Having returned from a beating, Hua Jin struggled to kneel on the ground and vomited a mouthful of blood after the thugs left. He looked up and struggled to move in Alice's direction based on a blurry memory of where she would be.
His hands and feet were bound by chains. In order to prevent him from escaping, his eyes were also blindfolded. He moved to Alice's feet and immediately leaned his back against hers, and also sideways against the wall.
Alice held out her hand. Immediately after, he stretched out his fingers and strenuously wrote on her palm. With the strokes he wrote, Alice struggled to identify the words.
The actor wrote a few lines.
"Just then… Gong Jie video-called them to confirm if we're still alive."
"Looks like he's about to make a move."
"Alice, don't give up. We will be okay."
…
Alice took a deep breath, as if the wounds on her face had gradually stopped hurting.
