How the Ice King Became my Doting Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 402

The phone suddenly went dead with a series of beeps.

Morwenna felt as though her soul had left her body; she couldn't comprehend a single word Orson was saying. Just a few days ago, everything was perfectly fine when she left home, so how could things have gone so wrong so quickly? Her mouth moved, trying to form words, but no sound emerged.

After the call dropped, she tried dialing back, but it was futile. The call wouldn't go through. What on earth had happened? Morwenna turned and rushed out, but after just a few steps, she collided with a table, hitting her leg.

The loud bang made Lorna wince in sympathy. Yet Morwenna acted as if she didn't feel the pain at all, limping out of the courier depot and running towards the school gates. Lorna, shocked and worried, hurried after her. “Morwenna, what's going on? Where are you heading at this hour?”

“I... I need to go home,” Morwenna finally managed to speak, though her voice was hoarse.

“You know Rosefrost University doesn’t allow students to leave at night without special permission. Did something happen at home? Tell me, and maybe I can help.”

“It’s Norbert Hetfield, something terrible has happened! I have to get home, Lorna, I really do,” Morwenna said, tears streaming down her face.

Lorna was taken aback. Morwenna was crying. For someone as strong as Morwenna to cry, something truly serious must have happened to Norbert. Lorna’s expression turned serious. “Alright, I’ll find a way to get you out of here.”

Rosefrost University had strict rules, but in special circumstances, exceptions could be made. Just like how Stuart and Greta Irons managed to get in. But Lorna was just a student and not influential enough on her own.

She enlisted the help of a couple of friends, and together, they managed to swipe the keys to the main gate. Special situations called for special actions, and they could handle the paperwork later. If Morwenna was this desperate, it had to be something major.
