Substitute Bride For Young Master
Chapter 19's
In the water, Lorie closed her eyes and held her breath. Exercises like this have been through since he was a dozen years old. It is not difficult to conserve oxygen in the blood cells and hold the remaining carbon dioxide in the lungs for longer.
All he needs to do is get his body and heart into the “mati suri” phase by giving orders to his brain to regulate his heartbeat to slow down from the tempo it should.
The guards standing around the barrel frowned in astonishment as the air bubbles rising to the surface of the water only happened once in a minute. It looked very unnatural, but no one dared to take action without orders from their superiors. On the count of ten, they were all shocked when Lorie's head jolted upwards with a deep and long breath sound.
No one dared to move when they saw the woman's abdominal muscles contracting at maximum until her back formed a 90-degree angle. Miraculously, the woman was able to maintain that position for nearly five minutes. He breathed normally, collecting a lot of oxygen before again relaxing the abdominal muscles so that his head was again dipped into the water barrel and returned to “hibernation” mode.
“Do we have to report it to Mr?” ask one of the men who are standing guard.
“Master ordered to leave him like that until he wants to talk,” said his partner. "Doesn't that mean just leave it as long as he's still hanging there?"
There were at least six burly men in the dark, stuffy room, and they all looked a little shocked by the scene just now. If it wasn't for looking with their own eyes, they wouldn't believe it. Only people who have joined the military have been able to do something as extreme as it was, or at least. Between those two possibilities, it seemed like the second one made the most sense, as they thought.
In the water, Lorie's head surrounded by a puddle caught the faint echo of a voice, sounding like it was coming from a very distant place. He could not hear it clearly, but it was more than enough to keep his consciousness awake.
Mr. Alex, I hope you send help immediately ....
Lorie was more worried about what Raymond did last night than being beaten like this. If Alex could send people to rescue her in time, she would not have to worry about the consequences she would have to endure ...
If there is a baby, it is not the fault of the baby so it must be removed by force. Even though it was formed by mistake, he still had the right to live. As a woman who lived alone for more than half of her life, Lorie highly valued a pure life that had not been tarnished by all forms of evil.
Especially since watching Kinara Lee had to lose his life for the sake of his three babies. It changed Lorie's perception of life.
On the other side of the continent, Billy welcomes Alex who has just returned from a parent meeting. Alex never activates his phone while taking care of the interests of children. He does not want to be disturbed or interrupted while listening to reports about the development of triplets in schools.
Looking at Billy's anxious and nervous face, Alex could have guessed that something had happened. She immediately asks her children to go up to their room, and asks Billy to follow her into the study.
“What's up, Billy?”
“Lorie disappeared since early morning,” replied Billy. He sat down on the chair across the table and continued, “I've told people to track, but only the last location was found. His phone fell in front of a pharmacy not far from the hotel. The tracking device in her clothes was found in a garbage can, a block away from the spot.”
Alex took a breath. After reading a message from Lorie last night, he immediately asked the woman to return to Broocklyn. I don't know what made him go to the pharmacy in the morning blind. He had suspected Rafael was not an easy person to trust, and now he was convinced Lorie's disappearance had something to do with the man.
“Invite people to investigate Drun Industry,” his orders to Billy. “Begging the hotel to check what time Lorie came out this morning, match the CCTV footage of the street in front of the pharmacy. There should have been a car showing up in front of the pharmacy in that span of time. Browse where it went.”
Billy paused for a moment before replying, “But. Venice has different jurisdictions with—“
“I don't care. Find a way,” by Alex. “Bring back Lorie alive.”
“Good. I understand.”
Billy wakes up and walks out of Alex's study. He took his phone out of his pants pocket and dialed a special number on his phone.
Not only Alex, he already considers Lorie as a sister. He felt guilty for the woman's disappearance because he was supposed to have gone to Venice. If anything happened to Lorie, she would not be able to forgive herself.
