Sienna wiped her tears with a tissue as she nodded. “No one knew it will rain today. His rheumatism
has flared up, and the pain is too much for him.”
Annie sighed as well, the look in her eyes revealing traces of genuine sympathy.
She promptly decided to seize the opportunity and continued persuading, “Mrs. Harris, you shouldn’t
hesitate anymore. If this continues, Mr. Asher might very well be tortured to death. He used to be one
of the most prominent figures in Chanaea, a top pilot, and even the director of the Federal Bureau of

Gwendolyn to pay the price for tormenting Asher.”
Annie smiled warmly and replied, “Certainly.”
After spending some time by Asher’s sickbed in the master bedroom, Annie returned to her own room
and sent a text message to Paul.
In truth, Paul had arrived in Salinsburgh a couple of days ago, tired of maintaining a long–distance
relationship with his girlfriend. He had checked into a nearby hotel, unable to bear the separation any
