Chapter 11
 
The news was an absolute bombshell, and Tina was left with a dull hum in her head. 

 

 

How many days had it only been, and something so terrible had happened to Loving Heart Orphanage! And how is she supposed to go out with Samuel keeping her at the mansion?!

 

“I’ll be right there!” Nonetheless, she asked which hospital Sylvia Woods was at, hung up and quickly rushed out of the mansion.

 

The bodyguards posted there promptly got in her way. “Miss Lynd, you’re not allowed to leave.”

 

“I’m going to the hospital!” Tina cried anxiously. “Someone important to me is hurt—I need to check on her!”

 

“Family?”

 

“Yes, she’s family…”

 

One of the bodyguards made a call then, and said, “But your family is doing fine at home, Miss Lynd.”

 

“I’m not talking about them, they’re not—” Tina tried to explain, but then remembered…

 

Hence, she tried to make a run for it, but the bodyguards simply restrained her and locked her in her room.

 

“Samuel Langford, you scumbag!” Tina stamped her feet, hating Samuel to death even though he wasn’t there.

 

That was when she spotted a tree in the backyard with branches that had grown near the wall, and suddenly had an idea…

 

Ten minutes later, she managed to climb down to the backyard from the window with torn blankets, and then used every bit of strength she had to climb up the tree.

 

Eventually, she reached the top of the wall, and though her legs had turned to jelly and were shaking when she looked down, she gritted her teeth and jumped off.

 

Still, she ignored the bruises and cuts all over her body and hailed a cab. “Excuse me… could you take me to—”
