Abel said, âI canât figure out why itâs her either, and that woman is full of malicious intent. I couldnât determine if she was targeting Emma or Lizbeth, but Emma is with me, and Iâll protect her. But I wanted to remind you to be aware and make sure Lizbeth is not in dangerâ
âI understandâ Adrien replied. Tll immediately apply for a flight and head to Altneyâ
Inspector Charles team is also on their way over there! Abel added, âRemember to keep it low.
âGot it. I knowâ
After hangmg up the phone. Adrien was covered in cold sweat.
So Erin Anderson was behind the incident with Lizbethâs car last time?
What does this woman want Regardlest of her intentions, it seems sheâs after Lizbeth or Emmelineâs lifet Emmeline is safe since sheâs with Abel, but what about Lizbeth?
Sheâs with that cunning woman!
This is bad Urgently requesting a helicopter flight, Adrien flew to Altney overnight.
By the time he arrived in Altney, it was already 12.10 am.
Adrien went straight from the tarmac to the Murphy farnilyâs residence.
On the way, he called Lizbeth.
Lizbeth had just finished showering and was blow-drying her hair in front of the vanity mirror.
Hearing her phone ring, she picked it up and saw it was Adrienâs call.
She thought that this guy must be missing her, given how close they had become during this time.
They were practically inseparable.
After only an afternoon apart, not to mention Adrien, she was missing him too.
She answered the call.
âHubby.â
âLaz,â Adrien said. Tll be at the Murphy familyâs residence in about fifteen minutes.â
Lizbeth didnât quite understand. What? Adrien was coming over?
âLizâ Adrien asked, âAre you okay?â
Tmn fine, Lizbeth asked curiously, âBut what about you? Did you come to Altney?â
âYes,â Adrien said, âI just landed in the helicopter.â
âNo way.â Lizbeth pouted, âWeâve only been apart for less than half a day.â
âNo.â Adrien explained. âI was worried about your safety, so I didnât tell you and came over first.â
âHubby, are you running a fever?â Lizbeth teased, Tm perfectly fine, and besides, Iâm just visiting my parents. What could go wrong?â
âIâll explain when I get there.â Adrien said, âItâs hard to talk over the phone.â
âAlright then.â Lizbeth said, âTll have the kitchen prepare some late-night snacks for you.
After ending the call, Lizbeth quickly changed into casual home clothes and prepared to go downstairs.
Her bedroom was on the first floor, the first room on the third floor, with Flynnâs room being the innermost.
As she stepped out, Lizbeth noticed that Flynnâs room door was slightly ajar, letting light spill out from within.
Who was in Flynnâs room?
Curiously, Lizbeth walked over.
The corridor was covered in thick cashmere carpeting, muffling her footsteps as she walked in slippers, âLet me do it, Iâll help you wipe.â Erinâs voice suddenly came from the room.
Lizbeth was startled, pushing the door open, âErin, what are you doing in there?â
Erin inside the room, along with the housekeeper, froze.
Erin had a wet towel in her hand and was standing up from beside Flynnâs bed.
âMs. Murphy,â the housekeeper hurriedly explained. âPlease donât blame Ms. Erin. She was helping me clean Mr. Flynnâs body. You know Mr. Flynn is tall, and I couldnât turn him over by myself; I didnât have enough strength.â
âHow did you manage before?â Lizbeth frowned, snatching the towel from Erinâs hand, âCan anyone just touch Flynn casually?â
âI made a mistake,â the housekeeper hurriedly said, âMr. Flynnâs health has improved recently, and heâs gained weight noticeably. I happened to run into Ms. Erin tonight, otherwise I would have managed on my own.â
âOut!â Lizbethâs face turned cold as she addressed Erin, Flynn doesnât need strangers. Can you bear the responsibility if something goes wrong?â
âIâm sorry, Liz,â Erin lowered her head, her eyes red, âI was just trying to help. If youâre not comfortable, Iâll leave and you donât have to blame the housekeeper. Iâm leaving!â
âHmph!â Lizbeth huffed in annoyance, watching Erin walk out of Flynnâs room.
She doesnât consider herself an outsider, huh?
