Chapter 457
Olivia looked around, but she could not find Lyla. Eventually, she burst into tears.
Fred followed her and offered her comfort. “Liv, don’t panic. The car is here, so Lyla must be here.”
“Lyla…” She had tears in her eyes, and she had her head in her hands. She was at a
complete loss. “Did something happen to her? If something happens to Lyla, what should I do?”
Six years ago, shortly after Zy’s death, Jess, the only one who treated her well in the prison, also died protecting her.
Since then, she was completely unable to accept any accidents happening to the people around her.
Once, Fred accidentally cut his hand, and the blood kept pouring out. It frightened Olivia so much that she called 999 at a loss and cried all the way to the hospital.
Fred pulled her into his arms and held her head calmly. “Liv, calm down!”
At this moment, they heard a slight knocking sound.
“Liv, did you hear that?” Fred looked around, “Lyla must be fine, she’s telling us where she is.”
After hearing this, Olivia immediately held back her tears and listened carefully with her full
attention.
After more than ten seconds, she and Fred stumbled towards the open space not far away.
There were many abandoned cement pipes in the open space arranged intricately. Some were stacked so high that it was impossible to see what was going on inside.
Hence, they could only look from the bottom and climb up layer by layer.
However, when they got to the middle, there was still no sign of Lyla, and Olivia’s leg already hurt.
Thud, thud!
They heard the voice again, so Olivia ignored the pain in her leg and continued to climb up.
‘Lyla!’
There was only one thought in her heart, and that was to find Lyla.
Finally, she spotted little Lyla curled up in the dark cement pipe with her hands and feet bound and her mouth gagged.
Olivia’s tears could not be held back anymore, and they flowed out all at once.
“Lyla! I found Lyla!”
She crawled in and brought Lyla out, but because of the curvature of the concrete pipe, her right leg gave way, and she fell forward just as she carried Lyla out.
Fortunately, Xavier and Fred were sharp-sighted and deft, so one of them caught Olivia, and the other caught Lyla.
