Chapter 28 Stubborn girl
After Jane took a shower, she sat in front of the mirror, combed her hair and pondered how to leave the room. She suddenly remembered the new shoes for servants placed next to a large box stowed away in the barn, and she had an idea. Jane looked down at her shoes and took a pair of scissors, made a big slit in the bottom, then gently tore them off with her hands, taking care not to make a loud noise, so as not to attract his attention. outside watchman. Minutes later, Jane also finished creating her perfect product, now the shoes look like they are torn naturally. Then Jane put her shoes on, she went to the door and said:
“Hey, my shoes are all of a sudden torn. I don’t want to be found out and scolded by Mrs. Bonie tomorrow morning. Will you allow me to go down to the warehouse?”
The watchman Saxon looked at Jane inquiringly, opened the door, and replied gravely:
“Teared shoes? Let me see.”
Jane hastily showed her shoe to Saxon, who looked at it in tatters and said:
“Just give it to me. I will go to the warehouse to get another pair of shoes of the same size and give it to you.”
The young girl immediately retorted:
“Actually these shoes are quite wide for my feet. I needed a shoe that would fit better, so if you use the old shoe size it won’t be accurate. I think I should go there myself and choose my own shoes, it would be better.”
Hearing this, Saxon hesitated for a moment, and Jane quickly added:
“You can walk behind me and monitor. I won’t be able to run anywhere.”
He noticed that Jane was an innocent little girl so Saxon wasn’t too alert, he nodded in agreement, letting Jane step out of the room. He said:
“You just keep going forward to the warehouse. I will follow behind you to monitor.”
Jane walked quickly to the barn, she opened the door and found the shoebox, Jane tried on different sizes of shoes to buy time with Saxon. Because she knew she was faking it, Jane had small feet so she would fit a small size, but she ignored that and kept trying on larger shoe sizes.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
While trying on shoes, she expressed that she was having a stomachache and had to suppress it for Saxon to see, he worriedly asked her:
“Where are you unwell?”
Jane knew her move seemed to have worked on Saxon, she looked tired, said:
“I feel my stomach hurts a bit. I think I should go to toilet for a bit.”
He was also worried about Jane’s realistic performance, replying:
“Have you chosen a pair of shoes that suit you? I’ll take you to toilet right now.”
Jane hurriedly put out her leg and said:
“Here it is, I found a shoe that fits.”
Saxon nodded in agreement and took Jane to the restroom quickly. It was near the kitchen, Jane had just come up with a new idea, she said to Saxon:
“My going to toilet will take some time. In the meantime, he could go to the kitchen and eat some barley bread. They still have a few left over tonight, you can get them in a container.”
Saxon felt a little hungry, when hearing Jane say that, he did not refuse and agreed to do. When he saw that Jane had entered the toilet, he went to the kitchen, where the bread she had talked about, took out a piece of cake and ate it.
Jane entered the toilet and silently observed the outside. She saw Saxon leisurely eating cake, so she took advantage of the time he wasn’t paying attention and quietly managed to leave the toilet. She quickly moved along the small path that she discovered in the morning, Jane ran and groped in the dark because she did not bring a light.
Because she knew that if she brought any glowing objects, Jane would be discovered quickly by Saxon. Right now, moving on the road is extremely difficult for Jane, she accidentally tripped over rocks and resulted in a slip and fall. She felt pain in her legs but those were small things, they did not affect her but also gave Jane a little strength so that she could be resilient and get up to continue.
Meanwhile, Saxon had been eating barley cakes in the kitchen to the point of fullness. He stretched his shoulders a few times and went to the toilet to wait for Jane. A few minutes passed, he still didn’t see her come out, he panicked when he discovered something and rushed inside the toilet to check.
He didn’t see Jane, now he panicked and frantically ran around looking for Jane from the toilets, kitchens and storage areas with only one goal to find her. And then he suddenly thought of something, Saxon immediately ran to the trail to reach the fenced place. At this moment, Jane was drowning in darkness and fell to the ground, she bent down to get up and dusted her clothes which were smeared with mud.
And suddenly she saw Saxon’s flashlight approaching the place, as he repeatedly called her name. Jane immediately lowered her head and found a discreet place to hide temporarily. Fortunately, Jane saw a large hollow tree stacked under another large tree and in front of it was a block of stone. She hurried inside the place and took shelter despite the voices calling her name from the Saxon.
He went around to the other side and looked for Jane again. She took the opportunity and slowly stepped out and walked slowly through the darkness to the fence. But unfortunately, she tripped over a rock and slipped and fell while walking up a steep slope when she had not been careful and fell down just now. The fall caused her skirt to be torn on one side and her leg swelled, the injury caused her pain, Jane couldn’t stand it and helplessly sat down to rest and examine the wound.
She couldn’t see the lights of Saxon anymore, Jane guessed that he might have returned to the mansion and reported her disappearance to Brian. When that bad guy finds out about Jane’s escape, how crazy will he be? She couldn’t even imagine it. But it must have been terrible, she guessed, and terribly bad for Jane.
Jane couldn’t lift her leg more, she guessed she had sprained herself from the fall. She felt it hurt more and more, so she temporarily went back to her old hiding place, a hollow tree near the rock just now to rest. She didn’t want to be discovered by Brian’s subordinates, so it was the best way she could think of right now.
At the same time, Brian is sleeping and is woken by Saxon, he is extremely annoyed and grumpy. He was even more irritated when he received the news that Jane, his maid had arranged an escape game in the night. Brian looked at his watch and noticed that it was past midnight now. According to Saxon’s presentation, Jane did not bring any lighting items.
Therefore, it is very disadvantageous for Jane to move in the dark to go to the fence. So she would stop somewhere for a little while and wait until early morning, Jane would act fast. That was extremely convenient for Brian, he had more time to let his subordinates track down and observe every nook and cranny where she could hide from afar. Brian called the housekeeper Allen, who was in a wheelchair, and motioned for Allen to take him somewhere. Brian smiled to himself.
“Jane, I’ll find you no matter where you hide.”
