Chapter 143: Rescue

The silence in the darkness was deafening,

no response from Silvia for a long time.

Cyril soon understood what he hadn’t been getting an answer to. Silvia’s silence was her

“It’s okay. I’ve been in the wrong before. You didn’t want to forgive me or give me a chance. That’s normal. But I’ll find a way to prove myself.”

As Silvia slowly spoke, Cyril knew what she wanted to say and instinctively held her tighter.

“And then?”

“And then, I spent a whole day in the basement, and my brothers never found me. I waited until I got tired and fell asleep. When I woke up window in the basement. That’s when I felt scared, alone in the basement. I cried and

shouted, but no one came.‘

At that young age, Silvia felt like the world was ending. No one found her. She locked herself in there, too small to open the door.

So, she cried and shouted in the basement all night, not knowing that her brothers and family were outside, frantically searching for her.

It wasn’t until the next day that someone finally found her and brought her out of the

“I know someone will come to rescue us, but I’ll still be scared. After we get out, can you promise not to tell anyone about this?”

“Don’t worry, this will be our secret. No one will know.”
