Was that an order to murder Henry? The servant was scared but he accepted the order. "Yes, Mr. Anthony."

"Emma." Adam returned to the room. "Do you want to take a stroll? Get some sun?"

"No." No one in the right mind would want to hang out with his or her perverted captor.

"There is a hill nearby where you can find all sorts of plants. You can also ride a horse if you feel like it. You sure you want to pass on it?" Adam didn't relent.

Emmeline was about to decline but something crept into her mind. If plants were bountiful, there must be herbs that could counter the drug in her body. She might have lost her sight but she could still rely on her other senses!

"All right," said Emmeline reluctantly.

Adam was overjoyed. He immediately summoned his servants. "Please give Miss Louise a new set of clothes. We are taking a stroll shortly."

"Yes, Mr. Anthony." The servants retrieved an outfit suitable for trekking from the dressing room.

"Let me help you get changed, Miss Louise," said the servant politely.

"Is..." Emmeline blinked. "Is Mr. Green still here?"

The servant looked at Adam. "No, Mr. Anthony has left the room."

"But I didn't hear any footsteps."

"I can assure you that he has left."

"I should get changed in the bathroom." Emmeline still had her misgivings.

Adam just waved his hand and beckoned the servant to go into the bathroom. While Emmeline was getting changed, he exited the room. After a while, he knocked on the door.

"Emma, are you ready?"

So he was truly waiting outside.

"Yes, I am," answered Emmeline.

"Should we go now?" Adam entered the room and dragged Emmeline by her arms.
