Chapter 111 Escape Route

"Is that Mr. Chris?" The person quickly removed their hood and gave me a faint smile, saying, "Hello, Deputy Jasmine." I chuckled upon hearing that address. "Mr. Chris, I'm no longer a deputy." Chris's smile remained warm, and he did not seem to view me any differently due to my current situation or appearance. "Deputy Jasmine, I'm addressing you this way because you have the abilities for that position." I sighed with resignation. "But I am indeed no longer a deputy. Just call me Jasmine." Chris had no objections and complied. "Jasmine." He then turned to Wendy and said, "Alright, we can't afford to waste any more time. Let's go and find a place to tend to Jasmine's wounds." Wendy and I nodded in agreement. Chris led two horses out from the darkness. Wendy worriedly asked, "Jasmine, are you sure you can do this?" I nodded. "I'll be fine. I can manage." Wendy remained concerned and suggested, "Let me help you, Jasmine." I did not resist and nodded once more.
