Chapter 649: Shocked
"Where is Lucifer?" Evana’s voice echoed through the hospital corridor as she raced towards Demon and Ian, her heart pounding in her chest, her face full of anxiety. She’d been thinking and hoping that Lucifer would be safe as she’d flown all the way when she’d heard the message he’d dropped on her voicemail.
She watched as Demon exchanged a quick glance with Ian before answering, "He’s with those people still, Evana. But the police are tracing him so..." And yet, the glance told her that everything was not so simple. The very fact was he was engaged.
"Are they tracing him or have they lost track of him? Don’t lie to me, Demon," she asked directly, knowing that this was the only reason that these people would be worried even more.
"I am not lying! They did lose track for a while, but the GPS tracker we put on the ambulance is now working. We can follow them at a distance."
Evana’s face paled as she struggled to maintain her composure. "And he is okay?" Her voice was barely above a whisper, betraying the vulnerability and fear she was feeling.
Hearing Evana’s trembling voice, Autumn, who had been sitting nearby, worried for Gabe, felt a cold chill run down her spine. She quickly realized the gravity of the situation—Lucy, Seb, and Erasmi were all missing. The absence of their presence was a stark reminder of the danger they were in. How had she not noticed this?
She knew that Gabe was being rescued by Lucien and that they were supposed to have caught Humphrey. But then why did Lucy not return yet. Horrified, "Why is Lucien still not here? If they’d successfully rescued Gabe, why didn;t he slip out?" she asked, her voice filled with confusion and concern.
"And Gregory has already been caught. Is Officer Humphrey not cooperating anymore?"
Demon sighed deeply, running a hand through his hair. "It’s much more complicated than that," he muttered. He then turned to the two officers standing inconspicuously on the side. "These people can explain better."
"Miss Autumn. I understand that the Frosts are all concerned for the safety gof Mr Luien but we do believe that it is for the best. The thing is, when you started to move against Savoy, you inknowingly pulled a thread that unraveled an entire web of crimes..."
That caught her attention and she turned to look sharply at the officers. "What do you mean?"
