The Broken-hearted She And The Icy He

Chapter 393 The Girl Who Survived

Chapter 393 The Girl Who Survived

The man had been dead drunk last night and was still passed out. When Jenn heard the sound of police sirens,

she dragged her battered body into the alley next door.

Seeing the police at the Xander family residence, she burst into tears of joy-she was finally going to be rescued.

When she heard them talking about the basement entrance, she knew-another innocent girl had been bought by

those animals Ben and Jerry.

She quickly wiped her tears and said, “The basement entrance is in the Xander family’s kitchen. The hatch is

covered with straw, blended in with the pile on the floor. It’s almost impossible to spot.”

The Xander family’s basement was notoriously well hidden.

Jenn only knew about the entrance because her roommate, Sharon, had been sold to the Xander family.

In the early years after they were both trafficked, they occasionally managed to see each other and even

planned to escape together.

But even though Jenn was sold to a hjust a stone's throw away, she hadn't seen Sharon in three years.

For three long years, she hadn't heard a word. The silence gnawed at her, filling her with constant unease.

And now, with the Xander brothers buying yet another woman, her anxiety had reached its peak.

Enduring the searing pain across her body, Jenn stumbled into the kitchen, lifted the wooden hatch that led to

the basement, and threw it aside.

“The person you're looking for is down there!”

People-how different they can be.

Some, after being caught in the rain, want nothing more than to tear apart someone else’s umbrella.

Like Mathilda.

Terrified of being beaten even more if she got caught escaping again, she never even tried. She sold out Jenn

and Sharon without hesitation.

After the Ginger family found her, she only looked out for herself and did everything she could to keep them-and

the media-from learning that other innocent girls had been trafficked here too.

And speople, after being soaked to the bone, just want to hold out an umbrella for some

Ise.

Like Jenn.

After everything she'd endured-all the pain, all the hopelessness-she just wanted the police to find the newly

sold girl as quickly as possible.

And more than anything, she wanted to take her friend Sharon home.

“Sharon!”

She wanted to see Sharon so badly. Clinging to the edge of the basement entrance, she started to descend

“Lily1”

The hatch had been opened. James's voice grew louder, clearer.

Hearing his urgent tone, seeing him rush down the steps into the basement, Lily’s eyes blurred with tears.

She summoned all her strength and bit Jerry's hand-hard.

As he cried out in pain, she shoved him away with everything she had and shouted, “James, I'm here!”

“Lily...”

When Jenn opened the hatch, James saw a sliver of hope-but also the edge of a nightmare.

He was terrified that what waited for him below was nothing but a cold, lifeless corpse.

But then he heard her voice. Then he saw her face-the one he'd longed for, day and night.

And this man, usually so hard and unshakable, felt his eyes sting with tears.

He charged toward her like a gale of wind and wrapped her in a fierce, unrelenting embrace. The overwhelming

relief of getting her back made his eyes burn.

And he didn’t want to ever let go again.

“James...”

Feeling the warmth of his arms around her, Lily couldn’t stop the sobs from choking her voice.

She knew-they were already divorced. He didn’t love her like that anymore. It wasn’t right for her to hold onto

him so shamelessly.

But she missed him so much. She didn’t care. She clung to him even tighter.

The sudden rush of people into the basement left Ben and Jerry frozen in shock.

Once they recovered, they instinctively tried to grab Lily as a hostage. It was their only shot at escape.

But James didn’t flinch.

Is to buy.

He held Lily close, seemingly unaware of their approach-until the moment they lunged.

Then, in a flash of brutal force, he kicked them both to the ground.

“Hold them down!”
