Let's Get Married

Chapter 603: This Woman Is Very Important to Me

What Lily worries about the most is others finding out about her amnesia. Can't she admit it out loud? Yes, she can. But somehow she is unwilling to do so on this.

She has a feeling that once the one close to her finds out about her amnesia, she would no longer be safe anymore. Everything would change. She doesn't like the way everyone treats her as if she is different. So she would rather say nothing and recover slowly.

She has managed to hide it from Harry, Bree, and Adair, but she couldn't fool Ryan.

From the moment he enters the room and met her sharp eyes, Lily has a bad hunch. His gaze is so sharp as if he could see through everyone.

But she doesn't expect to be caught like this.

Rex has no clue that Lily has met Eunice before, so he did not stop her when she was answering Ryan's questions.

Lily opens her mouth and stops for a few seconds before she calms down. "Really? Perhaps I've been gone for so long that I forget. She looks so familiar. I just couldn't remember her just now. No wonder I have a feeling that we have met before, otherwise..."

"Lily," Ryan interrupts with a smile. But there isn't any relief in his smile. "You met her at a bar, which is special. Furthermore, you will never forget women who are close to me. You were very impressed with her."

He doesn't say too much, but Lily is already unable to defend herself. With her hand held by Rex, she clenches it into a fist. Rex notices and says in a low voice, "Mr. Ryan, stop pushing her."

He doesn't admit it, but what he says is clear enough for Ryan to understand.

Ryan once again meets Lily's bright yet somewhat empty eyes. He finally figures everything out, and it is precisely because of it that he could no longer maintain his smile.

The excitement at her return he feels on the way here is now turned into concern. He is so worried about her current state that he even starts to think that it's good for Rex to be by her side.

Ryan looks at the protective man beside her. They have experienced so many setbacks and difficulties and nothing could separate them.

He remembers that he has seen a saying online before: Your soul mate is doomed from the moment you are born. He has never believed in such a thing before and considers it ridiculous. But now, he has some faith in it.

That's probably what Lily and Rex are. They seem to have been born for each other and would never be separated no matter what.

And Ryan has always been an outsider.

Anyway. He only hopes that Lily would be happy.

Ryan understands her current situation. Seeing what is going on, he doesn't act aggressively anymore. He asks about Adair's conditions and her future treatment.

Time passes bit by bit. After nearly half an hour, the seat beside Ryan is still empty.

'Didn't she say that she would just go out to see the kid? Why hasn't she come back yet?'

'Is she not coming back just to avoid me?'

Ryan's face darkens at the thought. Just as he is about to call her, the manager of the teahouse opens the door suddenly and hurries in.

He looks so anxious. He doesn't even have time to knock on the door. Eyes widen, he pants heavily, "Mr., Mr. Rex... Sorry, kid... The child..."

He runs all the way up and pants so heavily that he is unable to utter a complete sentence.

Ryan is impatient. Knowing that it wouldn't be good news, he steps forward and grabs the manager's collar. "Where are they now? Tell me!"

"The backyard. He's right in the backyard..."

After saying that, the manager feels a gust of wind passing through him, and the tall man in front of him is disappeared. Rex follows closely behind Ryan. Holding Lily's hand, he is slower. Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Ryan strides out of the teahouse and through a wooden door leading to the backyard. As soon as he opens the door, Adair jumps out before he could enter. “Ryan!"

The child's loud voice is a little sharp because of nervousness and fear.

He puts the little kid into his arms and shows the gentlest side of him to Adair. "I'm here."

"Eu... Eunice was..." Adair stutters.

Ryan loosens him. He put his hand on the boy's shoulder and stares at him, "Where is Eunice?"

"She was taken away by two guys. I was playing in the backyard, but suddenly two men came in from outside. They held my hand and were about to drag me away. Then, Eunice pulled me back and asked me to run away. I told the manager when I saw him, but when I went back to look for her, Eunice was no longer there." After all, he is just a six-year-old. Even though he is articulate, his words are not very organized when he is frightened.

Rex comes to them and hears what Adair says. Frowning, he looks down at the woman in his arms and turns to the manager beside them with a dark expression. "Show me all the videos of the security cameras of your backyard. Show me the videos from half an hour ago until now."

Understanding that something awful has happened, the manager agrees immediately, "Alright, Mr. Rex. I'll get them ready now."

...

Five minutes later, in the office of the teahouse.

Rex and Ryan watch the five-minute video on the screen with gloomy faces.

Eunice is taken away. No, to be exact, she is kidnapped by a group of mysterious people.

From the black and white video, it could be seen that at first, the two men wearing masks wanted to take Adair away. But Eunice said something to them and traded herself for the boy.

Now the only thing they are sure of is that those people are not here for Adair. Otherwise, they wouldn't have let the boy go. So there is only one possibility. They are here for him, Ryan.

"We should call the police." Rex looks at the frosty man. "It hasn't been long. Ask the police to check the security cameras along the road and we could probably catch up with them."

Now even though Ryan wants his men to investigate, it's not London here. The quickest and most effective way now is to call the police.

Seeing that Ryan has no objection, Rex instantly picks up his phone and dials his police friend.

Sitting on the chair behind the screen, Ryan never moves his gaze away from the video at all. He doesn't even look up when Lily comes to comfort him.

There seems to be a fire burning in his sharp gaze. He wishes he could see through the screen and rescue the girl from it.

After Ryan finishes the phone call, Ryan is still in the same posture.

Men are always simple and straightforward. After all, they are also responsible for this. Rex pats Ryan on the shoulder and says, "Don't worry, we'll find her."

Unexpectedly, Ryan stands up and lets out a deep breath. "Thank you. This woman is very important to me. I appreciate that."
