Jasper's POV: Naomi's words caught me completely off guard. I looked at her in surprise, but her eyes held nothing but sincerity and determination. For a moment, I was at a loss. I had never even considered the possibility that Naomi had feelings for me. To me, she was just someone I needed to take care of—like a little sister. Nothing more. After a moment of thought, I carefully chose my words. "Naomi, in my heart, we're really good friends. I can help you improve professionally, and I'll always support you. Isn't it better to keep things the way they are?" The light in Naomi's eyes dimmed instantly. She stayed silent for a moment before nodding and softly saying, "Alright, I understand." I wanted to say something to ease the awkwardness, but when I opened my mouth, I realized I had no words. After a while, I could only grab an apple and place it in Naomi's free hand. I made an excuse, saying, "Naomi, I just remembered—I need to inform Mr. Cooper about your injury. So ... I can't stay with you at the hospital for now. Get some rest, and I'll come by tomorrow." Without waiting for a response, I stood up and walked out of the ward without looking back. I hoped she understood—there was never a possibility of us being together. Wendy's POV: I've been staying at the plastic surgery hospital for quite a while now. When I slit my wrists back then, I didn't hold back, so the wounds were deep. Even after returning from abroad, I had to keep applying the ointment I brought from the hospital for a while to help them heal gradually. During this time, I also kept an eye on Rosaline and Caden. When I found out they had gone to Phoshire together, I knew my chance had come. I immediately contacted the connections I had arranged at the police station and personally went to the prison to negotiate with the guards. There, I saw Heidi again. She looked even more haggard than the last time we met, but the moment she saw me, her eyes lit up. "You're finally here! When are you getting me out of here?" Heidi looked at me eagerly. "What's the hurry?" I said with a faint smile. Right now, Heidi saw me as her only lifeline. As long as it meant leaving this place, she'd be willing to do anything. I calmly took a key out of my bag and quietly placed it in Heidi's palm. "From 7 to 8 p.m. tonight, the werewolf prison guards will change shifts. I've already taken care of the werewolf guards here, but there's also a group of werewolf guards rotating outside. At that time, take this key, avoid the surveillance cameras, and once you're out of the prison gate, head west and climb over the wall. I'll have someone waiting for you there.'" "Okay, okay." Heidi quickly nodded and tried to pull her hand back. I immediately grabbed her wrist. "I've given you the key, but you promised me you'd tell me everything. If you don't, I'll drag you back the same way I let you out. Clear?" Heidi was taken aback momentarily but quickly nodded in agreement. "As long as you get me out of the prison, I'll tell you everything—no secrets!" Hearing her promise, I smiled in satisfaction, released her hand, and turned to leave the prison. Heidi's POV: I relaxed my fist, staring at the key in my palm, my heart practically bursting with joy. Finally, the evening came. I waited for the right moment, following Wendy's instructions from earlier. As the werewolf guards switched shifts, I quietly took out the key and unlocked the prison gate, moving as quietly as possible. I had been here for a long time and had already figured out the locations of most of the surveillance cameras. Finally, I successfully reached the spot Wendy mentioned—the perfect blind spot, with a building blocking the view, where the werewolf guards on rotation never bothered to check. I shifted into wolf form and quickly jumped over the wall. As soon as I landed, I saw a white sedan parked in front of me. I rushed over, transformed back into human form, opened the car door, and sat in the back seat, only to find Wendy sitting inside, leaning back in the seat with her eyes closed. After hearing the sound, Wendy slowly spoke, "You're out? Let's go." The driver nodded, and as the car pulled away, the streetlights glided past the window, fading behind us. Staring at the passing view, I felt like I'd been given a second chance at life. "Where are we going?" I asked Wendy, looking at her. "You'll know when we get there," she said calmly. Half an hour later, the car stopped in the suburbs. I got out, still a little confused, and was immediately pulled by Wendy into a villa. Inside, the place was full of dust, clearly showing that no one had lived there for a long time. "What is this place?" Wendy ignored my question and crossed her arms, looking at me. "I've kept my promise and got you out. Now, you should tell me the details of when Caden and that Tessa were kidnapped, right? You should understand, I'm not doing this out of charity." "You—" I immediately became alert, realizing why Wendy had brought me here. If I didn't tell her about Caden and Tessa, I might end up dead here today, without even knowing why. Wendy assisted me in my escape from prison—at this point, what would she not dare to do?
