Chapter 209 She was Insane
However, her wound still hurt with every step that she took as sweat continued forming around her
forehead. Leila couldn't help but blame everything on Lyla. She's insane! It's fine that she wants to
bully Camila, but dragging Silas into this? Lyla wasn't seeking death by doing this. Instead, sheâs
dragging the entire family to die along with her!
They got up to the third floor using the staircase. There was still a complete room here with a door
and windows. Silas pulled Camila backward before he brought his leg up and kicked the door.
However, they were dumbfounded when they entered the room, for it was already empty. However,
there were eaten lunch boxes as well as ropes used for bonding and some dried bloodstains; all of
this pointed to the fact that they were once here! Camilaâs mind started buzzing before going
completely blank. Then, she started searching around the room frantically. Silas was stunned as he
stood rooted to the ground. They've left. Did they leave after realizing that we'd found out about
their location, or did someone come to rescue them?
Silas took his phone out and contacted Xavier. âDid you guys rescue the kid?â Xavierâ anxious voice
rang out from the other end of the call. âPresident Nolan, we haven't found him yet. However, we've
already gotten their location. They're now in a demolished building in the suburbs.â Silas felt his
heart sink. âWe are here, but they're already gone!â âWhat? You guys are there already? They're
gone? Could it be that they've already relocated?â Silas was worried about that as well. âLet's
regroup here for now!â Then, he took Leilaâs phone and tried to contact Lyla again. However, this
time, the phone was turned off.
At the same time, Camila had already searched through the entire room. She looked like she was in
a panic. "No. It looks like they went down willingly, and there were many of them. There are many
footprints in the room and on the staircase-there should be at least six of them!â Silas immediately
tried to console Camila. âDonât be anxious. Let's head down and see if we can find any leads.â
Camila asked, âWhat about her phone? Did the call go through?â Silas shook his head. âShe turned
off her phone!â Immediately, Camila dashed toward Leila, as if she had gone insane, as she grabbed
onto Leila's collar and demanded, âTell me! Where is Lyla? Where is she?!â
Leilaâs collar tightened around her neck, and she was struggling to speak. âI really donât know! I've
been with you guys the entire time!â Camila was panicking. This felt so much worse than not being
able to locate them. It was as if she had fallen into an endless hole, and, after spending so much
effort to climb up, she fell back into the hole again. The fear of the unknown was magnified in the
dark night. She was losing her rationality as she tried to think clearly. Could it be that Gael had
contacted Lyla and informed her to get away? If it weren't so, how could it be so coincidental? â
Camila took her phone and immediately contacted Gael before asking in a bone-chilling tone, âDid
you contact Lyla and told her to get away?â Gael's voice rang from the phone. âNo, I didn't!"
Camilaâs eyes were reddish as tears threatened to pour out. âIf you hadn't informed her, how did
Lyla manage to escape? Gael... y-you're really cruel...â Camilaâs last sentence was laced with so much
pain and helplessness. Silas felt like someone was slashing his heart as he watched the woman in
front of him shake while holding the phone. Immediately, he went over to her and pulled her into
his embrace before he snatched her phone over and hung up. âIt could not have been your father.
He wouldn't dare to pull that off since Leila is in our hands now. I've already warned him about it!â
Camila was horrified. âThat insane woman wouldn't really want to bring South to the depths of hell
along with her, would she?â
Silas patted Camilaâs back lightly before he consoled her, âShe won't. No one wants to die. Don't
scare yourself like that.â
