The sky was drizzling outside the prison early in the morning.
Roxanne and Lucian waited quietly in their Rolls-Royce until the large iron gate slowly opened.
Colby, still wearing his prison uniform, listened to the middle-aged prison warden's advice. “Be a good person after you leave this place, and don't make any more mistakes.”
He nodded, curling the corner of his lips into a relieved smile. “I will, Mr. Zagami. When I find a new job and earn money, I will definitely come back to visit you. Thank you for always helping me.”
“You're most welcome. You don't need to come back here anymore. It's bad luck! Just get on with your life. Go on,” said the middle-aged prison warden with a faint smile.
Colby assumed no one would be there to pick him up, so he didn't pay any attention to the Rolls-Royce parked outside either.
An astonished expression spread across his face when he noticed Lucian showing up while holding Roxanne's hand to help her get out of the vehicle.
“Colby, you're finally out.” Lucian grinned slightly.
Initially, they thought they would have to wait a few more months before Colby was released. Unexpectedly, the latter's sentence was reduced because of his good behavior in jail.
The expression in Roxanne's eyes was calm and gentle. Having already forgotten past grievances, she nodded at Colby. “Hello, Mr. Galloway. Welcome back!”
Colby was utterly astounded, for he had never expected the couple to pick him up, let alone that Roxanne would give him a chance to return to the research institute.
