Betsy Russell was at a loss for words, and crying was obviously useless in their current situation.
The space they were in was small, and Isa Hughes was crying pitifully nonstop. Betsy's head started to hurt from all the noise, and she said irritably, "Alright, stop crying. How were you kidnapped?"
"I didn't do anything. I don't know what happened. I just invited my best friend to dinner, and before the food arrived, I lost consciousness." Isa's voice was filled with sobs.
Betsy knocked on the walls of the car interior before advising, "You'd better stop crying if you don't want to die. Calm down and find a way to escape!"
Die?
It was as if Isa was struck by lightning, and she froze in place. Though she used to be willful and capricious, she had changed a lot during her time abroad.
After returning to the Hughes family, everything had changed, and Isa was truly afraid to die. It was only when she attended Sir Drew's funeral that she realized how fragile human life was.
