WorldNovelChapter 371: Being humiliated by none other than his ex-wife was like a heavy weight pressing on his chest.
No matter how much he tried to push her out of his thoughts, she kept resurfacing.
Still, he reminded himself that Melany was the one who truly mattered to him.
Melany blinked in surprise at his suggestion.
The Underground? Isnt it quite brutal there? Her heart raced.
The Underground was exactly where she and Hoyt had been plotting, and any disruptions now could ruin their plans.
Trying to hide her nervousness, she tugged gently on Coltons sleeve, her eyes wide and pleading.
Youre still recovering from your injuries.

If you really need something done, lethandle it.
I can bring a few people for safety.
Colton, seeing her anxious expression, felt a wave of guilt.
He reached out and gently patted her head.
Well go together.
Ill feel better that way.
But its funny, how did someone as timid as you ever risk your life to save He said it as a lighthearted joke, but Melany tensed for a split second, her nerves showing through.
Trying to appear calm, she replied, When you care about someone, you dont think twice about taking risks.
I just wanted to help you.
Her words seemed genuine enough, and Colton didnt doubt her.

Her eyes drifted to her phone, still concerned about Hoyt and the plans theyd made.
She could only hope he was safe and that everything would proceed smoothly.
Meanwhile, far from their schemes, peace reigned in Emanuels cozy courtyard in Athton.
Emanuels two cats had just curled up in Allisons lap when they suddenly jumped up their backs arched and eyes full of disdain, as if offended by the scent of another cat. Meow, one of the cats wailed accusingly, as if Allison had betrayed them by playing with other felines.
She already had her own cat at home, but she had the audacity to spend twith regall creatures like them, as if they were any ordinary pets. Amused, Allison petted them gently before grabbing a bag of cat food to appease them.
While feeding the cats, she turned to Kellan and asked, Are you planning to go to the Underground tomorrow? She knew Hoyt couldnt be trusted.
