The moment Ronald got the news, he didn’t care about exposing himself. He used every resource at his disposal to search for her.

But even so, it seemed he was still a step too late.

Meeting Ronald’s worried gaze, Tracy suddenly felt a wave of grievance well up inside.

She meant to say she was okay, but as soon as she opened her mouth, her eyes started welling up with

tears.

She quickly lowered her gaze, blinked a few times, and shook her head, saying nothing.

Ronald could tell she wasn’t hurt, but he could see she wasn’t okay. He didn’t ask anything-he just picked her up into his arms.

Tracy didn’t resist. She wrapped her arms around Ronald’s neck and buried her face in his chest.

She wasn’t as tough or exceptional as everyone thought. She’d been holding on alone for so long, and she was just so tired.

So just this once, she let herself be weak.

Only for a little while…

That’s what Tracy told herself.

Once Ronald brought her home, she collected her emotions and returned to her usual calm, indifferent self.

She smoothed her messy hair. “I’m going to wash up.”

Without looking at Ronald, she lowered her gaze and started toward the bathroom, but her wrist was suddenly caught.

For the first time, Ronald brought up something Tracy had never wanted to talk about. “CeeCee, the people who kidnapped you-are they from Angelic Etiquette Academy?”

Tracy snapped her head up, shock and disbelief flooding her expression.

How did he know about Angelic Etiquette Academy?

She said nothing, but the look in her eyes told Ronald everything he needed to know.

So it’s true…

Ronald’s heart clenched. He didn’t let go of Tracy’s hand; instead, he pulled her down to sit on the couch

with him.

He explained, “CeeCee, before I met you, I was actually kidnapped in Jezelton. To avoid being tracked by my people, they transferred me to Cloudville.

“When I was first caught, I overheard that I was being sent to a place called Angelic Etiquette Academy, so I started looking into it on my own.

“To the outside world, Angelic Etiquette Academy looks like a juvenile detention center, and you can’t find anything shady about it. I never found anything until they suddenly made a move on you today.”

He had just found a few clues, but then Tracy’s situation happened, and he hadn’t had time to investigate further.

He’d always known Tracy’s story about “living overseas for two years” was a lie, and now, with the academy suddenly coming after her, he could piece together most of the truth.

Hearing his explanation, Tracy didn’t seem all that surprised.

She knew Ronald was smart. With the facts he had, it wasn’t hard to figure out the rest.

But she still couldn’t tell him what she knew. Otherwise, things like today would keep happening-again and again—and Ronald would be in danger, too.

Seeing her remain silent, Ronald spoke again. “CeeCee, did you save me back then because to see me sent to Angelic Etiquette Academy?”

you

didn’t want

Tracy still didn’t answer. She just looked at him and said seriously, “I know you have your own network, and I know your reach goes deeper than the Jackmans’, but Angelic Etiquette Academy is far more dangerous than you can imagine. Stop digging.”

Ronald didn’t miss the fear that flashed in her eyes when she mentioned the academy.

He knew that as long as that place still existed, the scars on Tracy’s soul would never truly heal.

He gripped her hand tightly. “No matter how dangerous Angelic Etiquette Academy is, you still made it out, didn’t you?

“That’s only because someone risked their life for me.” Tracy’s voice suddenly grew emotional. “You don’t understand what they’re capable of in there. Every evil you can imagine-or can’t imagine-goes on in that place all the time.

“Not everyone is lucky enough to escape like I did. That place has been around for decades, and once your name’s on their list, you never get out. I was the first-and they’re never going to let me go!”

Tracy thought she’d already learned to hide her feelings, but seeing a familiar “teacher” today brought all her memories crashing back, like being dragged right back into hell.

Seeing her in pain, Ronald felt like his heart was being torn apart.

He pulled her tightly into his arms, holding her so close it was as if he wanted to keep her there forever.

‘So

… after you saved me, you let me stay with you because you were worried Angelic Etiquette Academy might come for me too?”

He didn’t know exactly what kind of place Angelic Etiquette Academy was, but he knew the only reason they let Tracy go was that she had something they feared.

He knew Tracy was kind, but she wasn’t so selfless as to keep a stranger by her side for nothing.

She’d allowed him to stay not just because he was stubborn, but also because she wanted to protect him.

She was such a good person-why did life have to put her through this?

Tracy didn’t say anything. She just buried her face in Ronald’s chest, clinging tightly to his shirt, sobbing in silence.
