Chapter 456: Chapter 455 Promise of Safety

Chapter 455 Promise of Safety

\"So… I was thinking that maybe you could invite your mother for dinner with me and Thomas as well as his son Adrian. We should start treating each other as family.\" Isaac continued.

\"Not interested.\" Zhou Jingren started walking away from them.

\"I added you to my will.\" Isaac's words made him halt his steps. He turned towards the old man.

\"Why would you do that?\" Zhou Jingren knew exactly why Isaac would do that. He wanted to drag Zhou Jingren and his mother in his life and wanted to use them.

\"I am adding you and your mother to my will with Thomas and Adrian.\" Isaac continued.

It was as if a lightbulb was lit in Zhou Jingren's mind. He looked at him for a few seconds. \"Donate it to charities. We don't need your money.\" Without waiting for the man to utter another word, he walked out of the VIP lounge with Secretary Go in tow.

\"President… that man…\"

\"I know, Jichen.\" Zhou Jingren nodded. Isaac wanted chaos. Zhou Jingren was smart enough to know that Isaac wanted to get rid of Thomas and is trying to use him and his mother to do just that.

For a long time now, the issue of Isaac Lee's will had been brought up. It was because the old man announced that he only wanted to make his daughter the heir to his company. Many called him stupid for doing such thing as Thomas had been with him for a very long time now. How could he gave his shares to a daughter that no one really saw?

Now, all of a sudden, he wanted to share it with Thomas? Wouldn't this make Thomas scheme for more? Thomas Lee was also a businessman and judging from his character just from that encounter a few minutes ago, he won't back down and will do everything to have everything.

Does the old man think Zhou Jingren is dumb? The thought only made him scoff. However, he does not have the time to think about all this now. He still has a mission to finish. He is about to bring Lily back.

The loud thud echoed inside the room.

\"Miss Lily!\" Anna ran towards Lily and tried to assist her as she tried to stand. \"Miss Lily, if you need anything, you can always call me. Why are you trying to force yourself? You are still weak!\" Anna's face reddened as she said it all in one go. She helped Lily up, concern written all over her face. Then slowly she leaned towards her. \"Bathroom,\" she whispered.

In response, Lily bit her lips. She lowered her head. \"Anna… I — I can't walk.\" Her voice shook as tears pooled in her eyes. \"I don't think I can do it anymore.\"

\"Miss Lily, please don't say that. The doctor said there is a…\"

\"No…\" Lily shook her head. \"I am useless. I can't even stand on my own.\"

Sadness gleam in Anna's eyes as she held Lily's hands. \"Miss Lily, don't lose hope. You can get through this.\" She gave her an assuring smile. \"Now… how may I help you? Were you trying to go to the bathroom?\"

Lily nodded in response. \"I want to shower, alone\"

\"But Miss Lily, you can't …\"

\"Can you at least leave in me in the tub?\" Lily interrupted her. \"I just want to be alone…\" dejection laced her voice.

\"Miss Lily… I… can do it, only if you open the door a little and let me see you. My apologies, but the Don strictly said that you are not allowed to be alone. I have to see you and make sure that you are safe. Or I can bring a chair and stay inside the bathroom with you.\"

In the end, Lily nodded reluctantly. Anna responded with a smile before she started told Lily that she will prepare a hot bath for her and will come back soon. After a few minutes, she started helping Lily walk towards the bathroom. Lily had been in this place for weeks now and her burns were already healed however, she still can't stand on her own. Because of this, she requires constant assistance from Anna.

The moment Lily and Anna arrived inside the bathroom, she immediately helped her remove her clothing and put her in the tub.

\"How is he?\" Lily asked in a hushed tone, she leaned against the tub and close her eyes.

\"He is fine, Miss Lily. He is in the mansion's underground. He gave me a letter, and I already attached it to your underwear.\" She responded in a whisper, her eyes wary as she constantly looked behind her back, making sure that no one is sneaking behind them.

\"Did he tell you anything else? Did they mistreat him?\" All this time, Lily had been sending messages with Qin Yuanfeng through Anna. It was also because of Anna that she knew about the newly installed camera in her room. However, Anna said that Jack did not install a camera in the bathroom as he wanted to give Lily a little privacy.

\"No more,\" Anna uttered before letting out a sigh. \"Miss Lily, I know that Mr. Qin and you can leave this place soon,\" Anna said. \"What you promise…\"

\"I will not break it,\" Lily opened her eyes and looked at Anna. \"And stop saying that you can't come with us—\"

\"No.\" She shook her head. \"I can't, they will kill my family.\"

Lily pursed her lips in response. She gave the older woman a gentle smile before she held her hand. She wanted to promise her safety. She wanted to tell her that Jack will die soon. But she cannot.

Lily does not have any assurance that this will happen anytime soon. Not when Qin Yuanfeng's actions are also being monitored thoroughly. A heavy silence blanketed the whole room until Lily finished her bath.

Once again, Anna dressed her and help her to bed.

\"Thank you,\" Lily uttered. In response, Anna nodded and said nothing. After making sure that she is comfortable, Anna bid her goodbye.

After hearing Anna left, Lily got ahold of Qin Yuanfeng's message. She covered herself in the blanket as she read, \"Prepare yourself. They are coming. Security camera off. Tom. Leave alone.\"

Lily's heart almost leaps with joy when she read his message. However, it was short-lived. Does this mean that Qin Yuanfeng is not coming with her?
