Chapter 1896
He vaguely heard Ellen shouting, “Give me my phone. Stop running!” Lambert felt his chest tighten at that instant. What if the robber is hostile and hurts her? He immediately found Selena’s number and called back using his friend’s phone.
“Hello? Who is this?” Selena’s voice rang out. “Lambert here! May I know what hotel your father is holding the birthday banquet in?” “We’re near Dawn Park. Are you coming over, Mr. Orey?”
He didn’t expect it to be so near to where he was. Because he was also nearby, he guessed that the place where Ellen lost her phone was around here as well.
Although he didn’t know if he could find and help her, he grabbed the car keys and ran out without a second’s hesitation.
Selena hadn’t expected Lambert to call her. However, she couldn’t help feeling disappointed when he hung up after throwing out that question.
Lambert immediately drove his car around Dawn Park, his eyes constantly looking at the street and gate of the park.
His hands-free phone was still on call and he could hear the robber’s footsteps and breaths, as well as Ellen’s voice. He didn’t think she would pursue the robber so persistently.
At the same time, a sweaty Ellen was huffing and puffing at the south exit of Dawn Park. Even though she was running out of breath, she did not give up and always made sure she was at least 50 meters away from the robber.
The robber was a stout man in his early forties. He was running as hard as he could at this moment. “Stop right there!” Ellen shouted while she chased after him. “You damn woman!” the robber cursed.
Lambert’s sports car was parked by the side of the road. After he got out of the car with his phone in his hand and dashed into the park, he caught sight of an overweight man running toward him. The man was holding a phone in his hand.
