C59 A Silent Man.

The man wrapped his arms around her and closed his cold eyes.

Lydia's heart skipped a beat when she heard his words.

What did he mean?

In the dark room.

Lydia's body tensed up as she stood beside the man.

She pushed the man away in fear, wanting to get out of bed. However, the man held her tighter and tighter, until she couldn't move at all.

The man's overbearing restraint made Lydia's breathing stagnate.

Fear gripped her heart, and her entire body stiffened. She trembled violently.

"Don't be afraid. I won't hurt you."

The man opened his mouth again, his eyes still closed.

Lydia heard him and turned to look at the man beside her.

Why did this man seem so strange?

Why did she feel that the man was not as cold as before?

Was it just her imagination?

Hmm, it must be her imagination.

An illusion!

Lydia took a deep breath and forced out the fluctuation that she shouldn't have. Her face regained its calm.

"Reece."

"..."

The man closed his eyes and did not say anything, but Lydia's nose turned sour and she continued hoarsely, "Let me go?"

"..." The man still did not say anything, but she could feel that his body had stiffened for a second.

She knew that he was listening.

She spoke again, "Sign it. We can clear our debts now."

"..."

There was no response from the man in the dark room.

Lydia felt her eyes turn sour as tears once again flowed down her cheeks.

In the end, he still wouldn't let her go.

In order to avenge Maria, he had turned her into a cripple. Now, he even wanted to imprison her?

Reece, you're so cruel!

The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. She suddenly shook off the man's arm and sat up stubbornly, wanting to go back to her bed.

"Lydia!"

Suddenly, the man who had been silent all this time spoke.

She froze. Seeing that the man was no longer talking, she continued to get off the bed in disappointment.

However, she was forcefully pulled back into the man's arms by a large hand. "Don't move around anymore. You're disturbing my sleep!"

"Reece, what are you trying to do?"

Lydia was completely shaken by the man's unpredictable actions. She roared in anger.

"Sleep."

The man lightly threw out a sentence and closed his eyes again.

However, Lydia was completely devastated. The tears that she had been holding back this entire time had finally burst out.

She understood that no matter what she did, this man would never let her go.

In the past, the man had hated and coldly treated her, causing her heart to ache. But now, he was even gentler than before, and it was even more torturous...

Was this another way to torture her?

Lydia, who was forced to lie beside the man, was lost in her thoughts. Perhaps it was because she had no time to think about the terrifying memories of her previous life, but that night, she actually fell asleep beside the man for the first time.

He slept soundly.

But tonight, it was another person who couldn't fall asleep.

Even with the presence of Lydia, Reece still couldn't fall asleep. He couldn't help but think back to the interrogation he had just received.

He got out of bed and walked out of the bedroom every day.

Standing on the balcony, he took a deep puff from the cigarette in his hand. He gazed at the horizon with a complicated expression.

The smoke covered his face, so he couldn't see what he was feeling at that moment.

Ding...

Ding, ding, ding...

The phone beside the bed rang. Lydia was startled awake.

Her first reaction was not to touch the phone, but to look at the direction of the phone.

Was it empty?

Reece left?

The phone was cold. He must have left.

Good!

She heaved a sigh of relief. Her tensed nerves finally relaxed.

"Lydia, your grandmother is sick. Hurry up and come to the hospital!" Her father's anxious voice came from the phone. Lydia narrowed her eyes. "Is it very serious?"

"I fainted this morning. I haven't woken up yet." Benny was so anxious that he was sweating. "I'm afraid that your grandmother will..."

"Your father is afraid that your grandmother will be too old to leave, so he wants you, Reece, to come over quickly. If there's nothing else, then it's good. If something really happens, you'll be able to see your grandmother for the last time."

Eliza saw that Benny didn't want to say anything, so she took the phone and explained in a low voice.

They were afraid that if she didn't come at this time, outsiders would poke her back and say that she was unfilial.

After all, they had experienced too many things like this, so they became more careful.

Lydia raised her eyebrows.

'Is it that serious?'

She turned her head and looked at the calendar on the side. She frowned as she looked at the date on the 8th of June.

If she remembered correctly, on this day in her previous life, Janie had organized a celebration banquet for Viola. While she was happy, she had also made three cups of white wine!

At that time, Janie didn't have any problems with her health.

'Why did she have a problem this time?'

'Could it be that she fainted from anger after reading the media reports?'

"Lydia?"

Just as she was lost in her thoughts, her mother's voice came from the phone, "Are you listening?"

"I'm here, Mom. I'll be right back."

"Alright."

After putting away the phone, Lydia got up and walked into the bathroom.

Standing in front of the dressing table, she looked at her reflection in the mirror. Her eyes were swollen from crying, and her teeth bit her pink lips.

'Useless!'

'What can crying solve?'

'Next time, don't cry anymore!'

'Lydia, you just need to find evidence to prove your innocence!'

'When the time comes, the evidence will fall in front of Reece.'

'He will definitely sign the contract happily.'

'Right!'

'He will definitely sign the contract.'

Lydia's words had given her the motivation to fight back.

After washing up, she changed her clothes and put on a pair of flat shoes. Then, she walked out of the door with her face bare.

Just as she reached the staircase, she glanced at Reece, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room.

She paused for a moment.

However, she only paused for a second before she returned to her usual calm self and continued walking downstairs.

"Where are you going?"

Just as she was about to walk out of the door, a man's voice suddenly came from behind her.

Lydia bit her lip and ignored him. She continued walking out of the door.

She didn't want to be in contact with this man in the future. She didn't want him to disturb her mood.

"Going to the hospital to visit Old Madam Ann?"

The man's questioning voice came from behind her again, but Lydia stopped in her tracks.

How did he know?

Could it be that her parents had called him?

"How about we go together?" After saying that, the man put down the coffee cup in his hand and walked towards the woman.

Hearing the footsteps behind her, Lydia frowned again and again.

The more she didn't want to think about it, the more it came to her.

Just like that, the two of them took the same car to the hospital.

In the underground parking lot of the hospital.

Lydia lifted her hand to lock the door, wanting to get out of the car, but she realized that the door was locked.

At this moment, the man who was sitting beside her on the side walked over.

Lydia panicked and turned around to stop the man from approaching her. "What are you doing?"
