Chapter 89 I''ll Save You
Chapter 89 I''ll Save You
Ste silently followed behind her, bypassing the main building of the hotel and arriving at the entrance
of the underground parking lot.
The surroundings were pitch ck and quiet, with very few people passing by. Even if someone were
to go to the underground parking lot, they would only take the elevator inside the hotel, not take such a
long route.
Ste slowed down her pace and felt puzzled.
"What are you doing?" Amelia urged from ahead, "Hurry up! My car is parked down there."
"If you go down like this, will you be able to find it?"
"I know where my car is parked. Do you think I wouldn''t know? What''s wrong? Are you expecting me to
drive the car up to pick you up?" Amelia sneered and said, "Ste, if I openly drove to the hotel
entrance to pick you up, everyone would see how you''re dressed today! Do you want to embarrass our
family?"
Ste pursed her lips and didn''t say anything more.
The road leading to the underground parking lot was deep and dark, like a ck hole with no end in
sight.
Amelia almost ran all the way ahead, while Ste struggled to keep up. Amelia took several turns, and
Ste didn''t know where they had ended up. It was pitch ck all around, without even a single light,
making it impossible to see the road beneath their feet.
Ste started to feel anxious. There was always a musty and damp smell in this area, which made her
even uneasier.
"Sis..." She called out, and the echo filled the surroundings. "Where are we?"
After a while, Amelia''s sharp and viciousughter came from the darkness.
"This is where you should go!"
Ste''s heart suddenly tightened, and a chill instantly ran down her spine!
Before she could react, she was pushed out by a force.
She screamed and instantly fell heavily onto the uneven concrete ground, her knees hurting from the
impact!
Then she heard the sound of the door closing.
Ste''s mind went nk as she struggled to get up from the ground and rushed towards the door. But
she could only hear Amelia''s coldughter from behind the iron door.
"Poor Ste, you don''t need to attend tonight''s party! I''ll tell Dad that you don''t want toe at all!"
"Amelia!" Ste pounded on the door. "Where am I? Let me out!"
"This is such a nice ce, so it should be enough for you to enjoy for a while." Amelia sneered and
walked away, the sound of her high heels gradually fading.
Ste slumped against the door and sat on the ground limply.
The ground was cold, and the walls around her were bare and gray. The air was filled with a strong
musty smell, making her nauseous.
If it weren''t for the faint lighting through the crack under the door, it would be pitch ck here, like
a dark hell.
Ste hugged her knees, trying her best to stay calm. She took out her phone with her trembling hand,
but there was no signal here as if she was cut off from the world.
She felt a chill all over her body and stared nkly at the phone screen. In the end, she was unable to
hold back her tears.
......
Amelia returned along the same route, someone intercepted her halfway.
"Miss Amelia, everything is ready. Should we deliver it now?"
Amelia smirked with satisfaction and looked at the cage in the person''s hand where squeaking sounds
could be heard.
"You wait here for now and let it inter! This is our reserved program. How can we show it so quickly?
Let that b*tch enjoy the darkness first, and then we''ll send these cuties in... to liven things up for her!"
"Yes." The man lifted the brim of his hat and had the same sinister smile.
Amelia walked along the path, finally experiencing a feeling of joy.
She wanted to torment Ste, lock her up, infect her with the disgusting virus, and then pass it on to
Liam... This was her greatest joy!
Even if it meant dying, she couldn''t allow that b*tch to die too easily!
Amelia raised her head and straightened her back. Her grin couldn''t be wider as she quickened her
pace towards the party hall.
However, she was unaware that someone under the distant banyan tree had witnessed everything she
had done.
......
Ste curled up in a corner, trembling.
The room was small, but asionally, pieces of peeling wallpaper would fall, and the sound of dripping
water from leaking pipes was particrly clear in this dark and silent atmosphere.
This environment reminded Ste of when she was in school. At that time, Amelia always bullied her
and spread rumors that she was an illegitimate daughter everywhere in school. One day after school,
she and a group of people tricked Ste into an abandoned ssroom, where they locked her up for a
day and night.
At that time, Ste experienced the despair of calling out with all her might and receiving no response.
Since then, she had developed an extreme fear of dark and enclosed spaces. Even during the time she
slept separately from Liam after they got married, she never dared to close the bedroom door tightly.
And now...
She thought of Liam. He must be anxiously searching for her, while she couldn''t contact him. Sadness
washed over her.
At this moment, she suddenly heard a few small squeaking soundsing from outside the door.
Ste froze, and her ears perked up. The sound was getting closer as if it was lingering just outside the
door.
They seemed to be rats...
She suddenly felt nauseous and a little scared. The sound was very chaotic, indicating that there was
more than one.
After a while, Ste gathered her courage and approached the door of the basement, peering outside
through the gap at the bottom of the door.
She saw a giant rat staring at her with a pair of crimson eyes!
"Ah!" Ste screamed in fear. She was so scared that she shivered, and her body was covered in
goosebumps as she pressed her back against the wall.
The rats outside the door heard themotion and started banging against the door, with the giant rat
trying to squeeze through the gap.
Ste hugged herself tightly and covered her mouth, not letting herself cry out, but she couldn''t control
her tears.
"Liam, Liam..." She despairingly called out his name.
Whenever she was in a crisis before, she had his embrace which gave her a sense ofplete
security.
But now, besides the pitch-ck walls, there was nothing.
Ste bit the back of her hand tightly, tears streaming down her cheeks like rain.
She saw the naked paws and tails of those rats continuously trying to squeeze through the gap, and
they made disgusting squeaking sounds. She could almost smell the foul odor emanating from them.
She could also imagine the consequences of contracting the gue.
Ste kept retreating, but there was a wall behind her, and she had nowhere else to go.
"Don''te closer..." She trembled, screaming, "Don''te closer!"
But at that moment, she heard urgent footsteps at the door, followed by a few muffled thuds. The rats
squeaked and struggled, and the paws and tails from the gap quickly retracted.
Ste was startled and stunned for a few seconds.
After a while, the sounds disappeared, and the world seemed to fall into a vacuum, eerily quiet.
She trembled uncontrobly, inching towards the door.

"Who... who is out there?"
Suddenly, she heard the sound of the lock being picked!
"Who the hell is it?"
"Don''t be afraid." Came the response from outside. "I''ll save you!"
