After having dinner, Adam returned to his bedroom early to rest, leaving only Thomas and Chloe sitting in the living room as they watched TV.

Suddenly, Thomas remembered that he had turned his phone off to avoid outside distractions when he went into retreat to tone up his body. It was time to turn it back on, so he quickly powered it on.

Shortly after, his phone started ringing. Thomas checked it and found that it was an unknown number with the area code belonging to Capitalis.

“Hello?” Thomas answered the call.

“Thomas!” Olivia’s voice came from the other end of the line. “You finally turned on your phone!”

The young woman had been attempting to reach Thomas using Gwen’s phone repeatedly since waking up. However, it kept showing that he was unreachable.

“Are you doing alright, Olivia?”

“I’m okay. The Travises have been taking good care of me. They even made me the medicine according to the prescription you asked Mr. Hofstead’s friend to deliver the other day.” Olivia’s voice became teary as she continued, “Are you done dealing with your business, Thomas? Gunnar Flynn, that b*stard, brought me to Capitalis. If you don’t have anything important, can you come and pick me up? I’m really scared.”

Thomas’ heart ached upon hearing her sob as if it had been pricked by a needle.

“Alright, don’t cry anymore. Stay there and don’t go anywhere. I’ll come and pick you up tomorrow.”

“Alright, I’ll be waiting. Don’t forget,” Olivia said, urging him with a pitiful voice.

She felt extremely helpless right then. Thomas was the only person she could trust in this massive world, and only by his side could she feel some sense of security.

“Don’t worry, I won’t forget!”
