Bab 499: Unease*

Lying in bed, Alex spooned Abi and planted a soft kiss on her forehead.

"Sleep. You need a rest," he whispered.

Abi turned to face him. Riev had told them that Ezekiel had signaled an attack to Dinah's hiding place tomorrow evening. But as expected, Zeke didn't give them any other information, causing Abi to feel worried because Ezekiel was doing it again. He was luring them into the enemy's lair without telling them anything. Even though Zeke's plan deemed successful last time and their group only suffered a minimal casualty, would that work again this time? Was it really alright for them to put all their trust in Ezekiel's plan again? What if…

The unease that kept weighing Abi's heart refused to leave her, and Alex seemed to notice it already. He ran his fingers through the strands of her hair and tucked them behind her ears.
