Chapter 154

"What should we do, Elia. Phoebe tried hard to free her hands and feet, but it was no use.

Compared to Phoebe's restless anxiety, Ophelia was much calmer. She sat quietly, breathing softly without making much noise.

"Aren't you scared?" Phoebe had lost her earlier composed demeanor. Talking seemed to be the only way to calm her nerves. "Not bad." Ophelia leaned against the wall with her eyes closed, as if gathering energy.

Phoebe clamped her mouth shut, and in the silent room, only the soft and deep sounds of breathing could be heard.

There were windows around, but they couldn't hear the sound of the sea, just trees, indicating they had been moved to a new place.

They were probably on the second floor or higher, as she could see the shadows of the tree leaves.

Phoebe's breathing became heavier. "Elia, can I talk now?"

"Suit yourself!"

"Why do you think they captured the two of us? Phoebe asked, puzzled.
