Chapter 264: Chapter 261: A Guilty Conscience

"Don’t be afraid, I’m here."

The man’s hand rested by her ear, pulling her head to his chest.

Just like that, listening to the man’s strong and steady heartbeat, she suddenly felt much better.

Gradually, she remembered something—she had...

It was like a dream; she still couldn’t believe it, but she did indeed do that.

Perhaps it was the threat to her life that made her lose her last shred of sanity.

"Norman Bennett~ I... I..." She couldn’t say it, but the man understood her meaning.

He comforted her, "It’s okay, you did nothing wrong. Don’t be afraid; I’ll handle everything."

The man’s words were like a gentle stream cooling boiling water, gradually calming her disturbed heart.

Those two men were truly heinous, with who knows how many lives they’ve harmed!

Thinking about this, she slightly tilted her face upward, "Norman Bennett, you must hand over the living one to the police."

She didn’t know how many more people were suffering inhumane torture, but it certainly wasn’t few.

"Okay, don’t worry."

By the time they reached the city, Elliana Lyle had fallen deeply asleep, partly due to her poor physical condition and partly from sheer exhaustion.

Since waking up in the carriage, she hadn’t had a good night’s rest, always on edge.

But in Norman Bennett’s embrace, it was different; it made her feel at ease, so she slept deeply.

Three hours later.

News of Elliana Lyle being found had already spread, and just the videos of Norman Bennett carrying Elliana Lyle into the hospital shot by the media had multiple variations.

This news naturally reached Summer Hue in North City, prompting her to decide to head to Frontier City immediately.

After packing her luggage, Summer Hue didn’t plan to inform Zane Bennett and directly drove to the airport.

Halfway there, she received a call from Zane Bennett.

"Honey? Where did you go?" Zane Bennett noticed his wife was missing the moment he got home.
