Chapter 15: Damsel In Distress
Eira turned to Jania and gave her a tight smile. "Can't you tell him to let me go? Why the hell is he sniffing me like this?!"
"I'm sorry, but he won't listen to me. Why don't you try telling him—"
Eira glared at her. "What the hell do you think I've been doing?"
"What I mean is... try talking to him softly. He might listen."
Eira raised an eyebrow, clearly not believing a word. "Really?"
"Yes," Jania sighed, gesturing for Eira to go ahead. "Why don't you try?"
Internally, Jania prayed the girl would succeed and that Lyle would listen, just so they could leave. She also needed to call Doctor Liam as soon as possible.
Eira sighed. "Alright," she muttered, realizing she had no other choice.
"Hey, hey—"
"Lyle, that's his name," Jania instructed, ignoring the death glare Eira shot her for cutting her off.
Eira huffed and tried again. "Lyle? Lyle."
