Once Nancy left this place, her life would go back to normal. But she could already imagine what Nana would face afterwards.
It was hard to tell whether Nana could survive or not.
"Silly girl, I've just said that I'm dying soon. It doesn't matter how and when. I'm content that you can live a well once you leave this hell. Come on, follow me." After saying that, Nana bent over and ran forward.
Seeing the hesitation in her eyes, Edward reassured her, "Let's go, Nancy. As soon as we got out of here, I will find a way to save Nana."
Although she was still hesitating, Nancy said, "Okay."
The three of them passed through a narrow and closed path, and then they had to climb over a high wall.
However, the wall was more than five meters high, and Edward and Nancy couldn't climb over it any way.
"Wait a minute..." Nana said and disappeared in the garden. Soon, she came back with a soft ladder.
In full force, she threw the soft ladder until it hung on the high wall.
After securing the ladder, Edward turned to Nancy. "Nancy, you go first."
"Nana, come with us. Go up the soft ladder first." If Nana stayed here, she would be tortured; or worse, she could die.
So, Nancy thought it would be better for her leave with them now.
With a bitter smile, Nana gently shook her head. "I'm used to living here. I don't want to leave, but you have to." "Why?"
"Don't ask why. You will be found soon. Go up the soft ladder quickly." To stop her from asking any more questions, Nana stretched out her hand and pushed Nancy hard.
When Nancy refused to move, Edward also urged, "Hurry up, Nancy."
Left without a choice, Nancy climbed the ladder. However, the moment she stepped on the wall, the alarms went off which alerted the whole courtyard.
In a quiet night, it was exceptionally frightening.
"Hurry up. It will be too late if you don't leave now." The alarm became louder, so Nana pushed Edward too.
"Okay, thank you." Unlike Nancy, he was quick to climb up the walls.
"Nancy, remember, leave here and never come back. Don't tell anyone about this place," Nana warned.
"Nana, why?" Up until this very moment, Nancy still couldn't figure out what Nana was afraid of and why she would rather die here than leave.
"Just because! Nancy, it's not important. You have to hurry up." A hustle and bustle came, and the guards quickly arrived. Nana anxiously looked around while driving them away.
In one swift move, Edward pulled the soft ladder and hung it outside the wall.
"Don't ask any more questions. The most important thing now is to escape. Let's talk about it after this." Although Edward was worried about Nana too, his priority now was Nancy. "Hurry up. Get down the ladder.
There was nothing else she could do but thank Nana. Nancy wanted her to come with them, but she was firm with her decision.
Feeling helpless, Nancy went down the ladder, followed by Edward.
As soon as they successfully climbed down the wall, they heard Nana's agonizing scream, and then it stopped abruptly. At that moment, Nancy felt as if her heart was being squeezed. What did they do to Nana?
The footsteps faded away, and then another noise came from a distance.
So, Edward held Nancy's arm and said, "Hurry up. There is no exit here. They will come out soon."
"Edward, do you have a phone? I want to call Charles." The first thing Nancy wanted to do when she came out was to call Charles to let him know that she was safe now.
But Edward only gave her a cold look. "Nancy, I don't have a phone. Besides, what you should think about now is how we could escape, not Charles."
