Chapter 161


    Jessica was startled when she saw Lucas.


    She quickly walked to the bed and ced her finger under Lucas’ nose. Lucas was still breathing.


    Lucas didn’t wake up. But luckily, he was just in aa.


    Jessica walked around the room. The door was locked and her phone was taken away.


    If she wanted to leave this room now, she could only smash open the window and jump down.


    Jessica walked to the sofa in the room and sat down.


    Obviously, the woman she saved was working with the man who had just been hiding in the room.


    The woman put on a show and made Jessica sympathize with her before she lured Jessica to the


    room.


    Catching Jessica off guard, the hidden man locked Jessica and Lucas up in the same suite.


    Those two people locked Jessica with Lucas, but they never mentioned what they wanted. Jessica


    found that strange.


    Jessica and Lucas were both famously rich in LA, but those people did not seem to want to kill them


    nor ask for money.


    Jessica couldn’t figure out who was behind this. She failed to think of any reason why they locked her


    up with Lucas.


    After sitting for a while, Jessica suddenly remembered that she had been stuffed with a pill when she


    was pushed in.


    With that, Jessica quickly got up and went to the bathroom, trying to spit the pill out. But a few minutes


    had passed, she could thus spat out nothing.


    Jessica struggled for a while. Her body was heated up, so she sshed cold water on her face.


    At the same time, Lucas, who was lying on the bed, slowly opened his lids.


    Looking around the unfamiliar room, Lucas propped himself up and patted his head.


    He was at a dinner party where he felt a bit dizzy. Thus, he went to the men’s room to sober up. Yet he


    went nk and fainted there. When he woke up again, he found himself in a strange hotel room.


    Lucas straightened his thoughts up, he then walked up to the door. Before he reached there, he heard


    some noise from the bathroom.


    “Who’s there?”


    Hearing Lucas’ voice, Jessica wiped the cold water off her face and walked out. “It’s me, Lucas.”


    “Jessica?”


    In surprise, Lucas paused when he saw Jessica. He then came back to his senses and asked, “What


    are you doing


    here?


    Jessica wore a dark purple A-line dress. Though she wore a zer on top of the dress, her good figure


    could still be revealed.


    Lucas flickered his eyes. He found his lips dry.

    Lucas always knew that Jessica was pretty. But he rarely gazed at her.


    Ever since Lucas learned about that sketch and the text messages, Lucas felt less self-righteous when


    he faced Jessica


    “I was tricked over.”


    Jessica walked to the sofa and picked up the air conditione control. “It’s a bit stuffy here. Do you mind if


    I lower the temperature a little?”


    “Not at all.”


    Lucas reached for the doorknob and found that the door was locked. He followed Jessica to the sofa.


    “Who tricked you intoing here?” “A stranger.” Jessica looked down at the remote control. When


    she saw the temperature, she frowned.


    It was only 60 degrees Fahrenheit. Why didn’t it feel cool at all?


    Jessica threw the remote control onto the sofa and nced at Lucas. “And you? Why did you end up


    here?”


    “No idea, either.”


    Lucas nced at the seat beside Jessica, but in the end, he still did not walk over and sit down. He


    didn’t think Jessica would want him to sit beside her.


    .


    Lucas walked to the bedside and sat down. The two of them looked at each other, but neither of them


    spoke.


    Both realized that something was not right after they sat there for a while.


    Both felt overwhelmed by a wave of heat that spread through their bodies.


    Besides that, Jessica found her throat dry. She even felt a bit restless.


    Jessica could feel the change in her body and it had be more and more intolerable. She stood up


    from the sofa and met Lucas’ gaze. Her face darkened a bit. “Lucas?”


    Jessica was not the only one undergoing the change. Lucas found it even harder to hold his desire


    back.


    Jessica couldn’t help but think of the night four years ago, the night she lost her virginity to Lucas, the


    starting point of her miserable three-year-long marriage.


    Jessica did not want to repeat the mistake.
