“If there’s anyone with sinister motives, it’s David!”
Alyssa stared at him calmly.

“Axel will be back tonight, too? That’s great! I miss him so much!” Alyssa rubbed her eyes, and hervoice choked up a bit.
Perceptive as always, Jonah quickly picked up on Alyssa’s emotions and said, “My bad. Axel plannedto keep his return a surprise for you, but I got carried away and accidentally let it slip.”
“Jonah, I don’t need surprises. I just want everyone to be with me.”

“Lyse, are you in Solana City, at the hospital where David is?”
“Yeah.”
“I’ll come pick you up.”

“It’s not just my idea. It’s also Dad’s.”

“Hurry up and untie me!”
Julien kicked his legs.
“The blood in my whole body can’t circulate! I’m suffocating!”

“What?”
“Wait for Axel to come and release you.”
Jonah locked eyes with him, and a faint smile played on his lips.
“If you run away, I’m afraid I won’t be able to catch you. The person who tied you up should be the oneto untie you, right?”
