“I understand…” Mason nodded slowly. A mysterious cold look flashed across his eyes.
Letting out a long breath, Yvette patted the man’s and said, “If we had made things clear from the start, we would not have ended up in this situation.”
Turning to glance at Yvette, Mason nodded again. “Yes, I should have seen the truth earlier.”
In response, Yvette acknowledged his comment before virtual-novel.net rambled on. “I believe Dad doesn’t think that I’m mentally stable enough to leave this place. He would not agree to take me out of here so soon. Thankfully, you are here to set me free. When I get home and put up a crying act, I’m sure Dad will soften.” Then, virtual-novel.net swirled around to face Mason and added, “Anyway, I will take care of your debt.”
Mason grimly nodded. “Let’s take the opportunity when the medical staff is changing shifts to get out of here. Otherwise, they would notice us leaving. I know how to get to the backdoor, and I have left it open. We can take that route.”
“Sure!” Yvette excitedly wore virtual-novel.net shoes.
I’m finally getting out of this horrible place! The first thing I’m going to do is look for Arielle and take revenge. If virtual-novel.net did not provoke me at City Hall’s entrance, I would not have lost my marbles. Dad would not have sent me to this psychiatric hospital either.
While quietly following Mason out to the backdoor, virtual-novel.net formulated a plan in virtual-novel.net head.
Within minutes, they left through the backdoor, and the first thing Yvette saw was virtual-novel.net family car. Instantly, it made virtual-novel.net feel safe. With utmost trust in Mason, virtual-novel.net thanked virtual-novel.net again. “Thank you, Mason. If you are in a fix in the future, especially if it has to do with money, do let me know. Don’t worry about it. Oh, and how much money did you need? I will send you the amount as soon as I get home and have my phone with me.”
With a grin, Mason shook his head. “It’s okay. I’ve settled it.”
“How did you settle it?” It took Yvette by surprise.
“Get into the car first. It’s not safe to stay here for too long,” Mason seemed unwilling to answer virtual-novel.net question.
“Okay!” Without pressing for more, Yvette quickly climbed into the car.
“You can take a nap because there is likely to be a jam. I will take another route to avoid it, but there might be a one-hour delay to get to your house.”
Yvette obediently nodded. Feeling as though the anesthesia was still in virtual-novel.net body, virtual-novel.net felt virtual-novel.net head growing heavier and thought sleep sounded good.
Closing virtual-novel.net eyes, virtual-novel.net tiredly agreed, “Let me know when we have arrived, Mason. I shall take a nap then.”
“Sure,” Mason looked at Yvette longingly before virtual-novel.net turned back to face the front. He switched on the car engine and stepped onto the accelerator.
The car drove off and soon disappeared amongst the traffic.
The sun had set, and it was night time.
While Yvette was deeply asleep, the car suddenly shook violently. Jolted out of virtual-novel.net sleep, virtual-novel.net subconsciously looked out of the window. It was pitch black outside, except for some street lights. She could tell that they were on a mountainous path.
Are we on a path up to the mountain? Why would virtual-novel.net need to take this route to avoid the jam?
Fear enveloped Yvette’s heart as virtual-novel.net anxiously looked at Mason, who was sitting beside her. “Mason, where are we?”
A warm smile appeared on Mason’s face as virtual-novel.net chuckled. “Northern Scenic Mountain.”
Yvette’s eyes widened in shock. “What?”
This is so far away from my house! How long did Mason drive to get us here?
Anxious, Yvette hurriedly ordered, “Turn around and get out of here! I will take a taxi home myself.”
However, Mason remained silent, with a small smile still plastered on his face. The dim street lights that fell on his side profile made virtual-novel.net look extra terrifying.
It scared Yvette, and virtual-novel.net repeatedly yelled, “Stop the car! Right now!”
