Chapter 88 Light In The Darkness

• Upon hearing the gunshot, my body tenses immediately. Instinctively, I try to move, feeling relief as I realize the bullet hasn’t grazed me. My gaze quickly shifts to where Isabella has fallen. With a strong kick, I pushed the chair she was tied to, hoping the impact of the fall hasn’t hurt her.
• I watch Isabella with eyes filled with anguish, but her concern dissipates when she sees that I’m safe. My attention returns to Ericka, curled up in a fetal position on the floor. I don’t hear her whimpering, but I can see she’s still moving, which brings me some relief.
• Reynolds approaches silently from the side. I see him enter through a small door, still holding the gun in his hand. With a swift movement of his foot, he pushes Ericka’s weapon away from her reach. Ericka remains on the floor, balled up. Meanwhile, Dalton takes out his phone, calling for medical help for Ericka and also notifying the police.
