Evelyn went to the ancestral hall directly.
Some middle-aged maid were asked to follow her. They pressed Evelyn down and said," Kneel!"
Evelyn threw their hands away and kneel down straightly.
Her pink white face was full of obstinate expression.
Those maids snorted then walked away.
The heavy door was closed with a creak.
A cold gruesome wind blew to her face...
Evelyn raised her head. Under the gloomy light, in rows and lines, a few dozens of black painted and golden outlined memorial tablets were setting trimly in front of her.
Evelyn felt afraid in her mind.
Time past by seconds and minutes. After about half an hour, with a creak, the door behind her was opened.
Evelyn was frightened. Then she heard steps in hurry.
She turned her head to look. She saw a young maid taking a soft pad with her was getting in covertly.
Evelyn could not help frowning.
The young maid ran to her with few steps and she peeped to the door warily.
" Mrs. Hawk, Mr. Hawk asked me to bring the pad for you. Please mat this."
Evelyn was stunned. She was moved in her mind.
The young maid said with encouraging," The ground is hard and cold. Mr. Hawk is afraid that you will get ill."
Evelyn did not has any doubt with this and she put the pad under her body immediately.
She was undeserved from the beginning.
She was grateful with Lucas since he trusted her and sent a pad to her.
When she kneeled on it, a huge pain was felt.
Evelyn's face suddenly became pale and she could not help humming.
Sweat flowed down along her forehead immediately.
Evelyn tried to remove the pad hastily.
She did not make it and other two maids jumped in from the door with evil designs.
Two of them captured the arms of Evelyn and controlled her. Then they pressed her downwards hardly.
There were needles hidden in the pad!
"Let go me!"
Evelyn struggled hardly but those two did not have any mercy on her.
Evelyn was despairing in her mind.
She was trapped by someone.
The pain went through her bones and made her dizzy.
Evelyn clenched her teeth to endure the pain but her body went soft after a while.
Two maids were frightened when they saw that she was passed out.
They ran out of the hall hastily.
Lucas walked to the ancestral hall in hurry.
He frowned hardly and the worries were floating in his eyes.
He pushed the door of the ancestral hall. The light suddenly went through.
Lucas saw Evelyn was laying on the ground when he raised his eyes.
"Nora!" He ran to her with few steps. How could she be like this after only a short time.
Evelyn opened her eyes constrainedly after Lucas shook her several times.
"What's going on?"
The worries were put on his face rarely since his face was always calm.
He checked her body all over then he found something wrong with her knees.
It was bleeding there. Even a part of her dress was dyed in red by blood.
Lucas's face could not help growing gloomy. He pulled away the pad but there were still a dozen of thin silver needles.
