That night, Charlotte was plagued with nightmares. When the sun rose again, she woke up covered in sweat.

Her wide eyes were fixed on the ceiling as she panted.

It took her a long while before she was able to collect herself. After making sure that she was in a room in the villa and that she was safe, she sighed in relief.

Her clothes stuck to her, and it felt uncomfortable, so she headed to the bathroom for a shower. When her hands came into contact with water, a pang of pain traveled up her fingers. It was only then she realized the skin on the tip of her thumb was torn.

Charlotte paid no heed to it, thinking that it was an injury from her escape yesterday.

After washing up, she walked out of the bathroom just in time to hear someone knocking on the door. Raina’s voice then came from behind the door. “Ms. Windt, may I come in?”

“Yes,” Charlotte replied.

Raina entered the room with a birdcage in her hands.

Fifi lay quietly inside as it observed the foreign environment fearfully.

The moment it saw Charlotte, however, it brightened up and fluttered its injured wing before yelling, “Mommy! Mommy!”
