Chapter 112: Chapter 112

It wasn’t until the afternoon of the next day that she slowly awoke. By then, the fever had already subsided, leaving needle marks on the back of her hand.

When she woke up, there was no one to take care of her, so she went to the kitchen and helped herself to half a bowl of leftover porridge.

She lay there, feeling completely groggy.

Several servants from the dormitory returned, chatting merrily among themselves.

Thinking she was still asleep, they spoke freely without any reservation.

"I heard tomorrow Country F is coming for a state visit. It seems to involve economic talks, and entrepreneurs from our country will attend at the Presidential Mansion. I hope I can see Charles Sharp, I like him."

"I still prefer Jacob Green."

"They will definitely attend, but can we enter the national banquet?"

"Even if we can’t get in, we can ask guard friends inside to take photos for us."

No one knew how excited Lucy Eaton was at that moment. Whether it was Jacob Green or Charles Sharp, as long as she could see them, she could leave the Presidential Mansion.

Her face improved somewhat because of her excitement.

Having slept too long, she found herself without much sleepiness in the evening.

On the next day’s morning, she got up early to do work.

Another servant showed concern for her, "Lucy, is your body okay? Maybe you should rest a bit more."

She smiled and shook her head, "I’m fine now."

After breakfast, Nick came over, expressionless, saying, "His Highness wants to see you."

Lucy Eaton went upstairs to Emma Bennett’s room.

She greeted respectfully, "Greetings, Your Highness."

It was her first time addressing him in such a manner during their meeting.

Emma Bennett was slightly surprised, "When did you become so courteous?"

She didn’t answer but asked in return, "Did Your Highness have any instructions for me?"

"How is your health?"

"Read me a book, the one on the table."

The book on the table was obviously placed there by his arrangement with Nick.

She picked up the book and started reading it out loud, word by word.

Today she had no idle chatter; she wouldn’t speak unless he asked.

At nine-thirty, Nick came and said, "Your Excellency instructed His Highness to attend as well."

"Prepare clothes for me," he said and then spoke to Lucy Eaton, "Lucy, you may go now and continue reading in the afternoon."

Lucy Eaton responded and left the room.

Upon exiting the living room, she saw the garage door open.

To get from Blossom Haven to the airport requires a car, not to mention the Presidential Mansion. Emma Bennett obviously wouldn’t walk to attend the national banquet.

Thus, she had a thought and walked towards the garage, sneaking in unobserved.

The car door was open, and Lucy Eaton moved to the car’s rear, testing with her hand to open the trunk, which surprisingly opened.

She climbed in and hid in the trunk.

After about twenty minutes, Emma Bennett came over with Nick.

Nick drove the car, with Emma Bennett seated in the back.

Once this car was on its way, another car followed, which was the security team.

Lucy Eaton shrank in the trunk, hardly daring to breathe, fearing Emma Bennett would discover her presence.

Fortunately, Emma Bennett did not discover her.

Upon reaching the venue for the national banquet, the car was parked in a designated parking area.

Lucy Eaton was wildly excited internally; there were so many cars here. As long as she found Jacob Green’s car, she could be saved. Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by NoveI★Fire.net

After Emma Bennett and Nick left with the bodyguards, she quickly lowered the back seat, found the emergency escape lever in the trunk, and used it to get out, even though the car was locked.

After getting out of the car, Lucy Eaton immediately crouched and moved in another direction.

She had to hurry and find Jacob Green’s car.

To her surprise, she hadn’t found Jacob Green’s car yet but saw Charles Sharp getting out of his car.

"Charles." Her voice was not loud but enough for Charles Sharp to hear.

When his gaze fell on her, Charles Sharp could hardly believe she would be here.

Without another word, he walked over to her, "Lucy, why are you here?"

"It’s a long story. Could you let me into the car first? I have injuries."

Upon hearing this, Charles Sharp immediately took her to the car.

"I’m going to attend the national banquet now. You wait here for me."

She nodded, "Okay, you go."

Charles Sharp opened the window a bit, then left with his people.

Lucy Eaton felt completely at ease; she could finally sleep since she hadn’t slept the previous night.

When she awoke again, it was when the banquet was dispersing.

She immediately saw the group of people talking ahead, including Charles Sharp, Emma Bennett, and Jacob Green.

It hadn’t been long since she last saw him, but Jacob Green seemed to have become much thinner.

Seeing him, her eyes suddenly turned red; she longed to get out of the car and embrace him.

But reason told her she couldn’t do that.

After all, this was the Presidential Mansion.

Anyway, she was about to leave, waiting just this moment longer.

Lucy Eaton focused on watching Jacob Green return to his car, and she caught a glimpse of Emma Bennett.

She withdrew her gaze because Charles Sharp was getting into the car.

"Lucy, the checks at the Presidential Mansion are strict. You need to hide in the trunk for now, or we might not be able to leave."

She complied, and as they passed through the gate, Charles Sharp’s car door was opened, and the inspecting personnel glanced inside before passing through.

At that moment, Lucy Eaton suddenly thought of Emma Bennett’s mention of applying for identity.

If he wished, he could just drive out of the Presidential Mansion once, having her hidden in the trunk to send her out.

But he was unwilling to take such a risk.

He wanted to take the proper route.

However, she did not blame him, as she wasn’t anyone significant to him, not even a friend; he had no need to risk himself for her.

Lucy Eaton was deeply grateful for his life-saving assistance, hoping to repay this generous favor someday.

Having exited the Presidential Mansion, she moved from the trunk to the back seat.

"Lucy, quickly tell me, how did you end up in the Presidential Mansion?"

"I encountered a group of bad people earlier; they kidnapped me and even tried to bury me alive. I managed to escape, thanks to Second Highness Emma Bennett rescuing me, but entering the Presidential Mansion makes it difficult to leave; identity application is required. I was supposed to wait quite some time to get out, but I heard you would be attending the banquet today, so I tried my luck."

"Who were those bad people?"

She shook her head, "I don’t know, but their target wasn’t me; they mistook me for someone else."

"You’ve lost a lot of weight." Charles Sharp looked at her, "You must have suffered a lot. Where were you injured?"

"I got shot twice in the stomach; the rest are minor injuries."

"Then I’ll take you to the hospital now."

She shook her head, "No need, I want to return to Ningham quickly; my husband couldn’t reach me and must be worried."

"Why not use my phone to call him first?"

"No need, I’ll be home soon." She asked worryingly, "Having escaped from the Presidential Mansion, Second Highness will surely investigate; the parking area has surveillance. If you are implicated in the investigation, how will you respond?"
