Chapter 594: Chapter 594 You Can Not Protect Her

In an instant, she felt desperate.

It seemed to get colder and colder in the darkness. Yvette felt that she had almost lost her mind from the extreme cold.

Yvette wrapped herself tightly in the only blanket that could protect her from the cold. She was so cold that she couldn’t think anymore.

Her only hope was Lance. If everyone found out that she was missing, he would probably think that she was in his office.

Fortunately, no matter how busy Marlon was, he would call Yvette before going to bed to confirm that she was safe.

That night, because he worked too late, he wanted to make a phone call, but he was afraid that Yvette would fall asleep.

Therefore, he sent a text message.

"Yvette, are you asleep?"

After sending the message, he got busy again. There were only a few days left before the baby shower.

In order to bewilder Keith or capture him when necessary, they had to make a lot of arrangements at the venue.

Marlon picked up the design drawing again and double checked.

By the time he put it down, it was already late at night. He picked up his phone to check Yvette’s message, but he found no reply from her.

She might have fallen asleep.

He got up to wash. After taking a shower, he was still worried, so he called the fixed line in the living room of the villa again.

The phone rang for a long time before someone answered it.

He had sent Oliver Holmes and Oliver Holmes to New York. There were only a few servants left in the villa, as well as some bodyguards hidden outside in the car to protect them.

"Hello?"

The servant’s sleepy voice came from the other end of the line.

Marlon frowned. This servant was sleeping so soundly!

"It’s Lynn. Is Yvette asleep?"

Usually, everyone in the villa knew that Lynn was Yvette’s brother.

The servant rubbed her eyes and said, "I don’t know. It seems that Ms. Lynn has not come out of the room for a whole day."

What?

Hearing this, Marlon became more and more uneasy. Now that the babies had been sent away, Yvette didn’t need to take care of them. Why didn’t she come out of the room for a day?

He snapped, "Go and have a look now. Call me back soon!"

Marlon’s voice was too serious, so the servant was suddenly awakened.

She said in a panic, "Yes, sir, I’ll go now!"

Hearing her voice, Marlon said sternly, "Don’t hang up. I’ll be waiting."

"Yes, sir..."

The servant leaned the phone aside and walked away.

About three minutes later, the servant ran back.

Listening to the sound of rapid running on the phone, Marlon felt more uneasy.

The servant picked up the phone, gasped, and said, "Mr. Lynn, I have knocked on Ms. Lynn’s door, but no one answered."

Marlon frowned all of a sudden.

In order to hide the fact that the babies had been sent away, no one was allowed to enter Yvette’s bedroom.

But if someone knocked on the door, Yvette would always answer.

She didn’t even answer the knock, so she was definitely not at home!

Where did she go then?

The more Marlon thought about it, the more flustered he became. After hanging up the phone, he drove straight to the villa.

After she fainted last time, Yvette had left him a spare key just in case.

Malone opened the door, only to find no one inside.

The bed was flat and tidy. It was not messy at all. It seemed that Yvette had never come back.

All of a sudden, his expression changed.

When he went out and saw the servant who had just woken up, he stepped forward and kicked her.

How did the servant dare to sleep before the master returned.

These servants were really incompetent.

In fact, it was because Stephen Parker didn’t come for a few days to avoid gossip that the servants thought Ms. Lynn had fallen out of favor.

Even though she gave birth, she still failed to keep Mr. Parker’s heart.

The servants didn’t care about Yvette at all. They were lazy in their work and fooled her as much as they could. They didn’t take Yvette seriously at all.

However, Yvette did not like to make trouble, and she had little contact with the servants, so she did not care about it.

When the servants saw that Yvette was soft-hearted, they became even more presumptuous.

Even if she hadn’t come back for three days, these servants probably wouldn’t have found out, let alone just one night.

Looking at the servants who were so aggrieved that they couldn’t even kneel properly, Marlon immediately understood what they were thinking.

They looked down on Yvette and felt that she was not favored.

Marlon was furious. He waved his hand and ordered his bodyguards, "Tie all these people outside and let them kneel down. Don’t let them sleep."

