Chapter 166

Keegan slid the bolt across the door with a heavy clank, his face contorted with pain as he spoke to her, “Whitney, I can’t put you in danger anymore. I head out on my own. It’s one thing for the cops to catch me, but you can’t be seen. You stay hidden here until I’m in the police station, then, you can come out and clear your name!”

“Uncle, let me out!” Whitney banged on the door, her cries for help falling into the void.

She moved to the window and saw her uncle’s staggering retreat, her heart piercing with pain like a needle had just pricked it

“Uncle! I need to get out now!” Whitney, frantic and pale, pounded the door frame with desperation.

But in the secluded little cottage, no one could hear her screams.

It was not until two days later that a passerby finally freed her. Whitney, clutching her stomach and barely hanging on, flagged down a car from the roadside.

A deep, icy terror settled in the quiet depths of his eyes.

There were two beds in the room.

One for his mother.

One for Elaine.
