Lynn chuckled without turning his head, “No, at least they won’t kill me. They still need me!”
A wave of relief washed over Evelyn. “Don’t stay here any longer. Lambert can help us get out. Come with us!”
But Lynn shook his head in distress. “Once you come to Zion, there’s no leaving. Just go. Don’t stay here for my
sake. I’ve let you down. Forget about me!”
Tears streamed down Evelyn’s cheeks again. “Why does it have to be this way?”
Lynn said nothing more, his back retreating into the distance.
Lambert stepped out, clapping Evelyn on the shoulder. “Dry those tears. He can’t leave Zion. It’s like he’s

already gone.”
Evelyn’s sobs grew louder.
Lambert was in a foul mood, angry at himself for the whole mess.
So, he left Evelyn without further comfort, his footsteps heavy as he walked away.

Lambert tossed and turned, unable to sleep. Every tick of the clock was a reminder that Rella’s chances of waking up were slipping away. His anxiety was like a heavy chain, making each day feel like an eternity. In frustration, he got up to drown his sorrows in alcohol, feeling just like Rella had accused him of

tormented.
He had delivered Estelle straight into Raiden’s hands, and now he was restless to save her, though he couldn’t
understand why.
He took a swig of whiskey, his gaze settling on the distant research tower. He couldn’t pin all his hopes on Lynn.
He couldn’t wait any longer.
