The CEO's Wife Is Super Charming

Chapter 34: Chapter 33: Don’t Be Afraid, I Found You

Elliana Lyle finally saw clearly that this was a room filled with miscellaneous items, with walls and floor made of simple cement, no decoration at all.

In a corner of the room, there were stairs leading to the shop upstairs, as well as stairs going down to the lower level.

Without a word, Luna headed straight downstairs, and Elliana glanced back at the dark night outside the iron door. After hesitating for a moment, she chose to follow.

The lowest level still had cement walls and floor but was almost devoid of any clutter.

There was a door on the wall, likely leading to another room, beneath which dim light seeped through an ordinary wooden door. It was locked from the outside, but a key hung on a nail beside the door frame.

Crying. It seemed to be coming from inside!

Luna grabbed the key and unlocked the door.

As the door opened, a strange stench wafted out. She saw a girl sitting on a small bed, tears running down her face, staring at them in shock.

"Ah!" Elliana quickly covered her mouth, startled by the dim light and the girl’s disheveled appearance. She almost screamed.

This girl was none other than Rupert Zeller.

Luna stepped inside. Even the light from her phone’s flashlight was brighter than the small light bulb in the room. The furnishings were simple, an iron bed frame, a small table by the bed with empty bowls from leftover meals.

In the corner, a paint bucket served as a waste bucket, already overflowing.

Elliana finally saw this little girl clearly. She had injuries, bruises on her face, a mix of yellow and green hues. Her bright eyes were filled with fear, yet seemed to hold a glimmer of hope.

In this cold, damp basement, the girl was wearing only a plain white tee, stained with blood. Fortunately, the blanket was thick.

"Who... are you?" Rupert looked at the two, speaking in dialect, her voice hoarse and cracked.

Elliana’s eyes were filled with sympathy. She replied softly, "It’s me. You sent me a plea for help. Do you remember?"

Upon hearing Elliana’s words, the girl’s pupils shrank as if recalling something, nodding quickly, and burst into tears.
