Chapter 58

She could finally leave Alderburg.

Serena stared at the screen, holding her breath in anticipation.

"Serena-"

A cold voice suddenly cut through the air.

She looked up and saw Aaron sprinting towards her. Her heart skipped a beat, and her hands trembled slightly.

"You can't leave!"

His voice echoed through the empty airport, amplified to a haunting degree, enveloping Serena in a chilling grip.

Her hands shook even more.

She quickly lifted her gaze, her eyes meeting Aaron's intense stare as he closed the distance. Her eyes reddened, void of warmth. "And what if I must?"

"As soon as you buy that ticket, the police will be on their way. Serena, making this a scene won't do you any good."

Serena let out a bitter laugh, filled with melancholy. "So what? As long as I can leave before they arrive, I have no regrets!"

Aaron's eyes narrowed sharply. "What does Northspire have that makes you so desperate to go back?!"

Despair flickered in Serena's eyes.
