Forced Marriage: My Wife, My Redemption by Lilyheart

Chapter 264: Escape...

"You’re right—pregnant in the stomach, not the legs or hands," she smirked, tying her hair into a bun.

Taking a deep breath, she glanced at Davis worriedly. "Will you be okay?" she asked, helping him hurriedly remove his suit, leaving him in just his shirt with the sleeves rolled up.

With sharp precision, they raced through the hall, avoiding obstacles in their path.

Behind them, the guards had reached the corridor, their shouts echoing after them. A gunshot rang out, bouncing off the walls and sending a sharp tremor down Jessica’s spine.

"They’re armed," Davis murmured grimly.

"What do you think?" Jessica panted, unable to deny that her energy had faded slightly. She blamed the pregnancy—though right now, it felt more like a hindrance than a blessing.

After covering half the hallway, her eyes caught sight of a control panel on the wall. She halted in her tracks, prompting Davis to stop.

With a quick exchange of glances, Davis bent down, giving her the chance to climb onto his shoulders as he carefully lifted himself from the ground.

He wouldn’t deny that he was taking a huge risk—but they needed to cover their tracks. They couldn’t let the lights hinder their escape. Right now, a successful escape was all that mattered.

With Davis standing tall, her hands reached the control panel. His legs ached, but no matter how painful it was, he had to bear it.

With swift precision, she pried the panel open using a pin she pulled from her bangle, replacing it immediately.

She pulled a pair of pliers from her hip band, her gloves already on.

Another gunshot.

Closer this time.

Jessica worked furiously, sparks flying from the panel as she bypassed the access code. Her fingers danced over the connections until—
