Chapter 80
We went out of our hiding place and saw Maxence holding a rifle.
His eyes widened.
“I thought you’re an enemy.”
“You bastard. You almost shot Nass!” Maxence looked away at Dale’s statement.
“It’s okay.” He looked at me and nodded.
“I found them.” He spoke to what seems like his other companions through his earpiece.
“Help!” I turned to where we just came from.
Is there still someone prisoned in there…?
I took a deep breath and went closer to Maxence to let him carry Brylle.
“Take care of him.” His eyebrows creased.
“What? No. Take care of him yourself.” I shook my head at him.
“I have to free the other prisoners. So please, take care of him.” He glared at me before approving on carrying Brylle.
I flashed a smile at him before meeting Keian’s eyes.
I held both of his cheeks again while his face was still wearing a cold expression.
I searched for something in his eyes but it feels like nothing is there.
I tried to force a smile at him and pressed our foreheads against each other.
“If anything happens, I want you to make sure that Brylle is safe. Especially Tiya.” He narrowed his eyes at me but had no choice but to nod and lower his head.Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
I winced at his silent response.
“Get out of here.”
I lightly rubbed my thumb over his cheeks and went back to where we came from earlier.
“Hello?” I called to the long line of rooms in here.
“H-Help!” I walked towards a room and quickly opened its door.
My eyes felt alive as I saw three women inside.
“Thank you! You have to free the others. Please.” I nodded and one by one opened the doors that were locked.
Other rooms have five people in them, sometimes just one.
“Nay Flores!?” I shockingly called an old woman whose face looks awfully familiar to me.
Her eyes widened in surprise and immediately ran over to hug me.
“Pat!” I can’t believe this…
I thought she was dead!
“Pat. You’ve grown so much!”
She was my governess up until I was sixteen years old. But sadly we heard the news about her death. We even went to her funeral that time.
“H-How?” She gives me a sad look.
“I knew about your Lolo killing your Lola so he imprisoned me and made it look like I was dead.” I almost lost my balance upon hearing the information…
“Lolo was the one who killed Lola?!” She nods.
“Is everyone okay?” I turned to a man whose face also looked familiar.
Everyone responds a yes to him as if he was their leader.
Nay Flores also noticed me look at him.
No…
“Most of us have been here for a long time… He’s been captured 3 years ago but we let him act as our leader. Such a sweet child.” The guy turns to me and held my hand before letting out a beam.
“Thank you… Thank you for saving us. We heard the noise outside so we figured someone attacked Maximo.” He has the same accent… and the same face as Tito Andre, just a bit younger.
I took a step back, shocked as ever.
“Are you okay?” I can even see Keian’s features in his!
“Kayden?” He furrowed his eyebrows.
“Pat? You know Kayden?” I gulped before turning back to Nay Flores.
“He is Keian’s sibling.”
“Keian? Do you mean Kei? You know my brother?”
“You’re supposed to be dead!” I said out of shock.
“That’s Maximo’s tactic. To let you all believe that we’re dead.”
Almost everyone who I thought were dead are actually alive.
Is there a possibility that my parents are still alive?
I shook my head.
I saw them die right before my eyes.
But that wouldn’t stop the fact that I badly want to see them again.
“Hey!” I turned to where the voice came from and shot the man before he could even point his gun at us.
Then I turned back to Kayden.
“You all need to get out of here.” I handed him the gun.
“Make sure everyone’s okay.” We stared at each other for a moment.
“Of course.”
I held his hand lightly.
“If I’m unable to come back, tell everyone I have something for them under my bed at the maid’s quarters.” I smiled as I remembered what I left in that room before leaving the mansion.
“Make sure they see it. And tell Keian…” I tightened my grip on him.
“That I love him so much…” He turns to me and glared.
Heh. They had the very same reaction…
“You will tell them yourselves. Especially to Kei.” His hands reached my cheek as he wipes a tear that escaped from my eye.
“You’re going to tell Kei that you love him…” I smiled at him with a righteous nod.
“Go. I still have to go somewhere.” He pats my head before leaving with the other prisoners that followed him.
I took a deep breath before walking back to the room where Lolo is.
But before I could even get there, I saw Diego lying down on the cold floor.
“Diego!” He looks up at me and slightly lets out a smile.
“Nass. I’m glad you’re okay.”
There’s a pool of blood on where he is…
I went over to him and checked his wounds.
He’s been shot on the stomach and on his chest.
“You have to get out of here. The Marques’ planted bombs everywhere.” I gasped upon hearing what he said.
“We need to leave this place.” I tried assisting him back up but he purposely weights himself down.
“What the heck, Nass! Just leave! You still have someone you need to take care of. Get out of here!” I ignored him and with all my strength, I tried making him stand back up.
“Nass…” I sat on the floor with him as he coughs out a lot of blood.
“Just get out! Leave me here! I know that Trikj gave you the key to run away from this place! Why did you come back?!” I narrowed my eyes at him.
“I’m not leaving here without you. And I have to make sure Lolo will be dead…” I said, leaning my back against the wall.
