Raeleigh had been waiting. All she had said was one sentence. She was not sure when they would come and save her. She did not move for fear that accidents would happen to her.
Zorion was also surprised that Raeleigh had chosen to call him.
It was not long before Zorion's car arrived at Raeleigh's location. Raeleigh confirmed it was the car of the Whalen family before she got up and emerged from her hiding spot.
The weather in spring was neither cold nor hot. Raeleigh had been waiting for more than an hour until Zorion finally showed up. She was so nervous and anxious that her sweat had drenched through her clothes while walking. Her sweat had already dried up after waiting for more than an hour. She immediately walked up to Zorion, who recognized her at once from his car. Although she was wearing a police uniform, Zorion was certain that the figure in front of him was Raeleigh.
Meanwhile, Rossie was sitting in the car. At first, she was uncertain if it was actually Raeleigh, but when she noticed Zorion's expression, realisation immediately dawned upon her. Zorion pushed the door open and got out of the car. Raeleigh looked up at him and said, "I want to get in the car."
With that, Zorion helped Raeleigh into the car. Closing the door, Zorion was about to ask the driver to leave when Raeleigh grabbed his arm and looked at him, begging, "I have a request to ask of you."
"Go ahead."
Both Rossie and Zorion were so relieved to see her. After a month's disappearance without the slightest trace of her whereabouts, the fact that she had returned out of nowhere was a miracle.
Such a miracle would probably never happen again. Zorion knew that Raeleigh was desperate for his help and was betting everything she had on the line.
Too much had happened that month. Anything could happen, including...
"I have to save one person from the prison in front of me. I don't want to worry about it in the future, so I have to do it now. Help me, please. I have no other choice."
Raeleigh's eyes were shimmering with desperation. She had no choice but to do so as she couldn't have Austin take the responsibility on her behalf. If nothing was going to happen, Austin would not send her out all of a sudden. Raeleigh was quite clear that things were probably so terrible that they were spiraling out of her control.
Zorion glanced in the direction Raeleigh was pointing at, asking in disbelief, "You said you came out of the Green House?"
"I don't know what that is. I just know that I have to save someone."
Zorion was in a dilemma, "In Capital City, I can help you with anything, except for affairs regarding this place. Green House is not under our control and is under the jurisdiction of an international institution. Although it's a prison, the prisoners are all people in deep waters. I don't have the ability to do so."
Zorion had heard his father, Rayan, talking about it. Green House was different from other prisons. The prisoners were all from powerful backgrounds, and he couldn't afford to offend them.
The fact that Raeleigh still managed to escape surprised Zorion.
However, he failed to come up with a solution and just kept staring at Raeleigh's clothes.
Raeleigh asked, "Can you ask someone to keep an eye on the surroundings in case anybody is being brought out from the inside? Can you ask someone to check on him?"
Zorion shook his head and sighed, "I don't know.
I'll have to ask my father." "But if you leave now..." Raeleigh was at a loss. She looked in the direction of Green House and couldn't stop worrying about Austin. If anything happened to Austin, she would be condemned by her conscience for the rest of her life.
Zorion racked his brain for a solution and blurted out, "Maybe someone has a way."
"Who?"
Raeleigh asked and looked at Zorion as if he was her only string of hope. A moment later, Zorion muttered, "As far as I know, the Matthews family has a powerful influence internationally. If it's the Matthews family, you should probably have no problem helping him."
"The Matthews family? Who's that?" Raeleigh asked, not knowing anyone from the Matthews family.
