---- Chapter 219 But compared to Ethan and James, Liam didn't appear as often. Wendy had assumed Ethan and James had been by her side the whole time, so not seeing either of them now left her feeling a little disappointed. Liam caught the flicker of emotion in her eyes, and his lashes lowered slightly. He knew that there was a trace of disappointment at seeing him behind Wendy's surprised look. He knew that she was hoping to see James.

His fingers tightened slightly around the cotton swab, a sudden wave of bitterness rising in his chest. In Wendy's eyes, he still wasn't as important as James. 1 Wendy had no idea what he was thinking. He suddenly seemed distracted, and the cotton swab was nearly poking her dimple. "Liam, what are you thinking about?" Her voice was hoarse and soft, but it pulled Liam out of his thoughts. He looked up, feeling a little embarrassed. "I'm sorry." Wendy smiled. "Thank you.

If I'd woken up alone in here, I think I would've been really scared." Her mind felt foggy, but she was sure something terrible had happened to leave her in this state. Liam looked at her faint smile, his heart aching a little. "I know bringing this up might make things harder, but you need to try to remember everything from before you passed ---- out." Wendy replied , her brows knitting slightly as if something had surfaced in her mind. "I know. I had a really long dream.

Init, I kept on running. Someone was chasing me, but I can't remember what kind of dream it was exactly." Liam set the glass down and gently took her slightly cold hand in his. "It's okay. I'll help you remember together. There's no rush." Wendy's hand tensed, and she looked at Liam with fear and alarm. "Did they... get caught? Did they escape?" She remembered. That hadn't been a dream. It had really happened. Wendy remembered Liam being the last person she saw before losing consciousness.

She sat up abruptly, her body starting to tremble uncontrollably. "Tremember now, Liam. I remember everything." Her voice wavered, edged with panic and tears, exposing just how fragile she truly felt in that moment. Liam pulled her gently into his arms, his voice soft and soothing. '"The police have arrested them. No one is going to hurt you again. I promise, Wendy. I won't let anyone hurt you ever again." Wendy clung tightly to his hand and began to sob.

She truly wished that everything that had happened was just a nightmare. ---- Her trembling slowly eased in Liam's embrace , but she still refused to let go of his hand. Sensing her fear, Liam brought his other hand up to gently pat her back in a steady rhythm. "The police will find out who was behind it all. The ones who hurt you will be punished , and you'll get justice ."" His voice carried a calm and steady quality. Wendy's grip slowly loosened. "But...

what if they don't find the person behind it? What if they're released, and they..." She couldn't finish the sentence. Liam shook his head, gently rubbing her back. "They won't. The two of them were already fugitives before this. They were wanted men. Even if the police don't find their employer right away, they're not getting out of prison." Wendy felt more relieved. "Is there something I can do? From what I can recall, the one who hired them showed up right before they hurt me.

Should I tell the police everything I remember?" She pulled back slightly, looking up at him earnestly. "You don't have to worry about that now. Just focus on resting. When your body's stronger and your memory is clearer, the police will come here to take your statement." Ashe spoke, he reached up and tucked a stray lock of hair behind her ear.
