Chapter 177 Are You Alright

• Joy rushed outside the house and headed straight for the garage. She didn't stop for anything and was determined not to waste the precious time she had to escape because she had no idea when Daniel would return from work. This was the plan she had... she started the car engine and pressed on the brake instead of the accelerator because of how nervous she was and probably because she hadn't driven a car in years... she sat there in the car trying to catch her breath, her hand gripping onto the steering, a cold sweat on her forehead. "I can do this" Joy started to mutter, her eyes started to Scan what she needed to know to drive and after studying for just a few seconds she started the car and drove right out of the estate... as the Estate slowly started to fade away and disappeared from her view... a feeling that joy hadn't felt in years started to overshadow and overwhelm her and her eyes became blurred with tears... "I did it!" she said in a low voice... "I freaking did it!" she said again, but this time her voice was louder and she slammed her hand on the steering wheel... she looked back and took one last glance at the estate before increasing the speed of the car.
• Joy drove for hours and hours, and she wasn't sure how long she had been driving, but when she got to the gas station, it was afternoon already... she picked up her scarf and let out a deep breath as she came out of her car to get some gas. When she was done. She paid with the cash Martha gave her and got something to eat from the small store at the gas station because of how famished she was. She glanced at the cashier as she paid for what she was buying and her heart rate increased because she was afraid she would recognise who she was and inform Daniel about it. But the cashier didn't seem to care about who Joy was; the only thing she cared about was why Joy kept glancing at her suspiciously and why she kept covering her face with a scarf. "Thank you..." The cashier wasn't done talking before you snatched what she bought and hurriedly left the place..
• Joy let out a deep breath of relief when she was back in her car... she stayed put for just a few minutes before she started her Car engine and drove. As she drove by places, a sad smile appeared on her face. A sad smile appeared on her face when she thought about how she hadn't been outside for years. If people asked of her, Daniel always lied that she was on a trip or she wasn't well. He didn't even let her go to the store herself... he kept her locked up and away from freedom.
