Chapter 459 The City That Never Sleeps (2/2)

This is your Aunt. Have you seen Lynn these past few days?” Her aunt sounded so anxious on the other end of the line.

”No, I haven't seen her in so long. Why? What's the matter?” Carla asked while she lifted the quilt and finally got up from the bed.

”Carla, your uncle and I couldn't contact her since yesterday. We-we don't know where she is or if she's safe. This has never happened before. Lynn, that girl, does not have a habit of turning off her phone. I'm afraid that something bad happened to her. Carla, do you have any idea where she might have gone to?”

Her aunt was so worried that she couldn't con

and held back the impulse to vomit since she still had the consciousness and determination that she had to check whether Lynn was one of the two ladies. So she peeked inside the room one more time and felt relieved when she was sure that Lynn was not in there.

She was planning to close the door for them quietly and discreetly when the man happened to turn back and look at the door with his eyes half-closed. It all happened so suddenly that Carla didn't know what to do.

She didn't want to be seen by him so she reached out to cover her face and closed the door quickly.

After she made sure that the door was closed tightly, she held onto her chest and sighed deeply.

Shaking her head helplessly, she thought, 'Johnny, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person.

Now that I found out about this, I will never fall in love with you even if I had the opportunity to choose my lover again.'

She turned her back and proceeded to walk to the end of the hallway as quickly as she could. Finally, she saw Lynn sleeping on a small sofa. She looked really drunk and seemed to be in deep sleep.

As she stared at Lynn in that kind of state, Carla didn't know what to say or do. She gently patted Lynn on the face and called, ”Lynn, are you alright? Lynn, wake up!”

However, after trying really hard to wake her up, Carla couldn't believe that she didn't have even the tiniest of reaction. Lynn didn't even move an inch! Helplessly and patiently, Carla went closer to her. Then, she shook her body while she repeatedly said, ”Lynn, this is your cousin, Carla. Wake up right now. Can you hear me? I'm going to take you home.”

Lynn laid still on the sofa while Carla tried to wake her up vigorously. Feeling uncomfortable, she then opened her eyes, looked around and then stopped on Carla's face. She was still in a daze and couldn't figure out where she was.

However, she seemed to recognize Carla and asked confusedly, ”Cousin, why are you here?”

”Lynn, do you know how worried and anxious your parents are about you? Stand up right now and come back with me this instant. Quickly!” Carla was a little angry and upset to see her act like this. She pulled her arm and tried to make her stand up.

With Carla's help and urging, Lynn then stood up. However, she was unsteady and needed to rely on Carla. After being confused and disoriented for a while, she then remembered where she was and hurried to pick up her bag from the sofa. Then, she followed Carla out of the room.

Carla turned to look at Lynn and knew that it finally dawned on her, the seriousness of what she did. Her anger then abated. She held Lynn's arm and together, they walked out of the room as quickly as they could.

However, just as they were passing by Johnny's room, the door flew wide open.
