The Ceo’s Convict Wife by Jennifer Mike

Chapter 156

Her body trembled, and she raised her head stiffly, looking at the person before her. Her teary black eyes began to gain focus slowly.

“Jon, please help me find Lillian” She seemed to come back to her senses at that moment and said anxiously, “The police can only file a case now. They said they would send someone to look for her, but they were unsure when they would find her. If only I had memorized the license plate completely! How could I fail to memorize it?”

There was a hint of self-reproach in her tone that could not be hidden.

Jonathan stared at Rosalie. In the past, she only had such a worried expression when something happened to her grandmother.

He thought, “At the very least, her grandmother was her kin. But what about Lillian? Lillian’s just a person unrelated by blood to her, yet she could be so anxious about Lillian.”

A hint of jealousy suddenly arose as he envied the amount of anxiety Lillian received from Rosalie, He couldn’t help thinking, “What about me? Would she be so anxious about me if something happened to me?”

“Go back first. It’s cold here,” he said and continued, “Look how cold your hands are.”

“Cold?” she mused. She couldn’t feel anything at all. All she could think about was how to find Lillian.

“Well… Will you help me find Lillian?” she asked, trying to get a definite answer. She thought, “I can only wait if I seek help from the police, but… If he were willing to help, we could find Lillian faster.”

After all, he had a lot of connections and resources in Strico.

“Let’s talk about it after we get back. Even if you need me to help you find someone, I have to go back and learn about the details from you. Then I will contact someone to help you in the search, don’t you think so?” he said.

“But if it’s too late, then… Lillian could be in danger.” Under the moonlight, she stared straight at him with her black eyes that seemed to be stained by ink. Her anxious, uneasy look and bloodless cheeks made him heartbroken as if countless needles were stinging him.

“I beg you. Let’s find Lillian now, all right? If something happens to her, I. She bit her lips tightly.
