Chapter 18

Penulis: Justine Randall
Six months later, at a cake shop in Southern Itaile.

It was the end of the day. Lucy took off her uniform. She had tidied up the remaining baking ingredients before closing down the store and walking home along the beach.

It was not as rainy as River City; it was often sunny. There were many lemon trees along the shoreline as well. Even the sea water seemed more friendly there.

Lucy had been there for half a year. She had gotten used to the weather and life there. She had regained her eyesight, too. Just like that, she had found herself a job in a bakery.

A month ago, the bakery's owner was planning to sell the bakery. She and her colleague pooled their money to buy the store. One could say she was half a boss.

Life went on in order. However, that night, on the way home, she received a message out of the blue from Shane, who was in her home country.

[Lucy, you may need to be prepared. Wyatt has hired an international private investigator. He may find out where you are.]

  • Where the Sea Took Her   Chapter 23

    Lucy was tied up, and she could not move. She shut her eyes in despair.Right at that moment, Wyatt crawled over to her. He had found a gas mask, and with his remaining energy, he put it on Lucy."Wyatt, you'll die…" Lucy resisted with a tremble. She might not have noticed it, but she was crying.Wyatt wiped her tears and smiled at her. "But you'll live."Human emotions were rarely simple. Love and hate could exist side by side, just as desire could live beneath disdain.Even after many years, Lucy still could not understand why she was crying at that moment.The poisonous gas had taken its effect. Wyatt was already unconscious, while Lucy was starting to lose hers. She tried to wake him up to get him to hold on longer.Finally, she heard the police sirens ringing loudly outside the warehouse.Lucy had slept for a long time. When she woke up, she was at the hospital.Her finger twitched. She looked at Shane by the side of the bed and suddenly sat up."Don't worry, Lucy. Every

    When Lucy came around, she realized that she was blindfolded. Her entire body felt weak after being drugged, and her hands were tied behind her back.Lucy quickly went through the possibilities of who would want to kidnap her. She was very sure it was not Wyatt, because if he had wanted to take her away, he would not have treated her like that.Soon, she heard a rustling sound next to her. She immediately asked, "Who's there?""Lulu?" A familiar voice, slightly hoarse, said, "Lulu, is that you?"She could not believe that Wyatt had also been kidnapped. They were both tied up and sitting on the floor.Once Wyatt realized that it was both of them who were kidnapped, he yelled, "Come out! Eva, is that you!"The minute he said that, the clicking of high heels suddenly rang out."As expected from the man I have loved for so long." Eva sounded a little malicious.She bent down and took off their blindfolds. The once dazzling heiress looked sickly, like she had been through intense to

  • Where the Sea Took Her   Chapter 21

    Wyatt had returned to the country for almost a week.On the fourth day, Brandon Chapman, the one who held the auction, was arrested on a tip that he had vast amounts of photos of underage girls. He was taken to the police station for questioning. If everything went accordingly, he would be locked up for life.When Wyatt came out of the cellar, his assistant could barely look at his arms. "Mr. Grant, you were right. It was Mr. Dwight who reported Mr. Chapman. Shall I get you to the hospital?"Wyatt was barely standing straight. He was trying to hold back the pain and itch from the insect bites."No need. Get me the earliest flight to Itaile." Although he was weak, his eyes were filled with determination. "Also, get me a thorny branch and some sandpaper."Two days later, Lucy had stepped out of the bakery to feed some stray cats when she saw that mess of a man.Only a week had passed, and Wyatt had lost a lot of weight. His pants flapped in the sea breeze. He put his hand in his po

    "Why should I stop talking? You can't take it already? Just like that? Hah! A husband who keeps saying that he loves his wife would let a group of people slap her?"Sure! You were only doing it for Eva, right? She's a murderer. She can die, for all I care. A scumbag like you should join her!"Lucy's words stabbed deeply into Wyatt's heart.Lucy continued, saying, "Wyatt, don't ever appear in front of me again!"The window rolled up as the car drove away. Wyatt felt so lethargic that he bent down and sobbed into his hands.Silence hung thickly in the car. Lucy took deep breaths to calm herself down. Somehow, she felt relieved, something she had not felt in a long time.Shane looked solemn. What Lucy had said affected him terribly. He was not only stunned but also angry on her behalf.He suddenly slammed on the brakes and stopped by the side of the road. He could not help but look at Lucy.Not knowing where to start, he said, "Lucy, you…""You don't have to comfort me, nor shoul

    Lucy knew that Wyatt would not give up that easily.He knelt in front of her apartment for the entire night.The next morning, Lucy deliberately left home earlier, but on the way to the bakery, a red sports car started tailing her."Lulu, please give me a chance to make it up to you. Please? I know I'm a scumbag that doesn't deserve your forgiveness. No matter how I kneel or punish myself, it is not even a thousandth of the despair you've been through."But I never once thought of divorcing you. I've sent Eva to a mental asylum. I never once liked her."His pleading made Lucy furrow her brows. He had only managed to annoy her even more. She stopped in her tracks and crossed her arms, sneering at Wyatt in the car.Before she could say anything, another sports car rammed into the back of Wyatt's car. The back of Wyatt's car completely caved in, and he crashed into a tree.The man who crashed into Wyatt got out of the car. He was in a gray suit. Shane walked over and looked at the
