“nning to make a run for it?” Zoe’s voice dripped with cold disdain as she caught the nurse.


    Surveying the nurse carefully, I noticed she wasn’t a high-ranking Barton operative; she appeared more like someone sent on a spying mission.


    Without mincing words, I questioned her, “Tell me, were you listening in on our conversation to report back to the Barton family?”


    “Forgive me, I was wrong.


    Please spare me!” The nurse’splexion drained of color as fear gripped her.


    “I was only following orders.


    Please don’t hold it against me!”


    Observing the sheer terror in the nurse’s eyes, it struck me that her hasty retreat was likely due to cowardice rather than the skills of a seasoned spy.


    Zoe’s brows furrowed.


    She had little patience for outsiders and, realizing that this nurse wouldn’t yield useful information, didn’t linger.


    She administered a swift, yet precise blow to the nurse’s neck, rendering her unconscious.


    Turning to Be, Zoe issued a stern warning, her voiceced with gravity.


    “Be, the Barton family has been keeping an eye on your every move.


    Did you see this nurse? It’s increasingly perilous to leave your child in the Barton family’s hospital.Content held by N?velDrama.Org.


    If you dy and make the wrong decision, your family will bebeled as coborators with the Bartons, seen as traitors to the Thorn Edge Pack.

    Be hesitated.


    I pointed out, “Be, the Barton family knows that Fiona is your weakness.


    Since they have threatened you this time, you can be sure there will be a second time.


    After all, this medicine won’t be able to cure your childpletely.


    They instructed your husband to guide the second group of Roz Town’s residents to the forest to murder them this time.


    What will happen next time? I’m sure they will make even more sinister demands.


    ”


    Be frowned.


    After a long moment, she finally reached a decision.


    “Well, I promise you that I will do my best to convince my husband to testify against the Barton family.


    But I will only do this on the condition that you will take responsibility for Fiona’s safety.


    ”


    “No problem,” Zoe said confidently, showing no trace of hesitation.


    “I promise you that she won’t get hurt.


    ”


    I nced at the nurse lying on the floor and then shifted my attention to the surveince camera in the corridor.


    “This is a very dangerous ce.


    Let’s leave first.


    ”


    Hearing my warning, Be instantly walked back into the room and brought the child out.


    Fiona didn’t know what was happening.


    She rubbed her eyes and asked in a perplexed voice, “Mom, where are we going? Don’t I need to stay in the hospital?”


    Zoe was well-versed in handling children.


    With a smile, she said, “Fiona, why don’t we go home to look for your father and then go to an interesting ce?”


    “Awesome!” Fiona immediately agreed in delighted anticipation.


    The four of us were about to take the elevator downstairs, but at that moment, the elevator doors slid open and a group of well-trained guards stepped out.


    They blocked our way with forbidding expressions.


    Zoe and I exchanged nces, realizing that these guards were not friendly.


    We shielded Be and Fiona with our bodies and cautiously retreated to a staircase that would lead us out of the hospital.


    In this way, once the guards made a move to attack us, we could quickly escape via the staircase with Be and Fiona.
