Reborn with Nothing but My Farm and Vengeance in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 183

Chapter 183: Chapter 183

Melody Summers followed Albus’s directions, taking the emergency stairwell from Room 1108 down to the second basement level.

Perhaps Flynn Adler and his men were so certain the women couldn’t escape from the basement that, aside from the thugs guarding the elevators, there weren’t many people patrolling the area.

As the two of them stared in shock, Melody Summers calmly closed the door.

When Albus had come to the second basement level looking for people earlier, he had only found Nina Summers in this room. Melody hadn’t expected Joelle Lawson to be here now as well.

Standing at the door just a moment ago, Melody Summers had faintly overheard the two of them talking. When Adam Lawson died, she had wondered why Noelle Quillan and Joelle Lawson were nowhere to be found.

To think that Adam Lawson had actually just sold the mother and daughter off...

Seeing Melody Summers walk in looking so calm, Nina Summers was stunned—she hadn’t expected Melody to actually come!

’...Since Melody is here, does that mean I can go now?’

Before Nina Summers could speak, Joelle Lawson rushed past her and stepped in front of Melody Summers.

Joelle Lawson wore a bizarre expression, a mixture of shock and glee. Meeting Melody Summers’s confused gaze, she asked, "What are you doing here? Don’t tell me... you and your mom were sold off by him too?!"

Melody Summers frowned slightly, but the smile on Joelle Lawson’s face only grew wider until she looked positively thrilled.

She continued, "I knew it! I knew it! If he sold me and my mom, there was no way you and your mom would get a happy ending! We haven’t lost to you!"

Melody Summers was rendered speechless by Joelle Lawson’s words. ’At a time like this, Joelle still has the energy for these comparisons? Is there something wrong with her?’

Ignoring the manic excitement on Joelle Lawson’s face, Melody Summers walked straight to Nina Summers and asked in a cold voice, "Nina Walsh, you said you ran away and needed comforting. What’s all this, then?"

Nina Summers was surprised that Melody had actually come.

They weren’t on good terms. If she were in Melody’s shoes, she never would have come.

And yet, Melody had actually come... At that thought, a wave of gratitude washed over Nina, but it was immediately followed by a surge of anxiety and guilt.

Influenced by her mother, Mindy Walsh, and her father, Caleb Summers, Nina had never liked Melody. But it was just dislike; she had never wished for Melody to die.

Nina knew it was her fault Melody was here. She avoided her cousin’s gaze and mumbled, "I... I was really going to run away... but they caught me..."

Melody Summers scoffed. "So, you knew these people were bad news, and you still deliberately lured me here to die?"

Overwhelmed by a potent wave of guilt, Nina didn’t know how to answer Melody. All she could do was stammer, "I’m sorry, I’m sorry, but I... I had no choice. If I didn’t do what they said, they... they were going to harvest my organs! I don’t want to die..."

Over the past few days, Nina had watched the other girls who were kidnapped alongside her die, one by one. For someone who had lived such a sheltered life, the shock was simply too much to bear.

With that, Nina didn’t dare ask if she could leave. She just pulled the blanket over her head and began to sob quietly.

Melody scoffed. She knew Nina hadn’t really had a choice, but she’d wanted to confirm whether her cousin had been forced to lure her here.

If Nina had willingly conspired with Flynn Adler to harm her, Melody wouldn’t have let her off the hook this time. After all, this was the second time Nina had done something like this. Melody could forgive her once, maybe twice, but not a third time. She wouldn’t keep such a threat around.
