The moment I locked eyes with Whitney, tears couldn' help but fall down my face. It felt as though a piece of my heart had been ripped out, leaving a hollow emptiness behind. Why?

Why did I feel such complicated emotions for a stranger I had barely met?

Damian, noticing my silent tears through the rearview mirror, spoke softly to comfort me, "Mrs. Zoey, don't be sad. There are many people in this world who are helpless in their situations. There are too many of them, and we are unable to help them all." "Damian, you noticed it too?"

Damian echoed, "Even when Taylor held her, she was trying to escape, not wanting him to touch her. But on the other hand, she's with the Carlyns. We can't just take her away by force."

I sighed deeply. Is this all I could do?

If she didn't leave the Carlyns, I couldn't take her away.

When I got home, Snowflake jumped into my arms, begging for some affection. I thought back to when Snowflake had been a stray cat, rough around the edges, and now, it was well-fed and pampered, its fur shiny, her face puffed up with health. Every day, the cat loved to snuggle and seek attention.

But Whitney was still with the Carlyns. Despite living in luxury, she had no freedom. What was the difference between her and a prisoner?

"If only she were like you," I muttered. "A single leap, and she could escape, leaving that place behind for good."

"Meow..." Snowflake mewed in agreement.

Carter appeared at the door, his face marked by exhaustion.

I knew that, besides work, he was secretly investigating the whereabouts of Bloodshade, the shadowy organization that had briefly disappeared.

It had given us a temporary break, a fleeting sense of safety, but no one knew when they might return or what schemes they were planning.

Carter wanted to be prepared before their next appearance.

I put Snowflake down and took Carter's coat. "You're home," I said..

"Yeah." He opened his arms, pulling me into his arms. I missed you."

Today, I had been at school all day, unlike the past few days when we had spent nearly every moment together.

Ithought that after spending so much time together, the novelty would wear off
