Chapter 230


    Pale with fear, Esther wasforted by Felix, who whispered in her ear to calm down. She gestured


    for silence, fearing that any noise would attract the ck-d men’s attention. outside the corridor.


    Esther felt a sense of gratitude that they hadn’t run out into the open field earlier. They would have


    be easy targets in the waist-high wild grass if they had. Worry flickered in Esther’s bright eyes as


    she looked down at the dust on her white shoes.


    The stairwell they had just escaped from was filled with thick dust. Once the ck-d men upstairs


    woke up, they would easily track her through the footprints.


    What should they do now?


    Esther was frantic and at a loss. She had given up hope that Bradley woulde to her rescue. It was


    up to her to find a solution.


    Bumping her head lightly against the wall, she regretted wasting her time in prison, grieving over the


    deaths of her children. If she had known what terrors awaited her upon release, she would have


    focused on studying, reading books, and learning self-defense.


    ‘Self-defense…”


    Suddenly, Esther remembered the wise words of Granny Grace, an elderly woman with medical skills


    she had met in prison. She forced herself to calm down and carefully considered Granny Grace’s


    advice.


    Granny Grace had emphasized the importance of not panicking and thinking of a solution in any


    situation. As long as one was still alive, there was always a chance in life.

    Felix shook his head and wrote in her palm: “Together.”


    Esther held Felix tightly, leaned close to his ear, and whispered, “Felix, if you go call the police, we


    have hope. But if you don’t, both of us…”


    Esther didn’t finish her sentence as the sound of a car engine in the distance caught their attention.


    They pressed against the door to get a glimpse outside and saw an ambnce parked nearby. A group


    of ck-d men emerged, pushing a young man out of the ambnce.


    “He’s so young…”


    “The boss said to find a young man. Healthy kidneys, you know?”


    “Oh… healthy kidneys.”


    The ck-d men joked while pushing the young man inside.


    “The elevator’s here. You guys stay down here.”


    Esther’s heart sank. She and Felix would be in danger if they brought the person to the


    operating room and discovered the two ck-d men who had fainted in the bathroom. She

    held onto the window ledge, looking at Esther anxiously. “Mommy, let’s escape together!


    “Felix, Mommy will teach you an important lesson now. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket,


    understand?”


    Esther had no other choice. Felix, was just a child, and hiding was easier for him.
