That night, and the following night, Ethan fell asleep in the same chair inside her room.
Like that, a week passed by. As their departure drew near, Ethan grew busy with preparations, and Adelina was busy secretly preparing for her escape as well.
Jeff had disappeared, and she knew she shouldn't be doing this when Mona was currently in the middle of receiving treatment for her leg, but she could no longer stay here.
"Huu."
She had already planned which path she'd take, and the darkness of the night would come to her aid. All she had to do was make her move.
She could not stay by Ethan's side any longer.
"I need to leave."
Even though time had passed, nothing had changed. Ethan's heart was still pining for Adelina, and he would still wade through any danger for her sake. Even though enough time had passed for him to begin hating her, Ethan continued to spend his days searching for her.
