Second Chances Protecting Mrs. Hall

Chapter 41 Emma could feelt Crew.

uld feel the footsteps behind her closing in. Liam was less than 6 feet away, almost within reach to tear off her mask. Her arulety Leaping onto that rusted steel building was her only chance to escape, but it was clearly dilapidated, and she doubted it could withstand the impact of her jump. If the building collapsed, she would likely be crushed, her internal organs bleeding, meeting a gruesend, "Still not talking?" Liam continued to approach. “I'll ask once more. Who sent you here?" Clearly, Liam thought Emma had cto rescue Aria. Moreover, any stranger who stumbled upon Liam's deeds would face a fate worse than death. "You have three seconds. Three, two, one." As he reached out to grab Emma, she leaped down. She was determined, even if it meant death, she had to escape; she couldn't let Liam discover her deception He was always sinister and suspicious, lacking a sense of security, hating lies and betrayal the most. Trust was the greatest luxury for him, and in the world, he trusted only Emma. He had given her all his trust. If he found out she had deceived him, his love for her would be over She didn't want that to happen.

Before Emma jumped, a flicker of despair and resolute sorrow flashed in her eyes. It was unknown if it was a telepathic connection between them or not, Liam's pupils shook violently upon seeing that look in her eyes.

That familiar feeling and expression are unique of my Emma... thought Liam.

Almost simultaneously, Liam instinctively reached out and grabbed her wrist tightly, just like that day he had held her in Watery Garden when she jumped from the cliff behind the mountain, nearly falling off the edge. At that time, Liam had firmly grasped her wrist and shouted, "Hold on to mel" But this time, Emma didn't hold on to Liam's hand. She bit down hard on the fleshy part of his hand, and he released her involuntarily due to the pain.

She soon fell downward, landing with a thud on the ground. It was the second floor, not very high, but her landing posture was limited, and despite her curling up to cushion the fall, she still felt a burning pain in her spine.

Liam watched her escape into the night.

Two figures swiftly passed by Liam's side; his subordinates were about to chase after Emma, but he stopped them. "No need to follow." "But her..." Liam's subordinate was cut off before finishing the sentence. His gaze coldly swept over his men. "They've already arranged people around us; haven't you noticed?" The subordinates remained silent, ashamed. Indeed, without Liam's reminder, they had not detected anything. Liam had a suspect in mind but wasn't sure. "Let's go back to lovine Estate now." "What about the woman in the villa. "Liam's subordinate reminded him.

Speaking of Aria, Liam's expression gradually turned cold. "Watch her. Don't let her be taken away" "Okay" 1/3 08:27 Mon, 8 Jul W Chapter 41 Liam hurried back to licovine Estate to confirm his suspicion.

There was a secret passage from the abandoned villa to Icovine Estate, very close in a straight line, which he could reach in just ten minutes. Ifit was Emma, there was no way she could get hbefore him.

if he arrived at Icovine Estate and Emma wasn't there, his guess was likely correct.

At the entrance of tcovine Estate, Liam sat in his wheelchair, straightening his collar, arid took a deep breath.

Creakt He pushed open the door, greeted by the old maid Wilmot. It was late at night, everyone else was asleep, only she was preparing breakfast for tomorrow, warmly welcoming him at the entrance. "Hi, Mr. Hall," "Is Emma back?" Liam asked.

"Hmm, Mrs. Hall has been hall along. Has she gone out?" Wilmot was puzzled.

Liam's handsbrows furrowed slightly as he directed his wheelchair straight to the second floor.

The bedroom door was closed, and Liam, forgetting to knock, p k, pushed it open. The large double bed was empty, Emma wasn't home! Liam's mood grew increasingly complex at that moment, as various signs indicated Emma....

"Mr. Hall?" Just then, Emma's soft voice cfrom the room.

Liam's body relaxed. "Emma? Are you taking a shower?" sleep until now." "Yes." Emma's voice sounded completely normal. "I was so tired from homework today that I couldn't sleep "I'm coming in." Due to his suspicious nature, Liam wasn't content with just hearing her voice; he needed to see for himself that she was in the room.

"What? Okay, letjust wrap myself in a towel...” In fact, Emma hadn't fully wrapped herself in the towel before Liam had already entered.

He e saw Emma naked in the bathtub.

She looked displeased. "What's wrong? Couldn't you wait forto finish speaking?" Liam scanned the bathroom before looking back at Emma, smiling calmly. "I haven't seep you all evening and was afraid you might have sneaked out." Emma raised an eyebrow. "Now you've seen me, satisfied?" He watched her, and she was actually equally cautious.

Tonight's events were too thrilling. She didn't know how much Liam had guessed or why he had reached out to save her in the end. "You've seennow. I've finished my bath, so I'm going to change. Why don't you go out first?"
