Chương 630: Getting Help From The Outside

Heller's POV:

It was a sleepless night.

I had never prayed as hard as I did now that time would pass slowly. Just a little slower, give Yarin more time, give me more time, so that the criminals wouldn't be able to escape in time and this wouldn't be discovered so quickly.

The dark sky turned light. I heard the faint sound of wheels and footsteps outside the ward. It was the nurse coming for the morning ward round.

This kind of ward round was different from the night round. It was not just about looking at the patients sleeping. There were new injections and medicines in the morning. I could not get the nurse to infuse the air nor construct an illusion that was enough to fool her.

I got it now. The countdown had begun.

"Nonsense, Heller, you've gone too far this time. Don't you know who those terrorists are? Who gave you the illusion that you could resist them alone?"
