William Cullen 's gaze turned cold. Did this woman have to be so anxious? Those who didn't know this would think that the missing person was not her brother-in-law, but her lover.
With a cold expression, he stepped forward and grabbed her hand.
In the southern corner, there was a dense forest. There was no light.
"Patrick, Patrick!"
Alice Clyne shouted as she walked towards the forest. With one hand, she switched on the flashlight on her phone and looked at the road. Her legs twisted and she almost fell down, but William Cullen caught her in time.
"Are you okay? If not, then let's go."
William Cullen said in displeasure.
She was still looking for him without any common sense of survival in the wild.
"I'm fine, I can do it." Alice Clyne said, and continued walking.
"What are you so anxious for? If something
really happens, he's already been dismembered." His venomous tongue was extremely sharp.
Alice Clyne looked at him speechlessly, ignored him and continued to walk.
The forest was too dark, and she couldn't help but grab his hands tightly.
He still wanted to say something, but was stunned by her simple action, and his heart skipped a beat.
He stared hard at their hands. Like a puppet, he couldn't help but be led forward by her hand. Every step he took caused his heart to involuntarily tremble.
"Patrick - Patrick
Alice Clyne did not notice anything wrong with him and continued to raise her voice to search for someone.
Miller Family was heavily guarded on the island, she believed that no one would be brave enough to kidnap someone on the day of the wedding.
The road in the forest was hard to walk on. She almost fell down a few times but she was always supported by William.
When she fell to the side, a long time later, she suddenly realized that William was not by her side.
She rubbed her legs and stood up, using the light from her phone to shine everywhere,while she was focused on looking for someone, to the point that she did not even notice William's gone.
Where did he go?
Was it to search separately? He seemed to have just said something to her, and she didn't hear it.
Alice Clyne stood in her original spot and waited for a while. When she didn't see William Cullen coming back, she continued to walk in by herself and continued to search for Patrick. "Patrick, are you there?"
After an unknown period of time, she stopped in her tracks and looked off into the distance.
Under a tree, a man in a gray suit sat on the ground with his back against the tree. If it weren't for the light on her mobile phone, he would have been hidden in the night.
"Patrick?" Alice Clyne shouted in confusion, "Is that you? Patrick?"
The man jerked his head back and looked deeply in her direction, his eyes filled with disbelief.
It was Patrick.
"It's really you." Alice Clyne was relieved, she supported herself with the tree and walked towards him step by step, "Are you alright? Why are you here alone? "
Suddenly, she realized something was wrong.
Patrick sat on the messy ground. There were a few stains on his suit and pants, and there were a few scratches on his feminine face.
"You're injured? What happened? Why did you come here?" Alice Clyne had a lot of questions for him, she took out a wet tissue from her pocket and handed it to him, "Wipe it first."
Patrick did not say a word, nor did he take her tissue. He only stared at her in shock, his pupils contracting as if he had just seen an ugly monster for the first time.
"What's the matter with you?"
Alice Clyne looked at him, stunned.
"Alice Clyne."
Patrick sat on the ground, chanting her name word by word. He bit his words hard, like a child learning to speak.
Hearing him calling her name, Alice Clyne had a strange feeling, but she couldn't pinpoint exactly where it was.
"You!"
Just as Alice Clyne was about to speak, a strong light suddenly shot towards them.
She and Patrick simultaneously used their hands to block the light.
In the next second, Alice Clyne heard a series of hurried footsteps. She lowered her hand and looked over, only to be ruthlessly slapped on the face.
The slap was fierce and heavy.
She was being hit so hard that she turned her head to the side. There was a trace of blood on the corner of her mouth and her ears were ringing.
Mary Clyne was wearing a beautiful miniscule dress as she stood in front of her, staring at her with astonishment. Her originally sweet voice became exceptionally shrill, "Alice Clyne, I knew that you wouldn't let this go easily, you actually dared to kidnap Patrick! You kept saying you'd give up, and now you're going to kidnap him, bitch - Bitch! Do you even have any shame? "
Behind Mary Clyne was her close friends and relatives, all of them were looking at Alice Clyne with contempt.
As she spoke of his excitement, Mary was about to hit her again.
This time, Alice Clyne was prepared. She reached out her hand to block her, and her voice turned cold, "Mary, I can forgive your nonsense, but this does not mean that you can hit me again and again!"
She had some attachment to this family, but that did not mean that she could be easily bullied.
"So what if I hit you?"
The current Mary did not have her usual ladylike appearance, and the skirt on her body had also been cut in several places by walking through the forest.She was in an extremely sad state, with a face full of resentment, "Is there anyone like you to ruin your little sister's wedding? You have always been jealous of me, coveting Patrick. We have always tolerated you, but you actually did such a shameless thing today!"
Mary Clyne hated that she couldn't go and tear her apart.
"Enough!"
A weak voice was heard.
Patrick sat on the ground and interrupted their argument.
