Chapter 51:

? ? ? ? ?

Alicia had just arrived home when she picked up the phone to reassure Monica about her safety.

Hearing his voice, Monica's relief was palpable. "Caden hasn't bothered you, has he?"

Alice looked at her bandaged arm and quietly replied, "No."

It had been Joshua who had stood up to her.

To calm her nerves, Alice drank some water.

"Monica, I'm going to the Yates mansion tomorrow."

Monica's response was sharp. "Why?"

Alice briefly outlined her plan.

He noted Joshua's persistence, which oddly worked in his favor at the moment. In his quest for fast and effective testing, participation was essential.

Monica's concern was evident. "What if something unexpected happens? You're completely alone."

Alice gave a small giggle. “Staying away doesn't make your life any easier. It’s worth the risk.”

She knew she had to escape the vicious cycle of revenge. The longer she persisted, the more damaging it would be to her friends.

Monica, accepting Alicia's decision, offered her help. "What can I do to help?"

After a brief pause, Alice replied, "Could you find me some books?"
