บททั้งหมดของ The Boy Behind The Red Door: บทที่ 31 - บทที่ 40

Lesley intensely stares at Jacoben's back while she follows him to his office. She remembers the day her mother commanded her to apply for a job at MNA. Amanda was talking on the phone that day to a person who apparently gave her a recommendation so she would have a higher chance of being accepted into this hospital. Jacoben was probably the friend Amanda was referring to because she remembered how he had just casually hired her. He did not even read her resume. She has a strong feeling that it is no accident that she and that man posing as a security guard are working here. She sighed. This is not the right time to be thinking about that. She slightly shook her head to put aside her doubts and concerns. She has to focus on their plan for now. After they are done with the mission, she will ask those questions to Jacoben. Hopefully, he will give her an honest answer. When they arrived at the office, Jacoben dialed his secretary to cancel all his appointments for today. And then he

"Shoot these vermins and feed their bodies to my pets."Lesley closed her eyes tightly to wait for a bullet to hit her, but a few seconds passed, and she had not heard a single gunshot. She felt someone grab her arms and pull her up. She opened her eyes and saw it was Jacoben who was helping her stand.Confused, she looked back and forth at Jacoben, Shane, and the four armed men."Why are you letting them stand?!” Shane's brows wrinkled as she pointed at them. “What are you doing?! Are you deaf?! I said shoot them!" Jacoben shook as he stood up straight and slightly raised his forehead."Don't waste your energy. They're not going to do it."Irritated, Shane stepped closer to her men and glared at them as if she would swallow them up if they would not follow. "Shoot them! Now! Shoot them, idiots!" Shane screamed, but the men pointed their guns at her instead. Shocked at what the four did, her eyes widened in disbelief while her jaw dropped. She quickly backed away a few steps. "W

Lesley is lost in her thoughts as she watches the fire dance in front of her. She stares at the burning wood while thinking about what they went through today. After escaping Shane's men, they hid in the forest and ran until the sky became dark. She hugs herself and sits on a rock wide enough to support her. She savors the warmth the fire gives as Dan continues to add more dried branches to the bonfire they had lit before sunset. Lesley patted the scrapes on her arms. She got it earlier when she jumped from the car. She had no deep wounds or broken bones, but the scratches on her skin were stinging. She glances at Bangs, who is still sound asleep next to her. She wonders what kind of sleeping pill or tranquilizer they used on him. He did not wake up or flinched even after they jumped from the car. Fortunately, Bangs had only a tiny wound on his left leg because she hugged him as they rolled on the rocky ground. "Does it hurt?" Dan asked, noticing her occasional look at her wounds

“How are you feeling?" Bangs asked worriedly as he sat beside Lesley. “Is your body all right?"She smiled at him. “Thanks to you I'm fine. I don't think anything serious happened to me."“You can't know that for sure.""I know it. And really, thank you, Bangs. You saved me earlier," Lesley said as she drank the whole bottle. "I thought I was going to be stuck there. It started raining too. I was really scared back there. Thank you for finding me."She looked at Bangs, and saw a frown on his face."Don't leave my side again," he said bitterly.Lesley sighed, she thought for a moment before answering."Bangs, there will be times that we have to be apart. I know you want to always be with me. I want that too. But don't focus your life around me. What if I die? You need to learn to live on your own. Be independent.""Die?"His face grew even sourer, and he looked at her sharply."I'm sorry. Of course, that's not going to happen," she cleared her throat. "But still, don't revolve your wor

They rode the black mini-truck to the 7th hideout. She and Bangs sat beside each other while holding hands until she fell asleep. Hours later, she woke up lying in a bed, surrounded by a white curtain, and her head throbbing."Hey, Iston, how is she?"The voice is familiar. She recognizes it as Airah's."Could you please lower your voice?" She remembers that voice too. It was Iston's."So grumpy," Airah snorted. "No wonder you don't have a girlfriend.""As if you have a boyfriend.""So mean too! I'm not going to help you find a girl here."What are they arguing about? Lesley forced her eyes open again. The surroundings are still blurry, but she can tell she is in some sort of infirmary. Her clothes have changed too. "I don't need your advice, and I don't need your help," Iston stressed."Oh, but you need it! I know all of the girls here. I'm the leader, after all. I must know everyone."Iston sighed and gave Airah a tired look. "Why are you here, Ai? Surely it's not to annoy me. Or
