Chapter 386 Despair

Whenever they were together, silence prevailed. This room, once Amanda Smith's, felt alien even to its former inhabitant after all the furniture had been replaced. No trace of familiarity or warmth lingered between the walls.

Especially with Samuel Johnson always there.

Ever since she was brought back by him, he had been vigilantly at her side every moment, as if he feared she would escape.

Amanda Smith thought that Samuel was being paranoid; with her current physical condition, escaping from the Johnson family home was an impossibility.

She felt that way, but she was unwilling to say it to him. Speaking even a single word to this man was torture for her.

During dinner, Samuel finally allowed her to leave the room. He led her downstairs to join his family for the meal.
