I froze for a moment, and after I understood what he meant by that, I turned around and went upstairs.
Milan knew about my relationship with Theo now, so i t would not be cost-effective to sell me to the rich. He was a businessman, and they would always think of ways to maximize their profits.
When I got back to my room, I stood in front of the window and looked down.
There were still many people guarding below, so it was impossible for me to escape this place.
The villa faced the ocean, and there was a forest at the back. With no one to point out the way, it would be difficult for others to find this place.
Theo was surely not going to leave before he found m e. I wondered if he could even find this place.
I had mixed feelings. I was hoping that he would find this place and at the same time, I hoped he would not.
I feared for his safety if he found this place.
Shannon and the rest were very weak. When I visited them in their rooms the next morning, they were still fast asleep. Hence, I went downstairs to stay in the living room instead.
When it was ten in the morning, Milan returned.
There was a man behind him, and after taking a closer look, I realized that it was Jordan.
When Jordan came in and saw me, he asked, "How's your wound?"
I nodded. "Much better now."
He smiled slightly and looked at Milan, asking, "Can I talk to her in private?”
Milan frowned, a little hesitant about it. However, out o f respect, he eventually nodded.
I was left alone with Jordan. I looked at the man's cool expression that carried a hint of indifference. He gave others a strong sense of distance.
