It was over. That even scarier electric chair Yale mentioned was about to be her one-way ticket.
The chair sounded like bad news, and her tiny frwould not stand a chance. No. She could not just sit around
waiting for the end. She had to get out of there! Lydia pressed herself against the door, desperate for a plan,
feeling utterly hollow. The door to her room, which was always locked up tight, was surprisingly left ajar.
Lydia crept out of her room, her eyes darting around to catch any sign of movement. However, the hallway was
eerily empty.
Only after she vanished down the stairwell did a shadowy figure at the end of the corridor peek out.
He tapped his Bluetooth earpiece and said with utmost respect, "Boss, Lydia is on the move."
Yale's face lit up when he got the update from his guy on the ground. He barked out an order. "Keep on her tail,

Evangeline was right.
Lydia stepped out of the Foster family's security tower and did not waste a second before flagging down a taxi,
asking to be taken to the heart of Avalon City's bustling downtown. However, she was not just sitting back and

Sir, could I use your phone for a moment? | rushed out without mine. | just need to call my daughter, and she'll
cover the fare, okay?"
The driver eyed her warily in the rearview mirror before handing over his phone. "Make it quick."
