“What happened to her is far worse than anything I ever went through. In my opinion, it’s not enough for her to just get a divorce. The monsters behind all of it should be punished too. Only then could the suffering she endured receive even the smallest bit of justice.”
During the past two days, Queenie had recovered quite a bit.
Hidden on her was a Holoband Ava had helped her get through underground channels, one with no registration and no real-name binding.
Her own device was under surveillance by those two men, so she did not dare send anything important through it.
They had already messaged her, warning her not to say the wrong thing and urging her to leave the hospital and return home to recuperate.
Go back and recover?
If she went back there, she might not survive another day.
Queenie understood better than anyone how ruthless the Yeager family could be. The moment they learned what she intended to do, they would quietly erase her from the world.
Keeping the hidden Holoband tucked away, she slipped into the bathroom, pulled up contact Ava had given her for Sebastian, and sent him a message.
The second it went through, she did not dare linger. She came right back out.

Her every movement was being watched by those two, which was exactly why they were so confident leaving her alone in the hospital.
She waited patiently until night.
Only when the tiny red indicator light in the room stopped flashing and finally went dark did she move again. The surveillance system had been shut off for the moment.
Queenie slid a pillow and a bag full of clean clothes beneath the blanket, shaping it into the outline of a person lying in bed.
Then she hid herself in the bathroom again and checked the reply Sebastian had sent.

Her message to him was almost desperate. “Professor Montclair, can you find a way to get me back to school? I want to recover there. I cannot go back to the Yeager family. If I return, I will
die.
“If possible, please do it in the school’s name. I truly don’t want to drag you into this, Professor Montclair, but right now I have no one else I can depend on. For years, I’ve been secretly collecting certain things connected to the Yeager family. I hid them somewhere very secure. Now I want to hand them over to you.
“I remember every word Mr. Brock said. I want to use what I have on the Yeagers as payment for asking you to represent me in the divorce. Professor Montclair, you are a man with a sense of justice. Thank you for being willing to help me.”

After sending it, Queenie erased everything from the device at once.
Then, to make sure there would be no trace left behind, she took out a stone she had secretly kept from an earlier walk in the hospital garden, smashed the Holoband into pieces, and flushed the fragments away.
Only then did she return to bed.
She glanced once toward the surveillance camera, then lay back down and shut her eyes.
When Queenie was discharged, a teacher from Starry Heavens University came in person to sign for her release, along with a staff member from the Department of Awakened.
A
Because she still had not fully recovered, the teacher also told her to rest in the dorm first and avoid overexerting herself.
The moment she stepped back into her dorm room, the tension wound tightly through her entire body finally eased.
Starry Heavens really was different.
The Yeager family’s hands could not easily reach into that place. There, at least for the moment, she was safe.
As soon as Ava heard Queenie had left the hospital and returned to school to recover, she went to visit her right after lunch.
Queenie seemed to be in fairly decent spirits.
Ava looked at her and asked, “What are you going to do next?”
Queenie answered, “I may have to trouble you again and ask for another unregistered

Holoband. I destroyed the last one and flushed it right after sending that message from the hospital. They installed surveillance software on my real device, so I don’t dare use it for anything important.”
