His Precious Love

Chapter 668

Chapter 668
































Outside the bedroom, the elderly traditional medicine practitioner started to panic because he could not open the door. Time after time, he tugged at the door forcefully but soon left to find a tool to help him following the countless failed attempts.

Rayna, hiding in a cabinet in the bedroom, carefully listened to the noise outside the door. When it turned silent all of a sudden, she reached out to open the cabinet door, but her movement was cut short by a slashing sound outside the bedroom.

“Blood parasite, blood parasite...” The elderly traditional medicine practitioner kept repeating those words non-stop. In his hands was a rusted axe from who knew where. He held it above his head and struck it at the bedroom door.

Thud! Thud!

Rayna trembled in fear as the loud thudding continued. She did not even dare to make a sound.

Bang!


Just then, a gunshot replaced the chopping sound. Next, the sound of the door unlocking through fingerprint recognition could be heard, followed by rapid footsteps and the click of the light being switched on.

“There's no one here.” Voices of people conversing could be heard coming from outside the cabinet. Rayna listened carefully to try and identify them. However, she did not hear Jensen's voice; they all sounded like strangers.

After some time, a man's magnetic voice traveled to her ears. “Look again. Check the cabinet and under the bed thoroughly.”

Finding the man's voice very familiar, Rayna tried to recall where she had heard him before, but nothing came to mind.

“Boss, we've searched the bathroom, under the bed, the cabinet in the bedroom, the balcony, and the walk-in closet. There's no one here,” reported a subordinate standing behind the man. “Could it be that she was taken away before this?”

Upon hearing that, the man held up a hand and stopped the subordinate from continuing.

Deep in thought, the man paced back and forth in the living room. He slowly closed his eyes and calmed down to catch any possible sounds coming from the place, including breathing sounds.

Seconds later, the man's lips quirked upward, and he made his way toward the bookcase inside the bedroom. His subordinate watched him curiously.

The man stood in front of the bookcase. After inspecting it from head to toe, he discovered that a book had fallen to the ground at the left of the cabinet, so he bent down to pick it up. Then, he looked around the bookcase for some time until he spotted that the book's original spot was protruding a little. Once he slotted the book back, the part of the bookcase which was against the wall rotated before merging with the wall again.

The other men gaped at the scene unfolding before their eyes in stupefaction.





































The bookcase door had turned around to reveal a small corner that formed a perfect semi-circle with the bookcase. It looked like a place that was usually used for storage. However, at that moment, a trembling figure was curled up on the floor of the small area.

The man slowly crouched down and held out a hand, wanting to touch the shoulder of the curled-up figure. “Are you all right?”

Rayna turned ghastly pale when she heard the clear voice of the man. Immediately, she shuffled backward to bury herself further into the tight corner.

“Hey, don't be afraid. You're safe now.” The man's voice was gentle and soothing as he tried to touch her again. “You're safe now, Belle.”

Rayna was taken aback by that term of address. Slowly, she lifted her head from between her legs and asked, “W-Who are you?”

The man's voice and tone reminded her too much of a certain someone.

“How do you know my original name?” she questioned.

There were very few people who would call her “Belle.” It was usually Jefferson that called her as such. The others would call her Rayna.

“Come. Give me your hand,” the man coaxed. “Let's get out of here first, okay?”
