At night, after putting Lori to sleep in Anxia's room, Anxia sneaked out and headed to her husband's room. As soon as the door opened, Anxia didn't mince words and reveal her purpose for coming here.
"Richard, you've been putting off all day, leaving me in the dark. Now tell me how you saved Meng Meng and where she is now."
"All right, come inside."
"…"
Richard had opened the door wide to let his wife in, but Anxia stayed still.
"Does it have to be inside? Can't we talk outside? It looks like the air at night is especially nice today." Anxia would not be fooled into going back into the lions' den only to give herself up for this man's meal.
Anxia felt quite lucky because her daughter saved her in time this afternoon. But now Lori was fast asleep in her room and would only wake up tomorrow morning. Who would save her if Richard threw another trap again and she was lured into entering it?