On hearing this, the servants began to scream.

"Mr. Lynn, you can’t punish us. Ms. Lynn is an adult. We can’t follow her all the time!"

The servant who was kicked was the first to shout back. She raised her head and shouted.

"I can’t?"

Marlon looked up coldly, "You think no one can order you except Stephen, don’t you?"

The servant thought so, but she didn’t dare to say it out. She just straightened her back and said, "Only Mr. Parker can punish us."

"Well, you think I can’t do anything to you, right?"

Marlon made a call and pressed the hands-free button in front of them. Stephen flew into a rage when he heard this.

He immediately ordered to drive out these ungrateful servants, take off their coats, and let them feel the cold weather.

When the servants heard Stephen’s voice, they were all stunned.

Didn’t Mr. Parker dislike Ms. Lynn? How could he punish them so severely?

Were they wrong?

Marlon didn’t have time deal with those servants. He quickly gathered everyone in the villa to look for clues.

However, no one knew where Yvette was.

He was so angry that he smashed a big vase on the spot.

All the servants in the villa should have served Yvette, but they didn’t know where she was.

No one had seen her since this morning.

How careless these people were!

Marlon made them all kneel down outside to wake up. A middle-aged man raised his hand trembling and said that he had something to say.

Marlon said to him, "Tell me then."

The man said, "I am the driver of the evening shift. The driver of the day shift is not here."

This news was indeed very useful. Marlon pardoned the old man’s punishment.

He began to look for the day-shift driver then. He contacted the local law enforcement team and searched for Yvette everywhere.

After searching for dozens of minutes, he found that the day-shift driver was in his home.

Marlon rushed over. The day-shift driver said in a trembling voice that after he sent Yvette to the Assembly Hall, he waited for about half an hour and suddenly had something urgent at home.

He drove back first, thinking that he would go over after Ms. Lynn called him.

But finally, Ms. Lynn didn’t call him again until the shift was changed. He was happy to see this and got off work.

He thought that the night-shift driver would take over this.

Marlon was so angry that he almost killed that drive. They were really derelict in their duty.

If everyone here had worked diligently, Yvette would not have been missing.

He quickly called Lance to ask about if he knew something.

It was already three o’clock in the morning.

Hearing this, Lance sat up all of a sudden. He hadn’t fallen asleep yet.

He told Marlon that Yvette had been to his place today, but she left later.

Hearing this, Marlon hung up the phone and went to the law enforcement department to investigate the surveillance footage.

Lance sat by the bed and thought for a long time, but he was still worried.

He got up, put on his coat, and went out in a wheelchair.

Although he felt sorry for the driver, he still asked the driver to send him to the Assembly Hall, where he thought she might be.

After cutting the power and closing the doors, there was a security system in the Assembly Hall that needed to be unlocked by a superior official to restore power.

Lance contacted the superior official on duty then.

But no one answered for a long time. He asked Frankie to find his address and came to him directly.

He asked the security guard to open the inner door with a key, and climbed up the stairs in the dark with a flashlight.

He had to hold the handrail with one hand and the crutch with the other.

So he could only hold the flashlight with his mouth and climb up step by step up. Later, he could barely hold the flashlight in his mouth, so he put it in his coat pocket and walked forward in the dark.

Fortunately, his office was on the 8th floor, not the 18th floor.

He climbed up for 20 minutes and finally reached the 8th floor.

Although he was fatigued, he dragged his heavy legs and walked toward the office. When he arrived at the office, he knocked on the door.

Without electricity, he could not open the office door.

The door needed a password. Without electricity, this can’t be done.

Moreover, there was no crack between a door and its frame, so he could not see what was going on inside. The window was also on the other side of the wall, so he can’t break in through the window.

He could only knock on the door and call out Yvette’s name.

He called her again and again, but in his heart, he didn’t want her to be inside.

Late at night on the Iceland, the temperature outside was as low as -40℉, and even the temperature inside was -22℉.

There was nothing in the office to prevent coldness. If she fainted inside, it would be very terrible.

