Justin led Bella through the deserted corridor with hurried steps, like
two lovebirds trying to elope together.
Bella gazed deeply at Justin’s broad back, which gave her a sense of security. Her breath got heavier,

wanted to give you is stored inside.”

Justin sensed something ominous and was about to respond when

“During those years, you had indeed experienced a hard journey. But
