His Dangerous Love novel Chapter 17

Chapter 17 A Surprise Phone Call

Elianna whispered, "Why are you calling at this time? Wasn't it discovered by someone from the retreat?"

"..."

"What did you say?"

Elianna's brain hadn't reacted yet, but her heart was racing ahead.

"He woke up?!!"

"I'm coming over now!"

Elianna was too excited, her hands were trembling, and she couldn't hold onto the car keys. It took several attempts before she managed to insert them.

She instinctively drove out of the residential area.

Two years ago, something happened in her family.

Her father jumped off a building, and her only brother, who knew the truth, got into a car accident and fell into a coma. He was diagnosed as being in a vegetative state.

If it wasn't for her face being liked by Erica, who helped them fake their deaths and escape to Oakpool, her family would never have been able to leave Elfold alive.

After saving a life by magic, she was convinced they would just wander aimlessly through life like that. But she never expected her brother to wake up.

Elianna wished she could grow wings and fly there.

Encountering slow traffic, Elianna impatiently honked her horn.

Every second at a red light was torture for her.

The retreat was in the suburbs, less bustling than the city center, mainly consisting of sanatoriums and resorts.

The retreat looked similar to an ordinary sanatorium from the outside, but this place was owned by the Gentry family and wasn't open to the public.

Elianna waited outside the gate for a long time, but the barrier gate didn't move.

She had been here more than once, and the gatekeeper knew her. Why wouldn't they let her in?

Without overthinking, Elianna exited the car and walked towards the gate but was stopped by a security guard.

"Ms. Gentry."

Elianna nodded perfunctorily, "Could you please open the gate for me?"

"We received a notice that we can't let you in, I'm sorry."

"Whose notice?"

"Mrs. Gentry's."
