Chapter 11 (1/2)

It had been three days and I had spent three sleepless nights in anxiety

Still there was no news I did not knoas putting up with the harsh interrogation; I did not knohether he has confessed to all the charges

The prosecutors, the court, the city governhtest acquaintance with, but the ansas always the sa conspiracy

Everyone was saying, ”Give up!”

This case had no room for manoeuvres; it was a case that would lead to the death penalty

Death? Just a little while ago, thisto be with ive up when he was being deprived of the ht to survive?
