Chapter 353

The kidnappers were the ones who had suffered, but no one in the room would believe him.

“Shut up and stand still!” Lily did not even have to glare at him as a police officer had already kicked him from the back. Leonel wanted to cry badly and had never felt so humiliated.

“Let’s leave. It’s so scary here. I don’t want to stay any longer.” Lily tilted her head at Alexander and spoke to him softly.

“All right, let’s leave!” He agreed. Alexander was able to come along with the police because he had lost contact with Lily and immediately sought the help of the police department in Westwood.

The moment Lily called the police, they contacted him right away. Now that she was rescued, the police would just need Lily to answer some standard questions about the kidnapping, and then she was good to go. However, Alexander was worried that Lily needed time and was tired, so he spoke to the team captain, saying he would bring Lily in another day for the standard procedures.

After ensuring everything was done, he took Lily and her unconscious assistant back.

“Were you hurt?”

Although Alexander had already asked her once, they were still not home, so he could not check on her thoroughly. Alexander could not help but worry about her, so he asked again.

After the police did a background check on the criminals they apprehended, they were surprised to find out the three men were wanted criminals internationally. The police were glad about this unexpected turnout as they could capture these criminals who had been off the radar for a long time.

However, Alexander was worried sick. They were wanted criminals, meaning they were cruel and ruthless. When Lily was kidnapped, how helpless and afraid she must have been. He could not help but hug her tighter when he thought about this.

“I’m fine, just tired,” she said, shaking her head and leaning into his embrace.

After all, she had gone all out in the fight with those criminals. Her muscles were aching as if her bones were to break too. She only wanted to lie down and not move at all. She was pleasantly surprised that Alexander had come all the way here. She knew he would be worried if he noticed that she had disappeared, but she did not expect him to fly across the ocean and join the rescue mission along with the police team. Lily recognized that she was very important to Alex, and he had gone all the way to protect and love her. It was an amazing feeling.

“You should just rest,” Alexander reassured her, not wanting to talk anymore to avoid agitating her. His gaze landed on the still-unconscious assistant.

After rescuing her from the wooden house and placing her in the backseat, how was she still not awake after such commotion? He frowned and asked, “What’s wrong with her?”

Lily turned her head toward Giselle, torn between wanting to laugh and feeling sorry for her. Lily smacked her lips and replied, “She was drugged, so she’s still out.”

“Drugged?” Alexander was so worried about Lily’s safety that he had not thought about the details of the kidnapping. Now, hearing Lily talk about being drugged, he finally started to think about how or when she was kidnapped.

“Yup,” Lily nodded, “They pretended to be Lisa’s colleagues and told me that Lisa wanted to speak to me urgently. Giselle was worried about my safety, so she offered to come along and ended up being kidnapped too. I think it was in the car. They had used some drugged car fragrance, which was why...”

“You weren’t drugged?” He was shocked.

Judging from the condition of Lily’s assistant, the drug was quite potent as she did not even stir during the loud commotion in the wooden house, and even now, there were no signs of her waking up.

“Erm...” Lily paused, “I was also...drugged. It might be because I’m so used to these fragrances at work my body might’ ve built a resistance toward them. I was able to wake up soon, but I’m not sure why Giselle’s still unconscious. Let's take her to a doctor to ensure nothing isn’t wrong.”

Alexander agreed as what Lily had said made perfect sense, “We should have the doctor check you as well. Just to make sure that nothing’s wrong.”
