Chapter 368 - 368: Who’s This Guy? (1/2)

”Sir, please calm down. The hospital's security and staffs are doing their best.” The head of security tried to appease the personification of a time bomb, but gravely failed.

No one but his wife can calm this devil.

”How could she be not here when her car is?” Ethan's nervousness was converted into anger. ”Where is the surveillance footage? Show it to me now, or else I will bring this hospital down into ruins!”

”We're already looking into it, sir.” The head of security's ability to keep his composure despite being under pressure is commendable. Very few people could face Ethan's intimidating aura directly.

Though, internally, the head of security is nearing his limits, and is ready to pass out of sheer fright from the killing intent Ethan was leaking out.

The head of security was unaware that it was actually Ethan Li who he's dealing with. Ethan was fortunately rational enough to cover his identity to not evoke public attention—most particularly people with ill intentions.

When Ai found Lillie's location, Ethan's heart nearly leaped out of his mouth.

His pessimistic self couldn't stop the raging tides of images that plagues his mind about the dreadful possibilities that might happen to Lillie and their unborn child.

She's in the hospital, he learned. Due to his anxiety, he could only think of negative, possible answers on why she's here.

Did something happened to her and their baby? Did someone took her there in secret? To what? To hurt her and their baby?!

”Sir, here's the surveillance footage that happened just an hour ago.”

The head of security politely—and cautiously—beckoned him towards the computer monitor. They're inside the hospital's security room. ”This is the car that matched your description of your wife's car.”

He pointed at the car in the surveillance footage coming to a stop by the hospital's entrance. No one came out for a few seconds, and when someone finally did, it was a woman with black hair and in casual clothes.

Ethan perked at the sight.

”Ah, I recognize her.” A security guard that was stationed at the entrance prompted. ”But she's not your wife, isn't she, sir? She doesn't fit the description.”

The woman in the surveillance footage's face wasn't properly caught by the surveillance camera's angle, as if she was intentionally evading it. Additionally, it seems she knows exactly where it was installed.

She frantically ran towards the backseat, opened the door, and pulled out a man. It seemed she was shouting for help when the guards and medical staffs came to her aid.

”That was her brother, I believe. She was in so much panic.”

Ethan was at a loss for words, his brain was having a hard time processing the scene before him.

Who are these people? What are they doing with her car? Where's his wife?!

Suddenly, the door behind them creaked open. Soft footsteps pattered behind him, approaching him in steady pace. A slender hand grasped his shoulder and gently tugged it, urging him to turn at their direction.

His initial reaction was annoyance. Who dared touch him so casually?

Turning around, his thunderous expression faltered. A bespectacled woman with black hair and brown eyes greeted him with a warm smile.

She was the same woman in the surveillance footage. And since he's able to look at her now with clarity, his mind clicked.

It's Lillie!

”You were looking for me, husband?” Lillie's teasing smile and arched eyebrow instantly took an affect in calming his restless nerves. ”I worried you, didn't I? I'm sorry.” Her soft, cool palms cupped his cheeks.

”Lillie,” He breathed, relief washing over him like the first ray of sun after a raging storm. ”Where were you?”

Lillie didn't replied yet. She tilted her head sideways to glance over Ethan's shoulder. Behind him were their quiet spectators—the head of securities, and a few of his subordinates.
