There was no way for Leonel to learn what was happening downstairs, but he was sure that if he did
not try to leave now, he never would.
Upon more consideration, Leonel got to his feet and went to the window.He felt his knees go weak at
the sight of the number of people.
Why were there so many people there? However, he did not have the leisure to hesitate.He adjusted
his belt and found a less crowded opening.
While he was planning to make his move, an icy voice came from behind, "If you dare run, [ll break
your leg."
Leonel’s legs gave way, and he fell from the ledge.He knew that she was serious about it.
The witch was capable of anything! However, he was confused by her intentions.
She knocked him out, yet she did not hurt or allow him to escape.
Then, what exactly were her intentions? "What do you want with me?"
He was almost on his knees begging her.
"You should just stay put and stare at me!"
Lily instructed coldly as her eyes narrowed on him.
Leonel feared for his life as her glares were like daggers, "Of course!"
When he regained his composure, he was confused by her instructions, ‘What does she mean by stare
at her?’
Soon after, he would come to realize why she had said that.
After the noises outside subsided, the police could finally enter the house.Jo was still trying to escape
but was shot down immediately by the sniper team.
Moments later, the police rushed into the house and noticed an injured Christopher, whose hands were
covered in blood.
There was also another half-dead man lying on the floor.
They immediately arrested the people on the ground floor and rushed upstairs.
One of the officers found Giselle.
"I found the hostage.Over!"
Trailing behind the officer, Alexander ran in but looked at the hostage and said, "That’s not her!"
While the rest of the police searched the vicinity, Leonel grew increasingly restless.He could not even
try to escape anymore.
There were a bunch of police outside and a deadly witch in the room.Why does he always have the
worst luck?
"Don’t move!" a bunch of men with guns was aiming at him, "Put your hands in the air and let the
hostage go!"
Leonel immediately obeyed and put his hands up.
Going to prison was much better than falling into the witch’s hands.
Besides, how could he release the hostage...иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σмwhen he was the hostage!
"Ms.Christian?"
A police officer asked.
With tears streaming down her face, Lily raised her head, "Y-Yes, it’s me..."
Leonel was utterly astonished, ‘Why are you even crying? I should be the one to cry!’
"Ms.Christian, please don’t be afraid.You're in safe hands.We’re an A tall, lean shadow rushed into the
room and forced his way to the front, "Lily!"
Lily was surprised.She stared at him wide-eyed, forgetting to continue crying, "W-What are you doing
here?"
‘Wasn’t he supposed to be in Sapphine? When did he come to Westwood?’ Alexander walked toward
her and pulled her into a tight embrace.
"It’s alright, don’t be afraid! I’m here now!"
Lily and Leonel were speechless by how bizarre the situation turned out to be.
Alexander took off his jacket and wrapped it around Lily, carefully embracing her, "I’m sorry that it took
me so long to be here.You must’ve suffered a lot."
Looking at her tears- streaked cheeks, Alexander felt a stab in his heart.
The thought of her being kidnapped by the horrendous criminals made him want to kill them all.She
must have suffered.
"Lily? Suffered?" Leonel could no longer hold it in and yelled in distress.
