Chapter 239 | This is not the end
Isella opened her eyes in the dark. She panicked. She wasn’t in her bed. She felt a hard floor beneath her. Where was she? Did she fall out of bed?
No, her room had a wooden floor. This was stone. Isella hurriedly sat up. Her head was spinning.
“H-Huh…?”
It was dark. Isella rubbed her eyes. But she couldn’t see anything clearly.
Why? Her room had large windows. It couldn’t be this dark. She groped around hastily. She touched something.
“AHHH!”
It was a human hand. Isella screamed in terror. But the hand covered her mouth. Terrified, Isella scratched at the hand with her nails. The person behind her groaned in pain.
“…Ugh, Isella… stay still.”
It was a familiar voice. But Isella couldn’t calm down and struggled.
“Isella, calm down.”
The other person calmly pressed down with strength, and gradually, Isella’s strength waned, and she came to her senses. Even in the pitch darkness, the voice was clear. Soft yet firm. Before her eyes adjusted to the darkness, she knew who it was.
