Lina took a sharp breath, her legs going numb from squatting. She managed to support herself and stood up, but
her vision went black as her blood pressure dropped, nearly causing her to fall to the ground.
“Lina…”
Renee quickly got up to support her but felt dizzy after crouching for a long time.
Then, a hand reached out and supported both of them.
Lina and Renee looked up and called out with shaky voices, “Madame Krys.”
Krystal crossed her arms in front of her chest, her expression showing a mix of anger and amusement. She was still
wearing the dark-colored fitted dress, with the collar slightly unbuttoned, revealing her fair neck and beautiful
collarbone.
She glanced at them and snorted. “Come with me.”

Lina’s legs felt weak, but her mind was racing. Though it was a short walk, she thought of the worst-case scenario
and how to handle it if it happened.
But as she was lost in her thoughts, Krystal suddenly stopped in her tracks.
Lina looked around and realized they were on the other side of the cabin.
Krystal had mentioned that she and Justin each rented half of it…
A shudder ran through Lina as her face turned pale. Did Krystal intend to hand them over to Justin?
“Madame Krys!” Lina anxiously started to explain, “Actually, we wanted to go in and clean the room. We—”
“You’re telling a terrible lie, young lady. It’s better not to do that again.” Krystal smiled with raised eyebrows and
gestured for them to look into the room.
Lina and Renee didn’t understand, so they peered into the illuminated room.
When they saw a room full of drunken men, the air heavy with the smell of alcohol, they froze and stared at Krystal
with wide eyes.
“I’ll pretend I didn’t see anything today.” Krystal chuckled. “Grab your things and quickly go back to your room.
Justin has a high alcohol tolerance, so I can only give him a little something extra… That way, you two will be safe
tonight.”
Lina stood there in a daze for a few seconds.
She finally found her voice and tentatively asked, “Madame Krys, so… we’re safe just for tonight, right? And… you
already knew that we sneaked into the communication room, didn’t you?”
Krystal turned her head to look at Lina with a gentle smile.
Realization washed over Lina. It made sense now. How could an important place like the communication room,
where three teams constantly rotated, have a five-minute gap during shift change? And they happened to take

It turned out that Krystal had been secretly protecting them.
“Alright, now that you both understand, don’t waste any more time here.” Krystal turned around and started
walking away. “Go back and rest early, and figure out how to transmit signals with that communication device as
soon as possible!”
“Madame Krys!” Lina paused, biting her lip, but she decided to ask, “Why are you helping us?”
Krystal’s expression shifted slightly, but she remained silent and continued walking forward—until they reached
their half of the cabin.
The girls’ room was next to Krystal’s. Just as they were about to open the door, Krystal spoke softly. “Your father is
a good man.”
Lina’s heart skipped a beat. She looked up, meeting Krystal’s smiling eyes.
“Ms. Thompson, please send him my regards when you see him.”
Furrowing her brows, Lina stared at Krystal, her big eyes filled with confusion.
Krystal chuckled lightly. There were too many questions in the world, and she couldn’t answer them all.
