On the other hand, Angela’s mind was in turmoil. She sat on the bed behind him, overwhelmed by feelings of anguish.
Two hours later, Trevor and Jared pulled up in front of the inn, having cleared the mudslide last night. At this moment, they were here to pick Angela up on Richard’s orders.
Angela was downcast when she followed Trevor and Jared out of the inn. Despite her exquisite beauty, she looked lifeless from the inside out, as if she had been tortured and flogged by something intangible.
“Miss Meyers, we’ve received orders that we can now send you back to Averna safely. Please go back with us now to pack up your belongings. We’ll be going to the airport this afternoon,” Jared said somewhat reluctantly.
Angela nodded in silence. “Okay. Thank you for that.”
“Don’t mention it. It’s part of our duty.” Trevor looked at her with sympathy. I thought Angela and Richie would be able to get back together if we pushed her toward him. But now, it seems that things have gotten worse. Richie ordered us to send her back to Averna right away, whereas his whereabouts are unknown.
Angela returned to the base. She had lived here for two months, but now, she found herself somewhat reluctant to leave this place.
At 2:00PM, she got a phone call from Daphne; her family had learned of the good news and was looking forward to her return. At last, her life was no longer in danger. “Angela, I’ll throw a big party for you when you come back so that we can have fun to our heart’s content.”
“It’s not necessary, Mom. I just want to go home and rest as much as I can,” Angela. refused.
“Okay, no problem. Let’s talk about it when you come back. I miss you so much.”
