Chapter 182
Chapter 182 A Nightmare
The thin woman sitting on the bed was none other than Abby, who had gone missing for more than two
months.
In the dim light, a glint of jealousy and contempt shed in the other woman’s eyes before she concealed
her expression and med herself. “Abby, the chef has already left. How about I share my meal with
you? I’m sorry for this. It’s all my fault. I didn’t expect you would miss it.” “It’s alright. I’m not hungry
anyway,” Abby said in a low voice as she shrugged her shoulders, looking down at the food scattered on
the floor.
“But if the guards find out that I spilled your food and made you starve, they will surely punish me. You
can eat mine. Go ahead. I know you haven’t eaten much for several days.” “It’s okay. I’m not that
hungry.” Abby shook her head. “Sasha, just eat your food. Don’t worry. I won’t tell anyone.” Sasha raised
her head and grabbed Abby’s hand tightly. “Are you sure you won’t tell anyone? Promise me.” When she
held Abby’s hand, Sasha’s long nails identally scratched the back of her palm.
Slightly wincing in pain, Abby tried to pull away instinctively, but Sasha gripped her so tightly that she
couldn’t break free. You have my word.” “Very good! Thank you, Abby! You’re such a kind girl.” Sasha
finally let go of Abby and caught a glimpse of the red mark on the back of thetter’s hand. Quickly
covering her small wound, Abby waved it off and said, “It’s nothing. Go eat.” Sasha promptly returned to
her bed, fiddled with the scallion in her bowl, and asked, “Abby, the visiting day will be in two days.
Will your familye to see you then?” It was not just the chef who was curious about who Abby really
was. Sasha also wanted to know about her mysterious cellmate’s past. However, Abby never told her
anything. Whenever Sasha tried to get something out of her, Abby always kept silent about her
background and wouldter steer the conversation into another topic. Ever since the day they met,
Sasha felt a twinge of jealousy towards her.
Abby had always exuded an air of innocence and kindness about her. But still, everyone in this facility
did something bad at one point. She was also in jail, so she must havemitted a crime. However, the
guards had always been nice to Abby, so one had to wonder what her life was like outside these walls.
At first, Sasha thought that Abby came from a prominent family. That could be the reason why all the
guards treated her differently
But more than a couple of months had passed, and there were two chances for family members to visit
the prisoners, but no one came for her. Besides, judging from her choice of words and mannerisms,
Abby didn’t act like a well educated and elegantdy at all. “I don’t know.” Keeping to her thoughts, Abby
narrowed her eyes and tightened her grip on the nket. She wondered how Rachel was doing right
now. It had been a long time since they hadst seen each other.
‘How is her baby?’ As memories of their friendship began flooding in, Abby felt sad that she couldn’t be
there for Rachel when she needed her the most. A single tear fell from her eye and dropped on the
sheet. “I miss you so much. I hope you’re alright,” Abby murmured to herself. Hearing Abby’s whisper a
couple of feet away, Sasha turned to her cellmate but could not make out her words. After swallowing her
last bite, she put down her bowl and said, “Abby, I heard that there is a job tomorrow.
Something about weeding. If you do it well, they might give you a remission. How about you apply for it
and take me with you? It’s better than rotting away in this cell.” “Weeding?” “That’s right. The guards said
that authorities areing to inspect this facility. If we perform well, we might get an early release on
good behavior.” Sasha leaned over with a smirk. “Don’t you want to grab this opportunity? This might be
yourst chance to redeem yourself!
If everything goes ording to n, you can walk out of here a free woman in no time!” Sitting in silence
for a few seconds, Abby simply pursed her lips and said, “Well, I don’t know. It is a good chance. But you
go on ahead. I’m fine right here.” The truth was Abby didn’t even know the date of her release or if she
could even leave this hopeless ce. Disappointed by her cellmate’s response, Sasha gritted her teeth.
She didn’t expect that Abby would just turn her back on freedom so quickly. But Sasha didn’t care
whether Abby wanted to go or not. This was her one chance to escape prison life, and Abby was going
to be her ticket out of here! She wanted to get out of this damned cell as soon as possible by whatever
means necessary! “There must be a lot of people fighting for this crack at freedom. I don’t think I will
win.” Lowering her head in disappointment, Sasha continued to plead her case.
“But you’re different than the rest of the goons in this joint. Haven’t you noticed that, Abby? The prison
guards have been treating you nicely. You can use that to your advantage. As long as you do your job
well, they will definitely rmend your early release to the authorities.”
Seeing that Abby didn’t seem encouraged by her words, Sasha sighed and leaned back in defeat. “Abby,
I miss my grandma so much. She is very old and sickly. I think she might be living on borrowed time, and
I would love to be with her again. Believe it or not, I truly regret what I did. If I didn’t turn to the life of
crime, then I wouldn’t have been locked up and separated from my grandma.
If I don’t take this opportunity now, then it might be toote because I don’t know if my grandma will still
be alive five yearster.” Afraid that Abby would turn her down again, Sasha held her hand tightly and
shed a few tears for good measure.

Sasha’s tactics worked. Abby felt sorry for her and said, “But I’m not sure if they will agree.” “Of course,
they will. It’s now or never! You just agreed to my n, right?” Sasha asked eagerly. “Yes. Let’s do it.”
Seeing the genuine happiness on Sasha’s face, Abby couldn’t help but smile as well. She didn’t notice
the cunning look in Sasha’s eyes, nor did she know that tomorrow would be an absolute nightmare.
