Married to a Secret Billionaire (Stella Taylor) novel Chapter 74

Chapter 74 Don't Be Afraid, I'm Here

Liam's expression was gloomy all along the way. He pressed the gas pedal like crazy.

There were several instances when Caleb felt like he would fly out of the window. He finally understood today about centripetal force and centrifugal force which he had learned in high school physics!

With the screech of braking, the car stopped abruptly at the gate of the police station.

Liam strode towards the police station with heavy steps like Asura who came from the hell. After he went in, his cold eyes swept across the crowd like sharp knives, and finally saw a door slightly opened, from which two female police officers walked out with Stella.

"Stella!" He couldn't help shouting.

Stella looked up upon hearing him.

The moment she met his eyes, the tears which she had been holding back for a day and a night gushed down. She threw herself into his arms, her tiny hands clutching his clothes tightly. Sensing the familiar and reassuring scent, the grievance in her heart suddenly stuck in her throat. She didn't dare to cry loudly but sobbed softly instead.

Liam stroked her back and comforted her in a low voice in her ear.

She kept shivering in his arms. He smoothed her messy hair. His heart ached at the sight of her red swollen eyes and pale face.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Stella felt reassured and nodded slightly.

Caleb walked over after completing the procedure. He was about to say something but was forced back by Liam's look. Caleb stuck out his tongue and stood resignedly at one side. Looking at the inseparable couple, he felt like laughing but didn't dare to, so he finally let out a few coughs.

Stella came back to her senses. She separated from Liam and turned to look at Caleb.

"This is..."

"This is Mr. Thompson, the lawyer whom I mentioned to you last time." Liam said quickly, "He specializes in providing legal aid to prisoners in prisons."

Caleb widened his eyes and roared in his heart. Since when had he, a barrister, become the bosom buddy of the prisoners?

Stella glanced at him gratefully and nodded.

"Honey, don't worry. Mr. Thompson will find a way to clear your name." He looked at Caleb, "Right?"

Caleb was speechless. He let out a few hollow laughs and nodded vigorously.

"The bail procedure is completed. Let's get out of here and find a place to discuss about this."

"Yeah, alright."

Liam led Stella out by her hand. After a few steps, he paused and carried her in his arms. Stella leaned her face against his strong chest. Listening to his strong heartbeats, she felt like crying again.

"Darling... how did you know about this?" She asked him sobbingly, "It happened all of a sudden, and you were in training, so I thought I couldn't contact you."

Liam put her into the car carefully, fastened the seat belt and gave her a gentle smile.

Caleb was driving. He saw this scene from the rearview mirror and cried for help in his heart... Must Noah show off his love?

God knew how madly did Noah rush to take the plane after learning of what happened to her.

Luckily Noah could not fly a plane, otherwise, the speed record of human flight would have been broken by him!

"Oh, actually the police contacted me and not Liam." Caleb smoothed things over for Liam as he saw that Liam was at a lost for answer, "When I filed the real estate lawsuit of your family as your lawyer, a record was made at the police station. So, if something happened to either one of you, the police would contact me first. Then, I contacted Liam."

"I see." Stella nodded slightly, "Mr. Thompson, I'm really sorry for causing you so much trouble."

"Oh, it's okay. It's a lawyer's job to help people solve their troubles, otherwise I will lose my job, won't I?"
