Chapter 443 A Free Lesson

At the other end, Joshua looked at his phone after August hung up on him.

The smile froze on his face and a cold light flickered in his eyes.He put away the phone and turned directly to a man next to him and looked at the stereo.

Noticing his gaze, the man immediately understood and hastily turned off the stereo that was playing deafening techno music.

Joshua took a deep breath and said, "Send some men to look for Lucia."

His men were a little confused.

"Well..."

A trace of fatigue crossed Joshua's face and he said indifferently, "Go.Just look around and come back."

His men immediately nodded and stepped away.

When they left, Joshua was left alone in the room.He unhurriedly lit a cigarette and took a long drag.

The cloud of smoke obscured the opaque look in his eyes.

All of this was about to end.

Two hours later, a black car sped down the road and went straight to West Bridge.

With the sound of the brakes, the car stopped not far away from West Bridge.

When its door was pushed open, someone was thrown out of the car and fell to the side of the road.

The next second, the door was closed.

Immediately after that, the car turned around and sped away at once.

Lucia was lying on the ground, limp but still conscious.

Her hair covered her face and she was in a mess.

What had happened an hour ago was like a nightmare that went through her mind over and over again.She took a deep breath.

The voice in her head told her to crawl forward, but her legs and hands felt like they were broken, and she couldn't get any strength at all.She raised her eyes to look at the red mark on her finger.

With a lump in her throat, she couldn't help but burst into tears.

She gritted her teeth and the pain made her sober up a bit.She took a deep breath, moved her arms on the ground, and culled herself slowly forward while crawling.

One inch, two inches, three inches...

Looking at the iron gates over there, she braced herself to get slowly closer to the home of her dream bit by bit.

The light was on in the living room, and to her, it was like a small orange lantern in the dead of night, giving her warmth and hope.

Her palms were scratched by stones and her knees were bloodied.

Despite the pain, she just wanted to get there quickly...

Finally, she crawled to the iron gates.

She clutched at it and raised her hand to press the bell with great effort.

Only at the moment when she heard the sound coming from the courtyard did she breathe a long sigh of relief.Hearing the bell, Paula immediately came out.She looked outside the gate and saw no one there.

Just as she was wondering, she looked down and saw the dark figure on the ground.

She was startled and immediately walked up to take a close look.

Upon seeing that it was Lucia, she screamed, "Lucia! She opened the gate in a panic.

Looking at Lucia who was limp and dying, she couldn't stop her tears from falling her face.

"You...What happened to you...Hold on, I'll take you home..."

Paula was so scared that she couldn't speak coherently.

She managed to help Lucia into the room, then called Paul in a panic, and immediately helped Lucia clean her wounds.

Lying on the bed, Lucia took a deep breath and said in a weak voice, "Timothy and Janet ..."

Paula hurriedly said, "Don’t worry.They are all here in the bedroom on the second floor.I’ve put them to bed.Don't worry.Stay still..."

Hearing that, Lucia was relieved, but for some reason, her tears seemed to be uncontrollable and gushing out...

Seeing her crying, Paula hurriedly took some tissues and tried to comfort her.

"Lucia, what's wrong? What happened...I'm so worried, you know?"

Lucia shook her head.

She just kept on shedding tears quietly without saying anything.

Paula asked several times and stopped when she saw that Lucia wouldn't talk.

At that moment, the sound of a car came from the courtyard, followed by quick footsteps coming into the door.

"Lucia!"

Hearing Paul's voice, Paula immediately got up, came out of the bedroom on the first floor, looked at him, and said, "Over here..."

Seeing that, Paul quickly ran over past her and into the room.

When he saw Lucia lying on the bed, he was instantly relieved, but when he saw Lucia’s pale face and the injuries on her hands, he looked pale again.

"Lucia...Lucia! What happened to you?"

What had happened? Why had Lucia suddenly appeared outside the gate? What was the purpose of those thugs? All sorts of questions went through his mind, but he couldn't ask therm.

Lucia was pale and weak.

When she opened her eyes and saw him, her tears came out again.

"Don't cry.Don’t cry..."

Paul hurriedly raised his hand to wipe the tears from her face.

"It’s my fault.I failed to protect you..."

A few moments later, Lucia slowly calmed down.

Just then, the family doctor rushed here to give her a checkup.

Paula pulled Paul out of the room.

Paul frowned and asked, "What's going on?" NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

"I just asked Lucia, but she wouldn't talk about it.When I found her, she was on the ground outside the gate..."

When Paul heard that, his face increasingly darkened.He took a deep breath and walked quickly toward the outside.

Paula was confused and hurriedly followed.

"Paul, where are you going?"

Without saying a word, Paul walked sullenly to the iron gates outside.

"Where did you find her?"

Paula pointed to the ground outside the gate.

"Right out there."

Paul walked over and saw that the steps were stained with blood.He stepped forward to look around and sure enough, there was a trail of blood.He walked along the trail of blood on the ground, feeling worse and worse.

Looking at the traces on the ground, he could almost imagine how much Lucia had suffered and how exactly she had crawled back inch by inch.

Paul kept walking along the trail of blood until it got thinner and ended.He looked at the marks on the ground and leaned down to observe the surface around him.

In the dust and dirt, there were obviously two long traces left by wheels.

He immediately pulled out his phone, took a picture of the clear tire marks, and quickly sent it to his men, instructing, "Find out what kind of car this is.Check all the CCTV footage around here.Make sure you find it for me!"

If they could find this car, it would probably lead them to the thugs! "Paul, what is this?"

Just then, Paula picked up a card from the ground.

A line of words was printed on it.

"It's a free lesson for Ms.Mitchell.Please keep it in mind."

In the lower right corner of the card, there was a cobweb logo printed.

Hearing what Paula said, Paul immediately went over and took the card.When he read the words on it, he couldn't help but frown.

"Rampant!"

He was so angry that blue veins stood out on his temples and he was on the verge of exploding.It was the first time for Paula to see her brother so angry.

She took a deep breath and said, "Paul, let's go back first."

Hearing this, Paul frowned.He didn't calm down until a few moments later.

He quickly went back inside, looked at the closed door, and then lowered his head to look at the card in his hand, with a face as black as thunder.

Just then, the door was opened with a click and the family doctor came out of the room.
