I shivered, clutching my shawl tighter around me as I sneaked into the packhouse, ragged pants escaping me while I made. my way through the window, trying not to make a sound.

Thankfully, I’d arrived just in time before the guards made another round so I had a few minutes to climb up the window and slip into my room before anyone noticed I was gone.

I licked my bottom lip and ran a hand through my hair, pushing the wet strands back before lifting my hand to the wall and placing my right leg, ready to pull myself up.

You know, I’d done this so many times before whenever I wanted to sneak out, memorized the guards‘ rotation and used it to my advantage to avoid getting caught. But this time, it was harder to climb because I’d been running and swimming for a while, and all my strength was nearly gone.

“Fuck, my arms hurt really bad,” I murmured under my breath, trying my best to climb, nearly losing my footing at one point. Luckily, I grabbed onto a stone on the wall but had to pause and take a deep breath, closing my eyes as my vision blurred for a moment.

Then, suddenly, I heard a calm voice that made me snap my eyes open.

“Do you need some help there, Miss?”

I gasped, eyes widening, and before I could stop it, my hand slipped from the wall in shock, I felt myself falling.

No! No!

I wanted to scream, but no words left my lips as I plummeted toward what should have been my death. I’d climbed quite high, and if I fell, I would surely die.

Just as I was struggling to accept this fate, I felt a pair of arms wrap around my waist, catching my fall.

Time seemed to freeze as I turned to see Zayn, the famous doctor, staring down at me with a look that was part amusement, part surprise–I wasn’t quite sure.

As he held me in his arms, I caught the slight tilt of his lips, his peerless green eyes locked onto mine, and a shiver ran through me. It wasn’t just because of the cold; it felt like his eyes were seeing right through me, as if he could read every one of my thoughts.

It made me uncomfortable.

I swallowed hard as his lips moved, yet I couldn’t hear what he was saying until he tilted his head and spoke clearer.

“Are you okay, Miss? You must have been scared, the fall was pretty high,” he said, and I blinked, snapping out of my daze. I took a deep breath, about to tell him to let me down, but before I could get a word out, the sound of footsteps interrupted

‘me.

My eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets as I heard the voices of the guards.

“This is the last place we’re checking. We’ll rotate again after an hour.”

“Understood!”

Oh goddess, the guards were heading this way.

Chapter 51

My head jerked back to Zayn, and I was about to speak, but before I could, I slapped a hand over my mouth to stop the scream that threatened to spill out as Zayn leaped into the air, carrying me with him toward my window.

Before I knew it, I was back in my room, and I could hear the guards‘ footsteps beneath us as they inspected the area.

No one made a sound, the air was dead silent. I held my breath, ignoring the fact that I was still in the arms of a man I barely

knew.

“Let’s go, this placd seems clear,”

Just as the footsteps faded, I exhaled the breath I hadn’t realized I was holding, my body finally relaxing, only to stiffen all over again when I realized where I currently was.

In Zayn’s arms.

“You are drenched and shivering, Miss. You’ll catch a cold if you stay in those clothes,” he said, a warm and polite smile curving his lips. I wasn’t sure if he genuinely didn’t realize our position, alone in my room or if he simply didn’t care.

Still, I couldn’t be rude to him. He had just saved me, and he was a doctor everyone respected.

“T–thank you. I’m sorry to trouble you, but could you put me down?” I asked, forcing a stiff and nervous smile. He blinked, then muttered an “Ah” before gently setting me on the ground. He stepped back, running a hand through his hair awkwardly.

I quickly stood on my own and adjusted myself, rubbing my clothes as I stared at the floor.

“I apologize for making you uncomfortable. You were about to fall, and I couldn’t let you die. Besides, it looked like you didn’t want them to see you seems like you snuck out,” he said with a light chuckle, and I couldn’t help but raise a brow.

Wow. This man really just said whatever was on his mind, huh?

I shook my head and lowered my gaze.

“No, t–thank you for saving me. I–I appreciate it,” I stammered, my teeth starting to chatter as the cold began to settle deep into my bones. Zayn frowned, tilting his head slightly as he watched me.
