After saying that, Essie's eyes turned red.

Then, she stood up.

She slowly ran her fingers along the man's face.

The man's face was bluish-gray, like a zombie right out of the grave.

Essie murmured, "I know you miss your sister, but I can't take you to her. If they catch you, they will destroy you. Lothar, they will most definitely destroy you,"

Selina had slept for a very long time during the day, so she couldn't sleep at night.

Unfortunately, she couldn't eat a lot of things because she was in confinement.

Matthew heated up some milk for her.

After drinking a lot of warm milk, she felt full.

Now that she had time, she started to think about what had happened that night.
