Regret Came Too Late

Liam could only stand up numbly and drive to the hospital. He almost got into a car accident on the way there because he was in such a daze.

Selene became even more confused and wondered why Liam was in such a terrible state. She wanted to call Grace and ask about it, but the call couldn't connect.

When Grace woke up, she saw a familiar ceiling above her, and she realized she had actually made it home. While rubbing her eyes, she slowly sat up and called out, "Ed?"

But there was no response. She got up and went outside, but there was only warm food in the kitchen and no one else.

There was a note on the refrigerator at the side. "Something urgent came up. Remember to eat something after you wake up."

She didn't have much of an appetite. It was already 3:00 pm, and she had other things to do.

When she was kidnapped last night, Grace heard one of them call the leader Lucian. Coincidentally, back when she was hunted all the way to Ed's villa, someone had mentioned a name called Lucian and even slipped her an address. She had planned to look into it later when she had the time, but she didn't expect the same name to also be involved in what happened last night.

She pulled out her phone and called Lyle. Lyle had mentioned he was good at fighting, so she thought it was safer for him to come along when she went to the provided address.

At the same time, Lyle was being watched in a room. When he heard his phone- now under someone else's control-ring, his eyes lit up.

"Let go of me. She's calling me," Lyle demanded.

The people around him had a businesslike attitude. One of them picked up the phone to look at the caller and exchanged a few words with the person beside him before giving the phone back to Lyle.

Lyle took a deep breath and let out a cold snort. But when he pressed on the answer button, his tone became lighter.

"Grace, what's up?" he asked.

"I need you to come with me somewhere," Grace replied.
