Samuel was stunned.

When he regained his senses, he hurried to Lewis’s side. “Mr. Horton, are you planning on… breaking in?”

Without saying a word, Lewis walked straight from the lobby to the detention center at the back, answering

with his actions.

Samuel said, “You are quite bold! Surely, this isn’t acceptable?”

Without pausing, Lewis asked coldly, “What else can I do? Can your boss wait until tomorrow?”

“Definitely not!”

Samuel followed him. “She can’t last until tomorrow. There was this time when iron wasn’t administered in time, and she fell into shock. We barely managed to

Keira, Lewis stopped him. “I was looking for the bathroom, but I ended up here by mistake.”

Samuel was dumbfounded.

He looked at Lewis in shock, his heart sinking.

Indeed, the marriage of Keira and Lewis was like a

joke. Faced with a gun, it made sense that Lewis didn’t want to risk his life.

But Samuel couldn’t abandon his boss.

As Lewis turned and began to walk away, Samuel stayed where he was.

Captain Lincoln frowned at him. “Mr. Morgan, aren’t you leaving with him?”
