When Lyra woke up, she found herself lying in an unfamiliar room. The luxurious decoration and the smell of perfume in the air made her feel refreshed. Was she still caught by Yun Xi? Then where was this!
Lyra sat up abruptly, ignoring the pain on her body as she walked out barefooted. But just as she got out of bed, she bumped into the man who came out of the bathroom.
“You!”
She screamed and shouted, “Hank, why are you here?” Did he make some kind of deal with Yun Xi ? Or… Hank glanced at her face and walked up, wanting to check the temperature of her forehead. But when he touched Lyra, she slapped his hand away. “Stay away from me!” The man’s elbow paused in the air, and a chill filled his eyes. The woman woke up, as if there were thorns all over her body. Lyra ignored him and walked out directly. When she went downstairs, she realized that this place should have nothing to do with Yun Xi. Although he had a lot of influence in the design circle, Yun Xi definitely could not buy such a villa in Cloud Town! The entire fifth floor of the villa was decorated in a luxurious European style, and even the wall lamp on the wall was very exquisite.
Lyra went around downstairs and did not see anyone.
“What’s the difference between this and a haunted house?” When she heard the footsteps on the second floor, she glared at Hank before entering the kitchen without looking back. She was hungry. Hank changed into a suit and a shirt and walked downstairs. When he saw the woman in the kitchen, he could not help but smile. She grabbed the bread on the table and drank the milk in one gulp. She did not forget to mutter, “Such a big house, but only bread and milk? Is the Barnwell group going to go bankrupt soon?” At that moment, Hank realized. He did not seem to mind her curse at him at all.
The man restrained his thoughts and walked straight over. Ignoring Lyra’s resistance, he reached out and pressed on her forehead. “It’s not burning anymore. Does your neck still hurt?” Hearing him say this, Lyra frowned. “It doesn’t hurt.”
She still maintained the distance between them, calculating something in her mind.
“The doctor will come over later to check your body. Remember to take your medicine on time.” After he said that, he walked out. Lyra looked at his suit jacket, and her mind was a little confused. “Hank, is there something wrong with your brain?” Since he was not with Yun Xi, why did he pick her up? In this world, he should be the one who wanted her to die the most.
Didn’t he hate her to death?
Lyra held the glass of milk in her hand and couldn’t figure it out for a long time.
“Let’s talk when you are recovered.” The man completely ignored her words.
“Talk about what! Do you think I’ll stay here and wait for you? Are you crazy? I’m not Alma.”
Lyra chewed two mouthfuls of bread and muttered. “Then you can try. You won’t be able to get out.” The man sneered.
After he finished speaking, the sound of the door being locked was heard.
“Hank, you pervert, let me out!”
Lyra ran to the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room and shouted, but she only had time to see the man driving away.
Ten minutes later, she sat on the carpet dejectedly. Her mobile phone and bag were missing, and all the doors and windows were locked. In other words, she was put under house arrest by Hank. Soon, the doctor Hank mentioned came. After he checked Lyra, he left without saying anything. “Doctor, is my wound alright?” Lyra stopped him directly. The doctor looked at her and shook his head. “As long as Miss Jones has a good rest and takes medicine on time, there will be no problem.” “Oh, then… will you tell Hank about my condition?” The doctor nodded. “Yes, I have to tell Mr. Barnwell.”
