Chapter 374:
The lawyer gave her a cold, dismissive look and added, “One more thing. The Harrisons are already pulling some strings to send you to a private prison abroad to serve your time p>
He mentioned the name of a small island, and a shiver ran down Eleanino’s spine.
Having lived overseas for years, she knew just how much power the Harrison family held in Cot-land. The island the lawyer mentioned had a private prison, one backed by powerful business magnates.
Once she was locked up there, the chances were high she’d face unimaginable torture. It might feel like a nightmare she couldn’t escape—stuck between life and death.
Eleanino had heard whispers about that place before, and now, horrifying images of herself bruised and bleeding played in her mind. She shuddered, pushing aside the pain in her arm, and hurried toward the door, panic taking over.
But this hospital was connected to the prison, and the guards were quick to stop her. They dragged her back to her room, and a woman in a hospital gown with an electronic ankle bracelet walked in, glaring at her with icy eyes.
“Who—who are you? What do you want?” Eleanino asked, recoiling in fear.
The woman casually sat on the bed across from her, a smirk playing on her face. “I’m your roommate. Mr. Wilson arranged for me to be here p>
“Alden? He’s going to let me go, right? He—” Eleanino’s eyes sparkled with hope, but the woman’s derisive snort crushed her dream.
“Don’t fool yourself. Mr. Wilson sent me to watch you, to make sure you don’t try to escape or hurt yourself. You still need to stay alive long enough to face the Harrison family’s punishment p>
Alden’s minor injuries were quickly addressed, but what truly concerned Helena was his hearing.
To spare him the effort of moving around, she asked Leonino to come straight to the hospital.
Once inside the room, Leonino carefully examined Alden.
This time, Helena didn’t focus solely on Alden. She observed Leonino’s face closely.

As soon as she saw him furrowing his brows, she quickly asked, “Is it serious p>
“He—” Leonino started to reply when he felt a soft tug on his sleeve.
Alden, calm and smiling at Helena, quietly shook his finger at Leonino when she wasn’t looking.
Leonino couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. This guy—after everything he’d gone through—still couldn’t be upfront with his wife about his condition! He just couldn’t stop hiding things from the woman he loved.
But Leonino was Alden’s true friend. So, following Alden’s silent signal, he lied to Helena. “The hearing issue he had earlier was caused by stress. Once he calms down, it should improve p>
But last time, when Alden had been misled by Eleanino, what Helena had heard from Leonino was something entirely different.
With Alden right in front of her, Helena knew she wouldn’t get the truth from Leonino, so she simply nodded and went along with it.
