Chapter 545 I Wont Hurt You (1/2)

With a grim face, Sam looked at Yilia and continued, ”She didn't lie. Beryl really is Mr. Jacob's daughter. Now, where is the kid? Where do you keep her?”

”What?” Yilia stammered. Her eyes suddenly opened wide in disbelief. She shook her head multiple times, and her eyebrows furrowed in a frown. She bit her lip and cried out, ”Impossible! That's impossible! You can't possibly know that! Mr. Jacob himself told me that he has no daughter.”

'How is that possible? That brat? That little, lying girl is Mr. Jacob's daughter?

This man must be deceiving me!' Yilia thought with a huge frown on her face.

She looked at Sam and wondered if he really was lying in front of her. When she saw how serious he looked, Yilia swallowed a lump on her throat. She couldn't accept the fact that Beryl was really Jacob's daughter, because she obviously knew what awaited her. Once Jacob found out what she did to his daughter, there was no wonder that Jacob would kill her.

On the other hand, Sam observed Yilia's expression. He honestly didn't care what she was thinking about. All he cared about was Beryl and Emily, who were the most important people in Jacob's life. He was willing to do whatever it took to protect both of them.

He adjusted his grip on her collar and tightened it. Yilia winced. The indifference that covered Sam's face was as cold as ice. When Yilia still wouldn't talk, he asked again, ”Where is the kid? Where is she? Tell me!”

”The kid… she… um… she…” Yilia stammered and lowered her head to avoid his piercing eyes. She swallowed another lump on her throat and replied, looking anywhere but him. ”I... Honestly, I don't know! After she cut my wrist yesterday, she ran away to God knows where! Believe me, I don't know where she is right now.”

”And you let a little kid run off like that?” Same glared at Yilia and tightened her collar once more to make her look at him. Yilia shook and couldn't answer in fear. After a moment, Sam finally loosend his grip and let go of Yilia. He looked at his hands with disgust as if he just threw trash with his own bare hands. He placed a hand on his temple and ordered, ”Take her away.”

Yilia's eyes widened as several men clad in black suit entered the ward after getting Sam's order. They held Yilia by the arms and dragged her violently, pulling her away without mercy.

Yilia struggled as she was being dragged out. She glared at Sam and exclaimed, ”What are you doing? What is this? We're in a damn hospital! You can't do this to me! It's against the law! Let me go!”

Sam ignored Yilia's cries. His face didn't budge and stayed indifferent, but deep inside he was already anxious and lost in thought.

Why did Beryl come back alone from D country? How could Emily let her child alone? 'She is only five years old, but clearly, she already had been trafficked and deceived for the past few days. Now, the little girl is wandering alone, most probably lost and scared. Who knows what could and would happen to her?'

Sam thought. He also wondered what happened to Mr. Jacob and why he forgot about Beryl and Emily.
