Chapter 100 Ominous Premonition
Kane’s message came back a long, long time later, and it said, “Okay, this is the last time!”
Poppy was so excited to see this message that she almost jumped up and down.
Lucia, although the plan failed, but … you will not have a good fruit to eat!
After this day, the third day at noon Lucia was a car delivered to the entrance of Jardín de Nieve’s neighborhood, Lucia got out of the car, wearing the same clothes worn on the day of the disappearance, but a small face no longer then the vigor, the whole person looks gloomy and low, she did not say anything more after getting out of the car, just nodded towards the driver’s side and turned around and walked towards home. The first thing you need to do is to get out of the car.
When she returned home, it was empty and silent. Expecting Arthur to be waiting for her at home, Lucia was a little disappointed. She immediately took out her cell phone to charge it and the power flowed in, the first time Lucia had turned it on in three days.
Once the phone was turned on, a series of text message alerts dinged incessantly, Lucia’s heart throbbed because of these urgent alerts, she trembled to click on the text messages to see, almost every one of them is a missed call alert, there are Eduard’s, there are Arthur’s, the two messages alternating cycle, you can imagine how anxious they were for the three days they were missing.
Lucia looked at her phone for a moment, then called Eduard first.
“Lucia, is that you?!” Eduard’s voice sounded excited.
“Eduard, I’m sorry, I’m at … friend’s place these days,” Lucia replied hesitantly, “he’s not available to answer the phone on his side, I’ve missed work these days, I’ll accept the appropriate punishment after I arrive at the office tomorrow. I will accept the appropriate punishment when I arrive at the company tomorrow.”
“Never mind about the company or not!” Eduard immediately said: “Do you know how worried we have been these days?! Your assistant was so anxious that she cried, and the company called the police straight away.”
Lucia’s eyes sank, pursed his lips and said, “Sorry to make you guys worry, I’m fine now, I can withdraw the case.”
“Lucia, are you sure you’re okay?” Eduard always felt that Lucia was speaking in a strange tone, like she was tired.
“It’s really fine, thank you, I’ll be at work on time tomorrow.” Lucia replied with a slight frown.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
“Tomorrow you will not work, I will grant you a week of vacation, you rest first.” Eduard said directly.
“Thank you, then.” Now that she did need to rest, Lucia responded wearily and did not postpone.
The two quickly ended the conversation, but after hanging up the phone, Lucia, who should have been the first to call Arthur to inform him of his whereabouts, once again stared at her phone, which had Arthur’s number on the screen, but she didn’t dare dial it for a long time.
Maybe she could get by with Eduard, but how could she explain her whereabouts for the past three days to the one she loved?
Thinking about the encounter in the past three days, tiredness and complexity wrapped around Lucia’s heart, she never thought that the person who saved herself, would be him!
After a long time, Lucia took a deep breath and finally dialed out the phone, how could she let Arthur worry about himself all the time.
“Beep … beep …” After waiting for the sound to think for a long time, Lucia heard the voice she missed so much.
“Lucia, where the hell have you been the last few days?! Where are you now?! Did something happen?” Arthur’s voice was as anxious as his emotions, and the series of follow-up questions were even more worried.
“I … went to see a friend I hadn’t seen in a long time, and he had a bad signal there, and I couldn’t communicate with the outside world after my phone died.” Lucia whispered the excuse he had thought of for a long time.
“To see a friend?” Arthur’s voice was full of suspicion.
“Well, it’s an old friend from before, I met her by accident too, sorry I didn’t inform you in time …” Lucia could only continue the lie.
“Lucia, are you lying?” Arthur how clever, such a reason how to deceive him, single not to mention the chances of Lucia encountered the old friend how small, now this society which location will be bad signal to contact the outside world, not even electricity? So he asked Lucia directly.
“I didn’t, it’s just that she’s not at liberty to reveal her identity, Arthur, I’m sorry …” Lucia clenched her lips and told her lie to the end.
“So, you left Julia alone at the party just because you were meeting a friend?” Arthur was silent for a long time, and then asked this in a low voice. That’s right, Julia!
Lucia then remembered Juliana, who had accompanied her to the party, but then she thought, “Isn’t Eduard with her mother? So she replied:
“It was urgent, and I couldn’t … help it,” Lucia apologized, though Arthur’s next words made her very uncomfortable.
“Things are urgent, no way? You know she’s been looking for you, even …” Arthur’s voice was suddenly as cold as ice that had been asleep for ten thousand years, and his next words were even more like they were frozen.
“Doesn’t she have Eduard with her?” Lucia is not shirking her responsibilities, but simply trying to show Arthur that Juliana is not alone.
“Eduard anxious to find you, where to care about Julia! Julia alone to go around looking for you … If you had not left without saying goodbye, she would not have …” words here The words came to a screeching halt.
Lucia wondered why Arthur’s voice sounded so pensive, could it … be that something had happened to Juliana? That night she only remembered to give her a good room for her stomach pain, and then she lost consciousness, what happened to Juliana afterwards? Is the stomach pain very serious?
Just as Lucia was about to ask, there was a sudden scream on the phone and she asked, “Arthur, what’s wrong?”
But no one responded, only a guttural wail and cry was heard from the phone, with Arthur’s inaudible voice caught in it, and shortly after, the call was disconnected.
Lucia was confused at this point, and an unsettling sense of foreboding gripped his mind.
Without a moment’s hesitation, Lucia dragged her tired body into her coat and headed out, going to Arthur’s villa to find out what was going on.
The cab driver, at Lucia’s urging, drove fast and soon arrived at Fragranerde Hall. Lucia paid the fare and immediately got out and went towards the door, but after ringing the doorbell for a long time, no one answered, and just when she wanted to call Arthur, the door opened and it was Arthur’s housekeeper.
“Miss Webb, hello.” The butler looked serious and said hello to Lucia, but had no intention of letting her in.
“Peter , I came to look for Arthur, is he home?” Lucia asked patiently as she stood in the doorway, her eyes anxiously looking in, her gaze crossing the corridor, she was puzzled to see the many shards of porcelain scattered on the floor of the living room entrance exposed to the corner of her vision.
