Chapter 156


    Her body trembled, and she raised her head stiffly, looking at the person before her. Her teary ck


    eyes began to gain focus slowly.


    “Jon, please help me find Lillian” She seemed toe 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 te


    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 unrted 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 toote, then… Lillian could be in danger.” Under the moonlight, she stared straight at him


    with her ck 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.


    “No, Lillian would be fine! Nothing will happen to her!” she repeatedly told herself deep down.


    “Are you in such a hurry to find her? Since you haven’t received any information about her and her


    parents haven’t lodged a police report, maybe nothing happened to her at all,” he said.


    “She must be in trouble! Otherwise, she would call me no matter what.” Up till now, Lillian hadn’t


    called her.


    “Do you care that much about her?” he asked in a deep voice.


    “Yes,” she replied without the slightest hesitation. But her reply made him even more ufortable


    as if the dense needles continued to sting him after stinging him once.


    Even her pale face grated on his nerves.


    “What if I don’t want to help you find her? What are you going to do?” he asked.


    Her eyes suddenly widened, and her lips were shaking. Even her thin body was constantly shaking.


    She held the phone so tightly in her hand that her fingers were about to dig into it.


    He couldn’t bear to see her like this.


    There was a heavy load in his heart. It could not be swallowed or taken out, suffocating him.


    He thought, “Since when I couldn’t bear to see a woman worried and afraid? She seems to be the


    only one who will make me like this,”


    Jonathan heaved a sigh as if it were a sign of helplesspromise. He took out his phone and


    made a call. “Help me find someone. I want to know where she is now and whether she is safe…


    Her name is Lillian. She was taken away by a car this afternoon and the car was…”


    As Jonathan talked, he handed the phone to Rosalie and motioned for her to say the details


    herself.


    Rosalie shuddered and quickly said, “It’s a ck Maybach. The license te is…”


    She hurriedly reported the license te she remembered, the address of the parking lot, and the


    details about when and how it happened.


    After Rosalie finished speaking, Jonathan said to the other end of his phone, “That’s it. I want to


    know where this person is as soon as possible!”


    After hanging up the call, Jonathan looked at Rosalie. “Okay, can we


    passenger


    Only then did she walk to his car with him. He opened the


    ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org .


    and bent down after she sat on the chair.


    She was startled, and her body stiffened subconsciously. She could only see his upper body leaning


    toward her. His handsome face got closer to her, and they were so close that she could feel his


    breath.


    She looked at him at a loss. At such a close distance, she could see his long eyshes and dark


    pupils clearly, as well as the straight are of his nose and the strands of hair in front of his forehead.


    Below the bridge of his nose were his lips. It could not be denied that the shape of his lips was


    beautiful. His upper lips were slightly thin, but it made him look hotter. When he pursed his lips, it


    would give one a sense of oppression. However, when he curled his lips and smiled, one couldn’t


    help longing for more smiles from him.


    Who could imagine a man like him, thest person one would want to mess with in Strico, would


    demonstrate a pure and lovely impression when he smiled from the bottom of his heart?


    Rosalie stared at Jonathan’s lips unintentionally. It was not until the clicking sound of the seat belt


    buckling that she suddenly realized he was helping her fasten the seat belt just now.


    “Thank you…” she said awkwardly.


    Yet, he still remained in the position, staying close to her. He stared at her with his bright eyes and


    said, “What were you thinking about just now when you were staring at me and got lost in thoughts,


    Rosie?”


    He exhaled, and his gentle breathnded on her face. She couldn’t help but blush.


    “What was I thinking?” she wondered. “Does he want me to tell him he looks gorgeous when he


    smiles?”


    She looked down and lowered her head to avoid his gaze. But the next moment, his fingers gently


    stroked the wound on her lips caused by his biting.


    “The wound will recover after a few days. I’ve hurt you. Will you me me?’ he whispered.


    “Thank you…” she said.


    “Thank me for biting you?” There was a trace of yfulness in his voice.


    “No, thank you for helping me find Lillian.” She took a deep breath and raised her head to meet his


    gaze again.
