Ari didn't stop to see his reaction, the second he let go of her, she sprinted as fast as she could.
Now she had to get away from not only the bodyguards left behind by Noah but also Nicolai. If she was caught, then Ari knew that it was going to be game over for her.
Thus, she ran as if she were the last batter of her team and the team depended on her to hit the base as fast as possible. Ari found herself battling against the time as it ticked past, again. However, there was nothing new about this, it had always been like this, and maybe it would be like this always.
With her bare feet, Ari rushed out of the hospital and then headed down the street. The sense of apprehension was quickly replaced by a shot of adrenaline, as well as the inherent need to escape from everything that suffocated her.
She needed to get away as far as possible. So far, no one would be able to reach her.
Free. She wanted to be free.
