All those thoughts weighed heavily on her mind to the point that she felt suffocated.

By the time Sylvie arrived at Baykeep, it was already past four o‘clock in the afternoon.

It was a rainy day at Baykeep,

Although it was still the afternoon, the skies were so dark

and gloomy that it felt as though it was nighttime.

. He was a retired soldier, and his sharp gaze pierced through the heavy rain as he closely monitored th

e surroundings.

It did not take him long to notice that a woman was heading in his direction.

She hunched her right shoulder as though it were injured, and there were mud stains on her white dres

s. She looked disheveled and pitiful.

Once the security guard had a clear look at the woman‘s face, he said frostily, “Ms. Clasen, you‘re not

welcomed here.”

Even I. someone who has worked here for less than three years, know how much Old Mr: Zergler miss

Sylvie did not utter another word. Instead, she walked over to the large iron gates and fell to her knees

on the cold, muddy ground.