Therefore, no one answering was probably the best case.

Lance knocked on the door for a while, but no one answered, and he let out a sigh of relief.

Just as he was about to take a rest, he heard a light knock on the door.

It sounded like a butterfly flapping its wings.

There was no one in the corridor outside the office at night, so Lance could hear the sound.

On hearing this, he felt that his heart had been fiercely torn apart.

Yvette... is really inside.

Without waiting for the call, Lance slammed the door with his crutch.

But all the doors of the Assembly Hall were very hard, and it was impossible to break them open easily.

He shouted as he smashed, "Yvette, Yvette, don’t fall asleep. Hold on, just hold on!"

It was silent inside, and he heard no sound.

Only the sound of Lance’s roar and his intense movements could be heard in the entire building.

The knocking sound just now seemed to be an illusion.

However, Lance firmly believed that Yvette must be inside.

He smashed the door lock for a while, but he failed to break it except for leaving a few more marks on it.

He can’t wait anymore.

He turned his head and saw that there were fire extinguishers and axes inside the fire protection box.

His eyes darkened as he walked toward the fire protection box.

...

At this time, Yvette was so cold that she could not feel anything.

She was awake for a while, and then she lost consciousness.

She dreamed that the man came to save her, and she also heard the sound of the door being smashed.

Subconsciously, she stretched out her arm to touch the door and knocked for a while.

She wanted the man to know that she had been locked up here.

But she felt so tired that she couldn’t even open her eyes.

At this moment, she couldn’t even feel the coldness anymore. She was so tired.

Finally, her hands hung down weakly. She was really tired...

Just as she was about to lose consciousness, a big hole appeared in the door.

The man quickly destroyed the door, and broke in.

Yvette curled up on the ground, wrapped in the dark blue blanket that the man used to cover his legs with.

"Pa!"

The entire building was powered up in time.

The little girl on the ground had a beautiful face, filled with great paleness and weakness.

Lance felt a sharp pain in his heart.

He knelt down and took her in his arms, and he soon felt as if he was holding a piece of ice.

Yvette was so cold that she couldn’t even bend her legs.

Fortunately, she was still breathing and her brows were still furrowed.

Lance took a deep breath and slowly stood up.

Without the crutch, he could hardly walk.

He struggled to crouch slowly with his uninjured leg, picking up the crutch on the floor and leaning it against the wall for his easy reach.

Then, he slowly stood up. He could not hold her in his arms, he could only carry her on his shoulder with one arm and walk in the direction of the elevator with his crutch in the other hand.

He entered the elevator and pressed the button for the first floor.

As soon as the elevator door opened, he saw that Frankie had been waiting in front of the elevator with the rescue team and stretchers.

The rescue team picked up Yvette. Lance followed them.

Frankie followed behind without saying a word, feeling extremely guilty.

If he hadn’t asked Ms. Thiel over, she wouldn’t have been locked up in the office and suffered for so long.

Fortunately, Mr. Wolseley had found her. If everyone thought that Ms. Thiel would not be in the office and if she was left there overnight, she could have died.

The ambulance arrived at the hospital. Fortunately, the hospital in the Iceland was good at treating cold injuries.

Special instruments helped Yvette warm up quickly, but after her body temperature stabilized, she would not recover so quickly from her cold injury. She was likely to have a fever later.

Marlon also rushed to the hospital and learned about the situation. Although he understood that Lance did not do it on purpose, he was also very unhappy.

Yvette was his sister. If she suffered any harm, he would not be able to respond to their parents’ trust.

He remembered that when Yvette was born, Alena Thiel had held his hand tightly with hers and then said gently, "Marlon, can you help me take care of your sister in the future?"

Marlon looked at the adorable little girl, and became extremely happy.

He nodded hard and said loudly, "I will protect her for the rest of my life."

He always remembered and kept his promise.

For years, he never relaxed or felt happy when Yvette was missing.

It wasn’t until he found Yvette again that he felt relaxed. For the first time since he had lost her, he was able to feel happy.

He looked up deeply at the man, "Lance, I don’t think you can protect her."
