When he finished talking, the man led Edward into the club.
After the man had ordered his woman, Edward pointed out Nancy's name.
Edward was worried, he was afraid that he would expose himself before he could find Nancy.
So, in order to guise himself, he did his best to look like a really greasy man staying at the club.
When he laid eyes on Nancy, Edward couldn't believe his own eyes.
Her face was so pale. She did not look as smart or as witty as she once did. If it weren't for the toughness in her bones, Edward would not have recognized her.
He stared at her from head to toe, over and over, hoping to find a trace of who she was.
He told Nancy his real identity in secret until she got it. After she understood, Edward felt relieved.
However, he clearly knew that now was not the right time to take her away. He had to wait until everyone had fallen asleep, and only then would he be able to save Nancy.
The two of them chatted for hours, until an hour turned into four hours...
More and more footsteps could be heard pacing through the corridors, and eventually t
reprimand her, but said in a low voice, "If you want to escape, come with me."
"Thank you, Nana," she responded gratefully.
"I don't have long to live anymore. If this is my way to earn redemption, then I would gladly help you escape. Alas, Nancy, stop talking and follow me!" Nana smiled bitterly and led the way.
After a while, the three of them stumbled into the garden.
Outside the garden, both Nancy and Edward were frozen in fear.
There were numerous men in black on patrol downstairs. If it weren't for Nana, they would have gotten caught right away.
Not even a hundred Edwards could escape through the countless guards on patrol, let alone protect Nancy.
That was wishful thinking.
"Did you see that? That's why the women here can't leave. Once they step out of the doors, they're as good as dead. I have seen a lot of them in my time," Nana whispered.
"But if they find that I'm not here, wouldn't they make trouble for you?" Nancy suddenly became worried. She looked at Nana who was standing in the dark. "Nana, I really don't want to cause trouble for you."
