The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 2611

Time ticked away, minute by minute, until it was early morning. The three of them huddled together and pretended to sleep. In reality, Lucas and Henry were keeping their ears peeled for any sounds outside. Among them, only Claudia had managed to fall asleep.

The events of the day had been too intense, and under the exhaustion of the night, she involuntarily drifted off to sleep. Henry felt particularly protective seeing Claudia sleeping with a frown.

Regardless, this was their only chance to escape. When he heard the guards starting to snore, Henry opened his eyes, only to meet a pair of exceptionally bright eyes. Lucas had not been sleeping either.

"Just wait a little longer," Lucas silently mouthed to him.

It was only midnight, and the kidnappers had not yet entered deep sleep. Escaping then would be risky; the best time would be between one and three o'clock in the morning.

"Got it," Henry gestured, then closed his eyes again, pretending to doze off.

He still felt a dull ache in his chest. His body had become stiff from lying against the wall for a long period, but he did not dare to move. Sometimes, he even felt a bit short of breath, but this position seemed to offer some comfort.

It was 1 a.m., and the two of them cautiously began untying the ropes. Unexpectedly, it was Lucas who first broke free from the hemp ropes binding his hands. He had been carefully working on this task since the afternoon.

As soon as his hands were freed, he immediately removed his blindfold. He then held his breath and carefully listened for any sounds outside. After confirming that there were no other noises besides the snores, he proceeded to untie the ropes on Henry's feet.
