Chapter 41: Danger Lurks
Lucasta woke up when Samson had prepared breakfast. She quickly brushed her teeth, washed her face, and sat at the dining table.
Looking at the glass of lemonade he made for her, she felt so sorry for him, but she couldn’t control herself every time she looked at the refrigerator in Harvey’s room.
– Brother, later, put on a thick coat and come with me to the bus stop. I’m afraid that man will show up again and kidnap me. She leaned forward, touched his hand, and pleaded.
– That’s just your imagination. What can happen during the day? He shook his head in refusal.
– But I saw articles in the newspapers talking about large-scale kidnappings, and vampires like in the movies, so I was very scared.
Looking at the blonde girl’s face as if she was about to cry, Samson almost burst out laughing. He would definitely take her away but he couldn’t make it public.
However, seeing this adorable appearance, he suddenly wanted to tease her a little more.
– If you’re scared, quit work and stay home with me. Otherwise, let’s go back to the castle, where it’s absolutely safe.
Her round head shook continuously, expressing disapproval. It took her a long time to beg before he agreed to let her come to the city to live, so she couldn’t lose the opportunity because of this.
Even though she loved him very much and wanted to be with him, she still had her own desires. She didn’t want to die of old age in that gloomy forest.
– No, I’m not scared.
After finishing breakfast, Lucasta quickly changed clothes and went to the bus stop. Today, she set her alarm early so she didn’t need to rush.
Waiting for the chubby figure to have moved quite a distance, Samson quickly returned and changed his clothes.
He chose black sun protection clothing even though he knew this color did not have the ability to filter UV rays.
However, he had no other choice. If he wears brightly colored clothes, he will attract attention.
Lucasta was completely unaware of anyone walking behind, she only observed the front and sides.
Occasionally, when she suddenly turned around, he could still hide behind the large trees on both sides of the road, completely out of her sight.
– Little girl, please buy a cake.
The old woman suddenly spoke, causing Lucasta’s feet to stop. She was a bit surprised because every day she did not see any street vendors here.
In the old woman’s hand was a small tray containing attractive-looking raisin-filled cakes.
Following the natural reflex of a girl with an endless passion for food, Lucasta continuously swallowed her saliva even though Samson had just made her a huge plate of fried noodles.
Suddenly, she felt very lucky because he refused to see her off to the bus stop. If he had gone with her, he would have stopped her.
– Just get one for me, please.
She excitedly rummaged through her purse and took out a stack of change.
The old woman thanked her and quickly wrapped the cake and gave it to her, constantly advertising that the cake was very delicious, once she ate it she would remember it forever.
– I know why you never lose weight.
From afar, Samson shook his head and smiled when he realized the reason why the lemonade he made for her became ineffective.
Although the acid in lemon can melt belly fat and the drinker does not need to abstain from food, if she keeps eating out of control like this, it will be meaningless.
After paying the old woman, Lucasta was excited, her feet began to dance on the street and the handsome vampire continued to follow behind her.
As he passed the old woman, he unconsciously turned back to look and saw her continue to turn into a nearby alley.
However, her gait was very agile, not looking like an old person with a hunched back at all.
– Oh, those poor cats. Why do people throw them here?
Lucasta looked around and then approached the cats in the box. When they saw her, they cried out weakly.
She really wanted to take them home, but she knew her brother wouldn’t like them. Samson is a person who loves cleanliness and hates dog hair, cat hair, owl hair…
– Please eat this cake temporarily. Surely someone will adopt you. If I come home this afternoon and you’re still here, I’ll ask Calantha to find you an owner.
While comforting the cats, Lucasta broke the cake into pieces and placed it in the box. Next, she carefully put them under a tree close to the wall to avoid the sun.
When she saw them, she remembered Maris’s owlets and thought of the orphans in the photo that Bonita showed her when bragging that Star Corporation was their sponsor.
After putting the cats down, she ran to the bus stop and caught the bus that had just stopped.
She went to work early but in the end, she still had to run and she sweated constantly, soaking her scarf.
She looked around and saw no one suspicious, so she was convinced that she was too imaginative and sat comfortably in the last row.
Waiting until the car was completely gone, Samson turned back.
The bus was full of people and she only took one trip to the company, so he only worried about the journey from home to the bus stop.
– Meow… meow… meow…
The cats’ desperate cries startled Samson. He quickly turned around and ran to see.
The scene that met his eyes shocked him. Fresh blood flowed from the cats’ mouths non-stop and they died soon after.
