Chapter 41 Lester Found Lilian in the Store Room

"You..." Lester got furious and said loudly, "Can you please stop messing around?"

"I'm not messing around. Are you going or not?" Courtney had already sat down. She looked down at the height and couldn't help but shiver.

To be honest, she didn't have the courage to jump, but she knew that this move would work on Lester.

"Alright, alright... I'll go!" Lester was afraid that she would act recklessly. "Now get off that window!" Lester said anxiously.

Courtney smirked, gracefully landed on the floor, saying, "Go now. I'll wait for your message."

"You really are a troublemaker..." Lester sighed. But he really couldn't deal with his beloved sister thoroughly.

After ending the call, Lester apologized to the client and drove to Francis' house.

The villa's door was tightly closed, he couldn't see anything while sitting in the car, so he got out and rang the doorbell. But there was no response from inside.

Just as he was about to go back to his car, Courtney sent him a message. It was the password for Francis' house.

Seeing this password, Lester went silent for a while. Was he going to break into someone's house?

But he only hesitated for a few seconds. Then, he input the gate password, and the door opened.

Lester walked into the villa. But he didn't go upstairs and just called out a few times in the hallway.

After waiting for a few minutes, Lester was about to leave. But he suddenly heard a faint sound, like something heavy falling.

Lester suspected it was just his imagination, so he pricked up his ear.

After a few seconds, he heard the sound again, confirming his suspicion.

Lester hurried towards the source of the sound and eventually stopped in front of a door. He cautiously called out, "Lilian?"

But there was no response from inside.

Lester called out a few more times and tried to turn the doorknob, only to find that the door was locked. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

"Lilian, are you in there?"

Lilian moved her fingers slightly. Lester's voice was a bit muffled, but she knew someone was outside.

She had heard someone calling her earlier, but in her drowsiness, she thought it was just a hallucination. She reached out her hand, trying to grasp the voice that called her, but accidentally knocked something over.

But now she could hear clearly that someone was really calling her.

She struggled to extend her hand and lightly tapped on the door.

The sound was very faint, almost inaudible. Lester hesitated, and then confirmed, saying, "Lilian, if you're in there, tap three times."

Soon, a very soft sound came from inside.

Then, there was another light tapping.

But he didn't hear a third sound after waiting for a while.

Lester was almost certain that there was something inside, but he didn't know if it was a person or something else.

After a moment of hesitation, he found a chair in the house and forcefully smashed the door lock.

As the lock fell off, a gap appeared in the door.

He had to exert a lot of force to push it open. It was a storage room filled with cardboard boxes and books.

There was a pile of scattered books blocking the door, and as Lester was about to go inside, he noticed a human hand in those scattered books.

Lester's pupils contracted, and he quickly crouched down. Moving aside the pile of books, he then finally saw the person buried underneath.

Lilian was curled up on the floor, pale-faced, with sweat covering her forehead, nose, and even her neck. Her hair was wet and messy, sticking to her cheeks.

Lester usually avoided getting involved in other people's business, but even he felt his heart in pain a little after seeing this.

How could Francis do such a thing?!

Lilian was his wife, and she was carrying his child. How could he be so heartless!

Lester couldn't afford to delay. He quickly picked up Lilian and rushed out of the villa, driving to the hospital.

Courtney bombarded him with several phone calls. It wasn't until he had taken Lilian to the emergency room that he had a chance to answer Courtney's call.

"How is it, my dear brother? Did you find her?"

Lester looked back at the emergency room and. Just to avoid Courtney making any trouble, he lied, "Lilian's fine. She's at home."
