The Silent 724

Chapter 724

Chapter 724

The jailers barely managed to save Margery Sedgwick's life, but it was clear she wouldn't be waking up anytime soon.

The warden had no choice but to order, "Take her back for now!"

"Back to her original cell?" The jailer hesitated.

The warden paused, remembering the group of beastfolk that had been held in Margery's old cell.

They had nearly finished her off last time, sending her back would be a death sentence.

She'd only just been rescued; he couldn't let those savages get to her now.

So, the warden asked, "Any empty cells available?"

The jailer shook his head. "His Majesty's been furious lately, so many people have been brought in that we're packed to the brim. There's not a single empty cell left.”

"Not even a single one?" The warden was in disbelief.

"Nope, not a single one," the jailer replied, shrugging helplessly.

The warden was even more helpless. With all the cells full, he couldn't just turn her loose outside.

At that moment, the warden's apprentice spoke up with a suggestion. "Sir, hasn't that one cell always housed only a prisoner? He's been quiet recently, why not place the doctor in there?"

At the mention of "that one cell," an uneasy look flickered across the warden's face.

After hesitating for a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, just let her stay in there for a couple of days."

Just like his apprentice said, that prisoner had been pretty quiet lately. Moreover, it was only for two days. Nothing could possibly go wrong.

The warden intended to move Margery once another cell opened up. In the meantime, he ordered two jailers to take her to a temporary one.

"Ugh, so hot." In her semi-conscious state, Margery felt like a blazing furnace was pressed tightly against her back.
