"Alright, I'll go with you," Zachary said, accompanying Aveline to the storage room door. He took out the key and unlocked the door, and as it swung open, a beam of light flooded in, stirring a layer of dust that danced in the air.
Hilda had been anxiously watching the door. When she saw that it was just them, she let out a huge sigh of relief.
"They... they're gone?" Hilda asked cautiously.
Zachary nodded. "Yes, thanks to the people Aveline brought with her. Otherwise, you would have been taken away. Madam Hilda, who did you offend? They seemed like a dangerous bunch."
Hilda's eyes flickered with unease.
Aveline's gaze was cool as she asked, "Did the person who took my identity send them?"
Hilda avoided her eyes and quickly changed the subject. "When will you take me away from here?"
Aveline's tone remained cold. "Answer my question first."
Hilda sat down on the edge of the bed. "You have to get me out of here before I tell you anything."
Aveline didn't respond immediately.
Zachary, however, frowned and said, "Madam Hilda, you've known who this person is all along, haven't you?"
And she even helped hide it.
But why? Was it for money or some other gain?
Yet the orphanage hadn’t been doing well, and Hilda didn’t seem to have much money herself.
Aveline stepped closer, her eyes fixed on Hilda. Suddenly, she asked, "Is this person someone from the orphanage?"
Hilda’s heart skipped a beat—how had she guessed so accurately?
But she couldn't admit it. Not now.
If she did, what would happen to her?
