Even after Her Death by Rita Bond

Chapter 403 Are You Surprised?

Whitney had already handed me her phone. If I used it to contact someone outside, my chances of escape would greatly increase.

She clearly wanted me to leave, not to be trapped here like her.

Yet, deep down, a part of her still wanted to see me again.

Her emotions conflicted throughout the day.

I wiped her tears and made a gesture to her.

If we leave, we leave together.

"Leave?"

She shook her head. "He'll never let me go. I know too much. Even if I die, it will be by his side."

As expected, Whitney had completely lost the desire to escape. I shook my head and tried to tell her how beautiful the outside world was... "Since the world is so wonderful, you shouldn't stay here with me. Chloe, you must run if you get a

chance..."

Whitney was only 25, yet the light in her eyes resembled someone at the end of their life.

It shouldn't be this way.

I felt tears of frustration welling up. I wanted to speak, to reason with her, but no words would come.

The limitations of my sign language made it impossible to fully convey my thoughts.

Finally, I managed to tell her with gestures.

I won't leave you. I'll protect you. We'll get out of here together

Perhaps not wanting to upset me further, she nodded vaguely.

I sighed.

Her mind was trapped in the confines of the past 20 years. It wasn't something I could change in a day or two, nor with just a few words.