The half-bitten pieces of cake still scattered in the box told him the reason.
– Damn, that old woman.
He quickly ran as fast as he could to the alley but it was too late because the old woman had long since disappeared.
Then as if suddenly remembering, he quickly took out his phone to call Lucasta, telling her not to put her hands in her mouth and that as soon as she got to the company, she should wash her hands thoroughly with hand sanitizer.
– Brother, what’s going on? I already wash my hands and mouth after eating. She looked at her clean hands in surprise.
– Do as I say, I’ll explain later when you get home this afternoon.
– Yes.
Samson’s whole body trembled when the call ended. He couldn’t yet judge who wanted to harm Lucasta.
She and he had only been in this city for less than a month and did not interact with strangers at all.
It seems that it was not a vampire or a human trafficker because that person’s goal was to take his sister’s life. They don’t take blood, they don’t need money.
Returning home, he immediately called Harvey, asking his friend to pay attention to Lucasta.
His treasure is a lovely, honest girl who has no enmity with anyone except what happened with Jemaine.
But Samson did not think that Jemaine was such a cruel person, moreover, that old man would never spend money just to take revenge for a small matter.
– Did such a thing happen? – Harvey’s face showed concern when listening to Samson tell everything.
– Right. Perhaps I will have to follow her closely from this afternoon to find the culprit. When she comes to the company, please text me to let me know.
– Okay. But… are you planning to go out while the sun hasn’t set yet? It’s still very sunny at five o’clock.
– I have a solution. It’s okay.
As soon as the call ended, Harvey immediately left his desk and went to the window.
However, he didn’t dare pull the curtain. Sunlight through the glass can still burn his skin.
After twenty minutes, Lucasta still hadn’t appeared. Harvey immediately took out the phone, intending to ask Bonita for help.
Just as he pressed the call button, the blonde girl appeared. Without having time to greet him, she went straight to the bathroom and washed her hands thoroughly as her brother advised.
Because it wasn’t time for work yet, Lucasta surfed the internet and read the newspaper.
However, a video posted online by someone left her motionless when she realized that the cats she had just met early in the morning had died, the cause of which was determined to be due to the poisonous substance in their food. That was the cake she bought.
– What’s going on, Lucasta? Are you sick?
Harvey quickly stood up and came to her side as soon as he heard the sound of the phone hitting the floor and realized her expression was extremely unsightly.
Seeing her hand trembling, he immediately took it to calm her down and he realized her whole body was cold.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
– What’s up? Where are you unwell?
– Harvey, I killed the cats. She burst into tears and fell into his arms.
– It’s okay. Not your fault.
Harvey’s face contorted, and his hand kept patting Lucasta’s back.
He didn’t understand what this little girl was thinking in her head. She cried for the cats but didn’t she realize that she had just escaped the hands of death?
Fortunately, the camera on that road was broken, otherwise, the police would definitely look for Lucasta and everything would be messy if they discovered that she and Samson did not have identification papers. Bonita is still in the process of working with a lawyer to complete the girl’s identification documents.
Large-scale disappearances make the police more stringent than ever. Once they detect something unusual, they will immediately follow up and investigate thoroughly. They will even monitor the suspects’ every move.
At the same time, in a luxurious room in a lavish villa, the man was extremely angry and knocked over the crystal vase on the desk.
Multicolored fragments and rose branches mixed together, scattered in the middle of the flowing puddle that spread to the feet of the person opposite him.
– An incompetent person who can’t complete even a small task.
– Sir, she did not foresee that the girl would give cake to stray cats.
– Doesn’t she know to give an extra cake when Lucasta buys it? Make her disappear.
The man said as he extinguished the half-burning cigarette in his hand.
The room was too dark for Henry to see the expression on his boss’s face, but he knew clearly that his boss was very angry and what those words meant.
– Please let me use her one more time. I will arrange for someone to coordinate with her and make no mistakes.
– I’ll give you three days, just three days.
The sound of shoe soles tapping steadily on the floor created a dry sound like the whisper of crime that gradually faded away and disappeared behind the door.
Henry quickly bent down and tidied up the things scattered in the room. It seems that the girl’s life is quite big, even though the poison was brought to her hand, she still escaped.
After putting all the debris and roses in the trash and drying the floor, he immediately pulled out his phone and contacted his subordinates to discuss the next plan.
Their lives were going very well when that girl appeared. If he doesn’t eliminate her, he’s afraid everything will be chaotic.
