Chapter 784 Hero to the rescue

"Let's just wait," Otis said thoughtfully, "Because if dad comes forward, he's going to put Spencer in harm's way, and we don't know if he's going to do anything to hurt Lucia and the baby."

Sophie certainly understood Edwin's temperament, and after some thought, she agreed.

"Well, let's just wait another day and see what Esmae is up to. Hopefully, she has a plan for Spencer."

Arthur came over and asked his mother what Otis was talking about. Sophie and Otis wouldn't add fuel to the fire, so she went a little over the subject and asked Arthur how his deployment was going. Finally, this topic was ignored.

There was no moonlight tonight. There were layers of dark clouds in the sky, and a star at the link of dark clouds, but it can not illuminate the whole earth.

Casper and a group of his men arrived at the foot of the mountain where Lucia was being held.

"God help me. This weather is perfect for saving."

Leon, who was standing aside, was less cheerful and less talkative than usual. Casper noticed and said,

"Don't worry. We're outnumbered, but we're in the dark. Just sneak in and take care of the guards one by one."

Leon nodded in a muffled voice. It wasn't the danger that worried him the most.

"Remember, if Lucia sees you later, tell her that you work for Miles. Lucia is very smart, and she can easily find out." Casper was conspiring with Leon again. "Got it," Leon said.

Casper nodded his head in satisfaction, and with a word of command, the group dived up the hill under cover of thick woods.

At this moment, the guards in the villa were completely unaware. Each of them had their own duties. They walked back and forth between the entire villa, as if everything was going on according to the schedule before.

Late at night, everything began to change.

Perhaps because of their confidence, none of the guards had expected a stranger to sneak into the villa, so they were just making a normal patrol. Casper and his team were all veterans, and they had investigated the villa's situation beforehand, so it was very easy to get rid of a few guards, and they actually went up to the second floor without alerting anyone.

Casper told the others to take care of the guards. Leon stood guard at the top of the stairs while he took the key he had just found. He took a deep breath and opened the door.

Lucia woke up as soon as the key was turned. She slept normally these days, but she couldn't get any comfort sleep. It was only a short rest.

When she opened her eyes in the dark, Lucia listened quietly to the sounds coming from the door. It should be close to midnight now. The guards would never disturb her at this time unless... Spencer?!

Just as Lucia thought this, a cautious voice came from the doorway.

"Ms. Webb, are you there?"

Lucia turned her head away in an instant, her large black eyes twinkling in the darkness.

Why him?!

Lucia would never mistake Casper for his unusually low, husky voice.

"Ms. Webb..." when there was no response, Casper crept toward the bed and called out to Lucia again.

"How did you know about this place?" If it was someone else, Lucia would have asked for help, but it was Casper who was suspicious. She did not dare to take it lightly. She sat up slowly and asked coldly. Casper's eyes had adjusted to the darkness, and his were fixed on the figure sitting on the bed. Lucia's starry eyes sparkled even in the darkness. In the dim light outside the window, her figure was hazy, but all the more mysterious and alluring. Casper's heart thumped as he made his long-thought-out pitch.

"I'm sorry. Spencer kidnapped me, and my dad had people following him because he was afraid he was going to hurt me again. That's how I know he's keeping you here."

Lucia's brow twitched, and she asked Casper,

"Did you come alone?"

Casper immediately replied, "My father's bodyguards are following me. Ms. Webb, run away with me right now. If you hesitate any longer, you won't have a chance!"

"Why didn't you inform Arthur?" Lucia continued, unimpressed that Casper was no less dangerous than Spencer.

Casper frowned, hesitated, and said,

"Ms. Webb, I didn't have time to think about it after you're in danger and all I want to do is save your life."

Lucia did not respond. Her eyes were fixed on Casper. Unfortunately, the light was not bright enough to observe the expression on his face. However, Lucia trusted her instincts. This man's purpose in rescuing her was not simple.

"Ms. Webb, why are you still hesitating? Time waits for no one." Casper was not pretending to be nervous. The guards in the villa were not completely resolved, and accidents could happen at any time.

It didn't make any difference to Lucia now. She can't read Casper's mind. What if he was another villain?

"Do you have your cell phone with you?" Lucia asked slowly, not in a hurry.

Casper was unable to respond. Lucia's reaction was completely different from what he had expected. He had thought that she would ask him to take her away as soon as she saw him, but what did she mean by taking her time now?

"Don't you have your cell phone with you?" Lucia asked.

"Ms. Webb, it's important to run away now. If you want to make a phone call, you should wait for us to be safe!" Casper could only excuse himself. He walked a few steps forward as he spoke, and his words were filled with anxiety.

Lucia scoffed,

"Stop right there. You know that I am kidnapped by Spencer, but you didn't inform Arthur. Even if you didn't inform him, you could have called the police, right? Why did you come to save me alone? Casper, what are you trying to do!?"

Casper frowned and was silent for a moment. Thinking of an unexpected answer, he said bluntly,

"I want to save you myself, Ms. Webb... I want to have a relationship with you that's closer than normal."

"Is that reason worth risking your life to save me?" Lucia asked.

"It's worth it!" Casper answered without hesitation. It was the answer he had in his heart.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

Just as Lucia was about to ask more questions, Leon hurried into the room and urged Casper.

"Let's go. They've already taken care of the guards. If we don't leave soon, they'll have to inform Spencer when they wake up!"

Casper nodded and turned to Lucia.

"Ms. Webb, please come with me right now!"
