Chapter 512 The Unexpected Visitor

• As I rose from my bed, a hand tightly grasped my arm: "Annon Hushton, you can't leave! This will harm me and jeopardize the love that Huahong and I have worked so hard to build!"
• Startled, I shivered. I had thought Teacher Zhang was asleep, but he was far from foolish. He was aware of the truth! Taking a deep breath, I replied, "Teacher Zhang, as long as I proceed quietly, no one will be aware."
• "But what if? What if you are caught? You are the one I brought here. We are just a few outsiders in the village; if something goes missing, we will all be implicated! You may run away and avoid responsibility, but what about me? I have already disappointed Teacher Hua, and I do not wish to betray the village further, to stab them in the back!" Zhang's grip on my hand tightened as he spoke.
