Chapter 24: Few minutes of freedom!

Grace loved the fact that she was alone for the first time in weeks, alone and free. She did not know what had come over, whether it was the fact she was tired of men trying to control her or she needed space to breathe, but she had easily climbed out of the window! She had taken off her ridiculous shoes and slung them over her shoulder. 

Grace ran into the park enjoying the moonlight and fresh air, stopping briefly to look at a fountain. When she walked to the other side of the park and noticed a hospital. Grace walked over there with a smile on her face.

Meanwhile, Xan and Hank were waiting anxiously for Grace to return. After 20 mins, Hank sensed something was wrong.

“Mrs Ling, could you please check the loo to see if Dr Evans is OK?” Hank asked. 

Mrs Ling nodded and hurried to the female loo. She came back a couple of minutes later, her face white.

“I am afraid she is not in there!" Mrs Ling said.

“Shit! I knew she was upset!”
