Bab 74: Razor

Madison concluded her heartbreaking account of Dunice, leaving Alex and Jeffrey in stunned silence. Alex's eyes were fixed on Madison, a mix of shock, empathy, and admiration for Dunice's courage evident in his expression. Jeffrey's mind raced with disbelief, his hands raking through his hair as he struggled to process the magnitude of Richard's abuse.

"How could I have not known?" Jeffrey thought, regret heavy in his eyes. "Dunice always seemed so strong, so capable... I never realized she was suffering silently. I had a hunch bit I didn't know it was that terrible."

Breaking the silence, Jeffrey spoke with determination, his voice steady despite the turmoil inside.

"What's our next move? We need to report this to the police, ensuring Richard faces justice for what he's done." His gaze met Madison's, conveying support.
