Chapter 142:
It had begun.
Though I didn’t know what had started, it certainly couldn’t be anything good. I hastily looked through the corridor window. An ominous light was flashing from the direction of the harbour.
“…!”
I grabbed Liam’s hand and ran like a madwoman. The maze-like corridor had somehow shortened. Whether the length had been reduced or my eyes had found the right path could be pondered later. I burst out through the door and, without pause to catch my breath, let go of Liam’s hand.
“I have to stop it.”
Liam stared at where my hand had slipped away, then nodded. I could see him trying to hide his anxiety with a smile. I probably looked the same way. Pretending not to be scared even though I was terrified.
He urged me:
“Just focus on coming back. Jane.”
“I will.”
