Chapter 1324
“Anne, you don’t owe me anything. I did it all willingly.”
“Do you…still like me?” Anne could not help but ask him.
Lucas‘ silence was equivalent to an answer.
“I had long told you not to offend the crazy Anthony. He will never allow me to have other men by my
side…” Anne’s tears were already gushing down her face.
“Am I supposed to just sit idly by when you’re in danger then? I can’t do that.” Lucas‘ voice was slightly
deeper. “Anne, we are at the point of no return. We will see the light at the end if we keep walking
forward. You are no longer in the dark anymore.”
Anne quickly covered her own lips. Otherwise, she would cry out loud.
She did not want to let Lucas hear her emotion deep down that she could not control.
However, Lucas could still sense her pain and the suffering she had experienced all
this while.
“Anne, I will go look for you.”
Anne did not reject him anymore.
Because she could not bear to do it.
Lucas was feeling so strong and resolute about wanting to meet her, so how could
she reject him?
After she hung up the call, Anne leaned against the railings on the balcony and
looked down from it.
Lucas did not ask her for her address, which meant he certainly knew where she was.
It would be a lie to say she was not worried.
After all, she could never forget Anthony’s means of controlling her.
Therefore, could Lucas shake off the people who were watching Lucas?
They were abroad. Anthony was not as recklessly powerful as he was in Luton, so he would not have
noticed any clue, right?
On the sixth day since Anne had moved into the house, she heard a car outside when she was having
her breakfast in the dining room.
No outsider woulde to this ce.
In order to be cautious and not be found out by others, she did not leave the house and stayed hidden
there.
Therefore, once she heard the sound, she was so frightened that she ran to the bathroom and closed
the door.
After she entered, she felt the washroom was not safe, and she wondered if she should go upstairs to
hide.
That would not do. At that point, the person outside must have already entered.
Just when her mind was running wild and her heart was pounding out of her chest, there was a knock
on the door and Lucas‘ voice could be heard next. “Anne?”
As soon as Anne’s tensed nerves were relieved, her entire body turned to jelly and she almost fell
down.
She held the wall, calmed her overly panicked body, and then walked over to open the door.
Once the door was opened, her body fell into the safe and warm arms.
Anne knew it was Lucas hugging her. She did not move and tears were glistening in her eyes.
“Don’t be afraid. It’s me.”
Anne closed her eyes. She did not move at all after she was hugged for almost three minutes.
Both of them stayed silent for a long time without saying a word at all as if they were feeling how hard it
was for them to be hugging each other at that moment.
After that, Lucas let go of Anne, and he carefully observed her tiny face. She still has a pitiful
expression, which made his heart ache.
“I’m sorry to be here sote,” Lucas said in a hoarse voice.
“You shouldn’t havee…” Anne was still saying the same thing, “If you were found by Anthony’s
men, both of us will be doomed.”
“Don’t worry. There’s a secret passage in the study of the mansion I’m staying at. I can juste out
from there. The people who are watching me probably still think that I’m in the mansion!” said Lucas.
He would not havee to see Anne if he did not have the assurance.
He had finally brought her out after going through so much trouble, so how could he let her return to
Anthony again?
Anne nodded. “That’s good.”

“Are you having breakfast? I haven’t had any. Shall we have breakfast together?” Lucas held her hand
and walked toward the dining room.
The remaining half of the food on Anne’s te was still there.
That made Lucas feel even more sorry for her.
How fearful Anne was toward Anthony for her to hide like a traumatized person at the small sign of
danger.
