Chapter 26 He Smells Like Her

When Alston returned to the room, Cynthia had fallen asleep.

She curled up under the blanket like a baby.

It was a sign of extreme insecurity.

Alston sat by the window and noticed her face with tears. He sighed and gently wiped the tears from her face with his fingers.

He didn’t want it either, but there were too many people staring at him in secret.

If he got close to her or even just showed some kindness to her, her situation would only get worse. Cynthia was lucky enough to not be hurt even though she was kidnapped. Alston couldn’t even imagine what might happen to her in the future.

Everything was weird.

That day, Cynthia’s phone rang after she just finished her lunch. It was a call from Beck, which was
