Secrets Of The Neglected Wife: When Her True Colors Shine Read Online Free

Chapter 807: A cascade of sparks erupted, slicing through the darkness.

However, no one was there.

By then, Allison and Jareth had already fled elsewhere.

They sprinted down three floors and finally burst out of the stairwell.

This floor had just been searched, room doors flung wide open.

They slipped into one room and ducked into the bathroom for cover.

It looks like were cornered, Mr.

Williamson, Allison gasped, peering at Jareth through the gloom.

Jareths voice was barely a whisper.

No, Ill get us out of here safely.

Verruckts orders were clear, and failure was not an option.

Jareth knew that if he survived but didnt complete Verruckts mission, a fate worse than death awaited him.

Let me see to that wound.

Noticing his discomfort, Allison rummaged through an emergency kit she found in the corner.

With a flick of her wrist, a flashlight beam cut through the darkness.

Jareth slumped against the wall, his hands pressed firmly against his thigh where blood was flowing freely.

All this blood, Allisons voice cracked.

Your favorite tales live at gⱯlnσν????????s．???????????? His injury from the stairwell skirmish was severe.

The blood trail theyd left behind was a ticking clock, counting down to their inevitable discovery.

If we stay, its over for both of us.

Alice, head to the next floor.

Ill cover for you, Jareth said, his voice strained but filled with determination.

Listen, theres a secret passage at the end of the corridor.

Go now! Allisons frown deepened.

No, they have guns! Take this, Jareth said, handing her a gun after ensuring the safety was on.

If you run into any trouble, use it.

Once youre through the secret passage, youll be safe.

He looked down at his injured leg.

I cant go with you any further.

Ill just be buying you some time.

Tears welled up in Allisons eyes as she accepted the gun and stood firm.

Im leaving then.

Take care.

Go, Jareth urged, grimacing with pain.

With a nod, Allison turned and left, her previously feigned fear melting away to reveal a steely resolve.

Click! She carefully re-engaged the safety on the gun, mindful that its loud report should only be a last resort.

She moved toward the right-side stairwell of the building.

Eh-hem… .
