Chapter 81 The Island's Secrets

• Suddenly, everyone’s attention was drawn to something else. Ruth stood in the distance, and her shape could be seen against the background. She was standing at the entrance, holding the pillar.
• Ruth said, “I seriously have no idea what drugs you’re discussing.” Ruth’s face turned into a grimace as waves of pain ran through her body from the rope squeezing her.
• She clenched her teeth and took each step, determined to keep going even though her body hurt so badly. The trip to the granary seemed to last forever, with each painful second stretching before her. But she refused to let the pain take over; her resolve was strong. Ruth finally got to the granary after what seemed like a long, hard walk. Her fear of having her name called out increased as she realized she would not give a full reason.
