveness over her. She understood where he was coming from, but it was still an easy choice to make. Besides, she was confident that she and Nathan would reunite soon.
