Jasper appeared guilty and walked up, asking in concern, "Does it hurt?""Hurts so much…" Renee groaned tearfully. "Are you crazy… Why did you hurt me…"As she sniffled like an aggrieved toddler, Jasper quickly reached up to rub her head. "Alright, alright, my bad, my bad—I was just in a rush…"Smack! Renee slapped his hand off. "My scalp… not hurt…""Right." Jasper came to his senses and walked in to put his arms around her. "It's the back of your head, I guess? Let me massage it."His tone was gentle as Renee managed to sidetrack him before she knew it.Even as he gently massaged her head, he asked softly, "How's that? Does it still hurt?"Renee had a ton of different feelings even as she rested her head on his chest, her mind racing at that moment.What should she do?!Eventually, she wrapped her arms around his waist and nuzzled his chest. "Owie, owie… my back too…"Jasper stiffened, not quite understanding what was happening.Seconds later, he reached out to rub her b
She was drunk and her mind in a daze for a while, but it eventually cleared up.She looked up at the wall clock to see that it was past five in the morning, and only one person would come at this time.Jasper.She closed her eyes, her heart pounding.In the end, he still came—and she would be lying if she said she wasn't worried.Glancing at the other bottle of red wine that was opened but not drank from, she took a large swig before putting down the bottle again.Then, wiping the stain off her lips, she started toward the door.She was already drunk, and with that half bottle of wine, she was virtually floating as she headed to the door.Even as she grasped the doorknob, she had to muster herself so that Jasper didn't catch on.What should she do?Her mind was blank, and the more she tried to think, the more confused she was."Who is it?! It's so late…" she eventually groaned, pressing her disheveled self against the doorway while squinting at the man outside. "Who are you?
In less than thirty minutes, Renee finished an entire bottle and finally felt sleepy, dozing off on the couch right then.-Meanwhile, Jasper arrived at Jormund Airport at four in the morning.Yvie had been waiting by the curb outside for a while, waving at him when he stepped out, and approached to greet him. "Mr. Zeller."Jasper continued straight toward his car, while Luke hurried ahead of him to get the door for him.Eventually, he asked, "Anything?"Yive shook her head. "I've sent everyone I can, but there hasn't been any trace."Jasper paused and turned to look at Yvie. "You've been in the house the whole day? Did you notice anything?"Yvie's expression was impassive as she shook her head again. "No. Nothing."Jasper's eyes narrowed coldly right then. "She slipped out from right under your nose, but you didn't even notice? When did you become so incompetent?""I'm sorry," Yvie replied, apologizing with a bow of her head.Luke then reasoned, "Sir, it's not entirely Ms.
"Alright. See you later."Hanging up, Renee closed her door and closed her eyes as she reclined on her seat, her pounding heart not calming down for a while.It was the silence before the storm, so she was relishing it as time passed toward the arrival of danger.She had given Alison a fake ID and some money, and she was free once she left Hyperia safely.An hour later, Renee arrived at the address Randy had given her, seeing him standing nearby after she parked her car.He was wearing a checkered coat and a black scarf, his short dark curls combed neatly matched with that fair face, exuding the appearance of a mild-mannered scholar.Renee couldn't help being impressed as it had been some years, but his face wasn't ravaged by time at all.Waving at him from afar, she called out, "Hey, teach."Randy looked around before finally finding Renee and jogged over with his black umbrella."Are you feeling cold?" he asked as he stood before her, holding his umbrella over her.Renee br
Mimi got into the same car as Alison, while Renee returned to her car and left as well, speaking into a walkie along the way, "You can start heading for the junction at Anchor Point. They will be there in fifteen.""Yes, Ms. Whitley.""Roger.""We're coming."At her orders, four cars started toward the junction at Anchor Point on four different routes, arriving punctually at fifteen minutes and quickly receiving Alison at the next camera blind spot.Then, another thirty minutes later, another three cars gathered, with one picking up Alison at yet another blind spot before every car went in different directions.And after changing cars four times, Alison's car finally went on the highway, while Mimi already left her during the third switch.She got into Renee's car and was sent to Harborview City.The Zellers knew Mimi and would definitely start chasing after her too, but Renee didn't make another fake ID for her, instead bringing her over to work at Genome Tech.Renee then hea
Yvie leaned against the stove counter as she watched Renee. "You're being way too stubborn. Letting Alison go doesn't just make you an enemy of the Zellers—the Xaviers will be out for your blood too. I'm sure you know why people never challenge government officials… If the Xaviers find this escape unacceptable, the Zellers will pay for it too.""I get it—all of it." Renee sighed, shaking her head. "But I don't care. There's only that much I can do, and Alison is all I care about.""So you've made up your mind?""Yeah.""Even if it kills you?""I'd already be dead if not for Allie," Renee retorted bluntly.Seeing how obstinate she was, Yvie lowered her eyes in thought for a moment.Soon, she looked up again and smiled. "Alright. There's nothing I can say to change your mind, anyway, is there? Just come with me."Even before the apple juice was finished, Yvie led Renee away from the kitchen and out of the back door, around the entire manor and toward the front porch.As she watc
