The Cherished Wife (Noelle and Charles) novel Chapter 457

After a while, the door finally opened. Suzy peeked out, giving Cody a once-over before fully opening the door. She looked up at him with a timid expression and croaked, "Cody." Her voice was hoarse, and she appeared utterly exhausted.

Cody shot Suzy a quick nod, a shadow of a smirk flickering in his eyes. "Don’t worry. The coast is clear, and my car’s parked out back. We'll slip away, and no one will be the wiser."

Suzy's tension melted away. "Thanks, Cody!"

"Don't mention it," Cody said, shrugging off his jacket and handing it to Annie. "Wrap up in this, Ms. Atherton. Let’s leave now. I've thrown them off our trail for now, but who knows when they'll catch on?"

"Okay, Suzy. Put on my bro's jacket, and we’ll leave!"

The trio made their escape through the hotel's back door. Suzy was still on edge in the car, her eyes glued to the rear window, half-expecting to see someone following them.

Seeing Suzy's panic, Annie felt a pang of guilt and squeezed her shoulder. "Hey, Suzy, do you want my bro to drop you off at your place?"
