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

”I apologize for my husband's inconvenience, officers.” Lillie apologetically expressed. ”I'll take it from here.”

”In the end, it was the missus who found her husband.” The head of security humorously said to lighten the tense atmosphere; thankfully, it did. ”We're glad you're here now, ma'am. Your husband was worried sick.”

”I can tell.” Lillie lightly giggled. ”I'm sorry, he can be so dramatic sometimes. I hope he didn't scared everyone too much.”

”Not at all, ma'am.” The head of security was obviously lying through his teeth with his awkward chuckles.

”Uhm, I thought your wife has ash blonde hair and blue eyes?” One of the guards chimed curiously.

”I actually had my hair done today.” Lillie swiftly lied, flipping her hair to showcase her new look.

Lillie explained that her new job doesn't allow them to have dyed hair that was as flamboyant as hers. For her eyes, she said she was wearing blue contacts—for vanity reasons—before she left home. She had to take them off in the salon because the hair chemicals irritated her eyes.

Everyone oohed in understanding.

That makes perfect sense.

In his panic earlier, Ethan accidentally described her with her real characteristics. He couldn't have expect that she would come here with a disguise.

Moreover, how else could he find her?

But as expected of his wife, she could slither her way out of any trouble.

”It seems my husband was too used of me with ash blonde hair that he forgot I'll be having black hair again soon.” Lillie laughed it off.

No one could sense her lies. Ethan admits that he also would've been swayed if he doesn't know the truth.

The whole ordeal ended with everyone's mood uplifted by Lillie's charm and manipulating skills. Before leaving the security room, Lillie made Ethan apologize to the security for causing a ruckus and threatening them.

”Where are we going?” Ethan asked as Lillie pulled him to the elevator instead of the exit.

”I was on my way home an hour ago when I accidentally ran over someone.” Lillie divulged.

”What? Are you alright?” Was Ethan's immediate reply. ”Were you hurt?”

Lillie's lips twitched upward. ”I'm alright, but the person I ran over wasn't.”

”But that doesn't explain why you weren't answering my calls.” Ethan frowned.

”My phone died. I was actually about to call you, but the plan was interrupted when I ran over the guy. I took him here, and I had to wait for the doctor's results. When I left his room and was about to give you a call again, a guard informed me that the whole hospital was looking for a certain someone's wife.”

Ethan avoided the look she was giving him.

Wow, those are some coincidental interventions. Fate seemed to had too much fun messing around.

But wait—

”Who's this guy?” He grumbled, jealousy painting his devilish features. If it wasn't for him, his wife would've been home, safe in his arms, on time.

Pray that he's in a coma, or else Ethan will personally make sure that he is for nearly making him lose control over his sanity.

”I have the feeling that you might know him.”
