Amos’s people watched Stella every day, determined to stop her from escaping.
And Stella spent every waking moment thinking about how to get away.
She had already worked out a rough route.
But she still had no idea how to slip past Remi and Seymour.
“What about you?” Stella asked. “Do you have any plans?”
“Not yet,” Jennifer replied.
She had no idea what she wanted to do next either.
“Focus on recovering first,” Stella said. “That’s the most important thing right now. Leon still hasn’t had time to turn his full attention toward you.”
At the moment, Leon was still occupied with Monique’s situation.
Once that was resolved, he would undoubtedly turn Harbor City upside down looking for Jennifer.
In truth, he was already searching for her.
“You need to be careful too,” Jennifer said. “Your situation is so complicated now, and there’s nothing I can do to help.”
Her voice was filled with emotion.
Stella had been able to protect her.
But Jennifer could do nothing for Stella in return.
She had once believed that Stella’s return to Eirden would finally bring everything to a peaceful conclusion.
Who could have known it would only mark the beginning of another storm?
They spoke for a little longer before ending the call.
Remi remained glued to Stella’s side.
For an entire month.
Throughout that month, Remi barely left her for a moment, while Seymour watched for any attempt to escape.
Stella had already planned her route out of Sevi Valley.
But the two of them guarded her so closely that she never found an opportunity to use it.
Even though Stella behaved perfectly normally and gave no indication that she intended to leave, neither of them relaxed their vigilance in the slightest.
After a full month, Stella finally exploded.
“Are you ever going to stop?”
Whatever patience she had left was completely gone.
Stella had always considered herself fairly even-tempered.
Unless someone pushed her beyond her limits, she rarely lost her temper.
