Chapter 398 The Call for Help

Chapter 398 The Call for Help

According to the original plan, Quinn should’ve escaped days ago. But because of the intense manhunt across Capital City, she still hadn’t found a way out.

Every possible route had been blocked. The second she showed her face, she’d be captured.

And the worst part wasn’t just that she couldn’t appear in public-her accomplice had also been added to the wanted list. It was obvious something had gone wrong on Jose’s end. He’d ratted them out.

“What do we do? Every road is blocked!”

The man with Quinn was nowhere near as composed as she was. With things looking worse by the day, panic crept into his voice.

“Why are you panicking?”

Quinn snapped, clearly annoyed. “This is exactly when you need to stay calm.”

Chastised, the man kept quiet.

Their organization had a strict hierarchy. Quinn outranked him, and he wouldn’t dare talk back.

“Don’t do anything yet. They can’t stay this alert forever. The moment they lower their guard-that’s when we’ll make our move.”

Quinn was firm in her decision.

For now, it was fine. They could order food and stay indoors, minimizing any risk.

Even though the plan was set, Quinn couldn’t suppress her irritation. Her gaze drifted to Dora, curled up in the corner, and a flash of cruelty passed through her eyes.

She’d thought the girl had been fully conditioned by now. But after talking with Johnathan, she realized this little brat had been giving herself away all along. She hadn’t said anything to Sierra or the others, but her behavior had been enough to tip them off..

If it weren’t for this kid, Quinn wouldn’t have been exposed so quickly.

With that thought, Quinn smiled coldly and walked toward Dora. As the child’s eyes filled with terror, Quinn grabbed her and dragged her into the other room.

Not long after, faint whimpering sounds emerged-not because Dora didn’t want to scream, but because Quinn had gagged her.

Afterward, Dora didn’t dare make a sound. Quinn had told her that if she did, her tongue would be cut out.

Chapter 398 The Call for Help

So when Quinn finally emerged, Dora lay curled up, trembling, but silent.

Even the man watching couldn’t help feeling a bit uncomfortable. Still, he said nothing and looked away.

He’d seen countless pitiful people. One more didn’t make a difference.

Still, Black Rose really lived up to her name-she was heartless enough to hurt her own daughter.

Then again, rumor had it this child had been born for the sole purpose of transferring a virus from Quinn’s body.

If that was true, then this girl really was pitiful.

The man only sighed at the thought, then quickly pushed it out of his mind.

Dora lay there shivering, her body freezing cold. There was no one she feared more than Quinn.

She never hit her with fists or kicked her-but she always made her take strange medicines.

As far back as she could remember, Dora had been swallowing pills.

Some made her ache all over. Some did nothing.

But every time she had to take one, she was terrified. She never knew if it would be one that made her scream. Once, the pain was so bad it felt like she was being torn apart-just the brush of someone’s hand felt like being stabbed.

Things had only gotten better after they came back to the country. ‘Mom’ stopped giving her those terrifying pills. And then, she’d met a kind lady.

She missed Sierra so much.

But she couldn’t reach her.

Her watch had been taken away. She had no way to call Sierra anymore.

She didn’t even know what this latest drug was. She just felt like she was dying. Even breathing had become difficult.

Maybe death would be better. At least then, the pain would stop.

But… she just wanted to hear Sierra’s voice one more time.

Dora didn’t even remember how she got up. On shaky legs, she made her way to the room where the man slept. Compared to ‘Mom,’ she wasn’t as afraid of him.

He’d been drinking and was fast asleep. There were only three people in the house. Neither he nor Quinn
