Can't Win Me Back

Being Lauren's most trusted friend and protecting her by his side would also bring Cyrus happiness.

Angelina had also been quietly following not far behind them.

Recalling Landon's pale face when he left, she knew that something bad must have happened, and it left her feeling extremely anxious.

Just then, Cyrus remembered how Lauren had stopped in front of a shop window full of dolls when they first entered. He thought she might find them inconvenient during the outing, so he thought of buying one for her before they left.

Right now, they happened to be at the entrance of the store, and the dolls were still there.

Cyrus' eyes lit up. "Lauren, wait for me. I'll be right back."

"Okay." Lauren nodded obediently.

Cyrus turned around and quickly walked toward the store.

As he took a few steps, he thought about Lauren's social anxiety and how uncomfortable she would be without anyone by her side. Therefore, he gave up the idea of surprising her with the doll and decided to take her inside with him instead.

He wanted to see if there was anything else she might like. They seldom came here, so he wanted to buy more for her.

However, just as Cyrus turned around, Lauren was nowhere to be found.

"Lauren!" he shouted several times, but there was no response.

He was gone just for a few seconds.

A 22-year-old, able-bodied person who could talk and smile disappeared at the crowded store entrance just like that.

There wasn't even a shout or a struggle.

Cyrus' face instantly drained of color. He plunged into the crowd, his eyes burning red as he searched again and again for that fragile figure among the sea of people.

However, there was no trace of her. All were unfamiliar faces that made him feel scared.

Just as Cyrus was anxiously pulling out his phone, a call came in.

"Mr. Cyrus, Angelina here. I've been following behind you. I saw two men in black drugged Ms. Lauren and took her away. They acted very quickly and looked like professionals.

"I'm now following them toward the north side of the park. There's an abandoned gate over there. They must be trying to take Ms. Lauren out from there. You need to hurry up."

Got it." Cyrus' temples bulged, and he ran north.

The north of the amusement park was a forested area still in the planning and construction phase.

There wasn't even a street lamp along the way.

Cyrus caught up with Angelina at the fastest speed. With his background as a police officer, his investigative skills were outstanding. He followed the trail and caught a glimpse of the two men carrying Lauren toward the north gate.

"Police! Stop right there! Put her down!" Cyrus roared, echoing throughout the forest.

The word "police" definitely had an impact. The two men paused briefly, then bolted away even faster.

"Fuck!" Cyrus cursed. At once, he reached for the stiff handle of the gun at his waist. "Run again, and I'll shoot!"

But even so, it didn't deter the two kidnappers. It was clear that they had strong backing. © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

"You're a policeman. It'll be troublesome if you shoot. We can catch up."

As soon as Angelina finished speaking, a black figure blurred past, exuding a chilling presence. Where it was now stood a solitary figure, an unyielding wall of ice blocking their way.
