Chapter 144 Send her back now immediately
“Room service.”
Lydia and Patrick both pushed the hotel cleaning cart.
The man who came to open the door was a man dressed in black, pulling it open and leaning to the side, “Come on in.”
Lydia was slightly stunned and quickly pressed Patrick’s hand.
The big man is Alan’s bodyguard, they have seen it before, if not for the mask, the bodyguard would have recognized them both directly.
Not surprisingly, Lexie is inside this suite.
The door to the master bedroom was kept closed.
Lexie sat on the carpet, hugging her knees helplessly, her eyes dried with tears.
I don’t know how long it took, but there was a knock on the door from outside.
“Duk Duk Duk”
The door of the room opened from the outside and the bodyguard came in with a tray of food, “Madam, you haven’t eaten for two days, the hotel has made soup, you should at least eat a little bit, if something happens, we can’t afford to take care of Mr. Howard.”
Lexie’s shoulders were shaking as she knocked over her dinner plate.
The bodyguard was scalded and drew a cold breath, but did not dare to say anything, and could only swallow his anger and pack his things out, cursing as he walked.
“Still not eating, huh?” The bodyguard outside gave him a sympathetic look, “Scalded?”
“No, I won’t send anything in the evening, you send it in.”
“Send it in and don’t eat it, or let’s not send it.”
“If Jack and Mr. Howard know about this, we will be skinned, we are the two brothers are unlucky life, bear it.”
“Let’s eat first.”Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
The hotel has already brought up the noon meal, which is all set on the table at this moment.
The two bodyguards went over and sat down, eating while glancing at the two people who were still cleaning the room, “Why are you guys moving so slowly today?”
“Hey? The master bedroom doesn’t need to be cleaned, no need to go in.”
Lydia and Patrick nodded hastily, packed their things and got ready to go out.
The two bodyguards behind them feasted on the food on the table, only just ate no more than two bites, Lydia and Patrick had not yet reached the door, the two behind them both fell down, lying motionless on the table.
“Down down down!” Patrick tugged on Lydia’s sleeve, “You’re too strong for this drug.”
“Alan engaged in that Institute of Medicine, I went to play when I got two bottles by hand, the market does not dare to sell this kind of medicine, thanks to my foresight.”
Lydia raised her eyebrows in triumph, “First things first.”
The two of them were busy running to the master bedroom.
“Lexie!”
As soon as they opened the bedroom door, they saw that the bedroom was a mess, and Lexie was sitting on the carpet next to the bed, her whole body was so haggard that she was almost out of shape.
When she saw Lydia and Patrick, Lexie thought she was dreaming and was stunned for a while.
The trio rented a car and drove back to J City overnight.
On the road, Lydia was driving in front.
Lexie used Patrick’s cell phone to contact Flora first.
Alan wouldn’t help, so she had to go to Flora.
“Patrick, you tell Lexie to take it easy for now, I’m going to pull her phone’s communication information right now and see if I can find the address of the kidnapper at that time.”
“Okay, I got it.”
Hanging up the phone, Patrick reassured, “Lexie, things might not be that bad. Maybe the kidnappers won’t make things harder for Grandma when they know Alan won’t help.”
“Yeah, it’s possible,” Lydia interjected, holding the steering wheel, “Alan’s not really that hard-hearted, and I think he might be thinking the same thing.”
“Come on, you’re still speaking for him? It’s not the first time, he’s such a lunatic that he’s locked Lexie up.”
Patrick didn’t look good when he mentioned Alan, “People like him are just sick, what do they think other people are? Are they prisoners or animals? When he says lock up, lock up, he refuses to save people himself and still won’t let Lexie think of her own way.”
Lydia said, “When we get to J City, you guys wait for me and I’ll go talk to Alan.”
“He can listen to you?”
“It’s better than not saying anything, Lexie, don’t worry about it yet, I’ll think of something, that’s your grandma, Alan certainly won’t see it through.”
After meeting Lexie, Lydia learns of the kidnapper’s demands.
According to her knowledge of Alan, she felt that Alan would not give up a human life for a little profit, not to mention that this person was Lexie’s grandma, the only family member.
At the moment, Lexie’s mind is filled with the safety of her grandmother.
Patrick’s words are certainly some truth, but most of the kidnappers are some vicious people, if they know Alan’s attitude is tough, how can not compromise, the biggest possibility is still to tear the ticket.
I’ve never heard of someone failing to threaten and having the hostage return unharmed.
And Lydia …
Lexie only thinks she trusts Alan to save her life because he is used to obeying her.
On the other side, the black business car sped through the streets of J City.
On the passenger side, Jack’s face changed instantly after answering a phone call, “Mr. Howard, the L City hotel said that the wife ran away.”
Alan’s cold eyes were imprinted in the rearview mirror, instantly on fire, “Ran away? What do you mean run away? So many people can not watch her one?”
“It was Lydia who took her away.”
Alan’s face sank and he immediately dialed a phone out.
Lydia’s phone keeps ringing.
When she saw the caller ID, she was busy saying, “Oh no, it’s probably Alan who knows I brought Lexie out.”
Patrick sneered, “You’re doing justice, what can he say about you?”
“Shut up, you don’t want to make things more complicated, you stay quiet for a while.”
After saying this, Lydia carefully pressed the speakerphone to answer.
Alan’s voice immediately rang out from the carriage, “Lydia, where are you now?”
“Me? I’m hanging out with my friends.”
“Stop this nonsense, Lydia, did you run off to L City and take Lexie away from you, is she with you?”
Lydia could not continue to lie even if I had taken the person away, so what? You have no right to imprison people, I was going to look for you, what do you really think, is business cooperation really more important than human life?”
“I’m doing this for her safety, Lydia, listen carefully, is Lexie with you now? If you’ve taken her back to J City, send her back right now.”
Hearing this, Lydia’s temper also rose, “You still refuse to help, right? If you refuse to help in this matter, do you think you and Lexie can still continue to go on? If you won’t help, we might as well just go to the police!”
“No!”
“Why not? Lexie’s friends will definitely help.”
“When I say no, I mean no!”
“You’re so overbearing! I was wrong about you!”
After saying this, Lydia hung up the phone directly, angry and blue in the face.
Patrick was about to say something sarcastically when his phone suddenly rang, “It’s Miss Miller, did you get the results so soon?”
Lexie’s eyes lit up instantly.
Once the call was answered, Flora’s voice came from the other end, “Lexie, I’m sorry I didn’t make it.”
Lexie pinched her palm violently.
What do you mean you didn’t have time?
