Chapter 7

Jack's call came through, and after a moment of silence, Loki stammered nervously, "Boss, Emily has escaped."

"Escaped? She was drugged, where could she possibly go? How incompetent are you?"

Jack's eyebrows twitched violently as he berated Loki.

Then, he prepared to leave to search for her.

My body was weak, but I managed to drag myself into a corner as I listened to the commotion inside.

But... all of this turned out to be unnecessary.

Because with just one sentence from Cynthia, Jack abandoned his search for me.

"Jack, my stomach suddenly hurts so bad. Are you really going to leave me alone for that bitch Emily?"

Hearing this, Jack anxiously held her close, attentively pouring water and giving her medicine.

"Alright, alright, I won't bother with her. Don't worry."

Tears silently rolled down my face.

Using my last bit of consciousness, I dialed my father's number before completely blacking out.

In my hazy state, my memories drifted back to eight years ago.
