Kisa's heart skipped a beat, thinking it was Peter returning. But when she looked closer, it was Gilbert. He had somehow managed to get a car and was leaning against the door, waiting for her.

“Aren't you leaving yet?" the man impatiently urged when he saw Kisa frozen in place.

Kisa quickly helped Jolina and moved toward the car, wondering why Gilbert was suddenly willing to help her.

She looked at his cold, tense profile for a moment before finally murmuring, "Thank you."

Gilbert ignored her and started the car. As they merged onto the main road, he suddenly asked, 'Do you know where you're going?"

Kisa hesitated and looked toward Jolina, who was staring down with a trembling lip. Kisa let out a sigh and said, "Let's find a hotel for now."

“A hotel?" Gilbert chuckled. "This is Oceanville. Peter will find her in no time."

Kisa was crestfallen, but Jolina suddenly spoke up, her voice slow but firm. "It's okay. I'll try to leave the city. He won't find me."

Kisa hugged Jolina tightly and reassured her. "Don't worry. We'll get you to a place where he can't find you."

Gilbert only smirked and took them to a small, unremarkable hotel where he used someone else's ID to check them in. After sending Jolina to the room, Kisa went to buy some food and clothes for her.

When she came back, Jolina was huddled in the corner, shivering. Kisa's heart ached for her, and she rushed over to hug her, whispering, "It's okay. We'll leave this place and go somewhere where he'll never find us."

Jolina shook her head, tears streaming down her face as she cried out, "He won't let me go. Wherever I go, he will find me. I never knew he was such a paranoid person. Before, he would force me, but he never imprisoned me like this. Kisa, he is becoming more and more terrifying. I shouldn't have met him in the first place or gotten involved in his affairs. If I could turn back time, I would never have anything to do with him."

Jolina spoke in a panicked tone and gasped for air as she finished, collapsing into Kisa's embrace and struggling to catch her breath.

Gilbert stood by the window, smoking a cigarette. The snow outside was falling harder and harder, as if it were the night the prison caught fire. He could not help but turn to Kisa and feel grateful that she was still alive. All the resentment and hatred did not matter as long as she was alive. If she wanted GK or everything he had, it did not matter.

As the cigarette burned down, he extinguished it and said to Kisa, " Let's go back."

Kisa pursed her lips and said, "You can go back without me. I'll stay here with her tonight."

Before Gilbert could say anything, Jolina quickly interjected, "No need, Kisa. You don't have to stay with me. I'm fine. You should go back with Mr. Kooper while Peter is still not around. This way, he won't suspect anything on your heads. Plus I'm sure you came to Oceanville for a reason, don't let my situation delay it."

Kisa wanted to say something, but Jolina pushed her and said, "Go back with Mr. Kooper. I really am okay. My parents and brother are waiting for me at home. Once I'm well enough, I will go back too."

As Jolina spoke, her tearful eyes were filled with determination and hope.

‘Yes, she is different from Lea. She has her family's love, but Lea had nothing except Anthony. She won't do anything foolish like Lea did.' Kisa thought, tightening her grip on Jolina's hand.

"I'll go deal with Peter first, and I'll come see you early tomorrow. Rest well, and once you're feeling better, I'll take you out of Oceanville."
