Chapter 87

Hector suddenly seemed to think of something. "By the way, your phone kept ringing just now. I answered it for you."

Cynthia grabbed her phone and checked it. It was Jonathan's call "What did you say to him?"

Hector replied, "I just said I am your friend and that you will stay here tonight." Cynthia felt a headache again. "How did he react?"

Hector looked quite innocent. "He hung up the phone"

Cynthia rubbed her temples. She could already imagine Jonathan's jealous look.

However, Cynthia

a knew she was in bad shape right now. Besides, Jonathan only knew she suffered from insomnia but didn't know she had so many problems, let alone her past experiences. She didn't want him to know about these, either. Cynthia's temples still hurt badly. She didn't have the energy to explain anything. More importantly, there was one thing she hadn't solved yet.

It wasn't the first time Cynthia had stayed here. She had lived here for a period when she had been ill before. Therefore, she was very familiar with everything here.

Hector's house was a large condominium unit in an upscale residential area, and it was on the top floor. The living room had. a floor-to-ceiling window, which was extremely wide and had an excellent view.

Cynthia stood barefoot in front of the window and stared at the bustling traffic outside. On the elevated road, there was ant endless stream of traffic, manifesting the pulse of the city

Cynthia stayed in the condominium until noon. She left only after Simon called and said everything had been arranged.

Before leaving,

Cynthia called Lilian. Her tone was calm without any emotion. "Lilian, let's meet."

After two seconds of of silence,

Lilian agreed, "Okay. I also have something to tell you."

"Remember our secret base? I'll wait for you at the usual spot. Cynthia hung up the phone.

Then, Cynthia drove to Mount Quadfield, a luxury residential area. Each mansion had its own courtyard, surrounded by tall trees, providing excellent privacy. Pamela had given Cynthia a mansion in Mount Quadfield as a birthday gift on Cynthia's 15th birthday.

Cynthia loved the surroundings. In high school, she had transformed it into a secret base of her own. At that time, she, Liljan, Naomi, and Filip used to hang out here.

Only t

the four of them had ever been to this place. All four's faceprints were stored in the facial recognition system, and any one of them could open the door. Chapter 87

Cynthia arrived early. When she went in, she found that the yard was full of weeds and bushes. She hadn't set foot here in more than three years. But ainid the mess and desolation, she could still vaguely see the scenery from three years ago. There was a huge cherry tree in the yard. Under the cherry tree was a swing chair. The swing chair had long been worn and faded under the wind and rain, and a thick layer of dust was on

Cynthia suddenly remembered the scene where she and Lilian od nestled in the swing chair, looking at the stars.

Lilian had always liked to lean on Cynthia's shoulder. "Cynthia, you are like a star in the sky while I am like a worm on the earth. Thank you for being friends with someone like me."

Then, she went to the attic on the mansion's top floor. This was a monitoring room. There were surveillance cameras outside the mansion, in the yard, and in every room and corridor. Cynthia turned on the surveillance device. All the monitoring screens lit up in an instant. She sat on the chair and waited. leisurely.

A black Mercedes-Benz appeared on the surveillance cameras. Cynthia recognized this Mercedes-Benz. It belonged to Filip, and Lilian had been driving it for the past month.

The car pulled into the mansion's n's yard. As expected, Lilian got out of the car. As usual, she wore a white dress, looking simple and elegant, like a little white flower in the sunshine that would bend when the wind blew. Lilian looked at the messy yard and seemed to remember something, too. She stood in the yard for a long time before entering the house.

Soon, Lilian stood outside the monitoring room without a door. She was surprised. Along the way, she had noticed the doors to all the rooms seemed to have been removed. However, he didn't think about it further. Cynthia sat on a chair in the monitoring room. Today, she was wearing a black dress, a black butterfly hairpin, and black shoes. She was in black from head to toe, looking a bit ghostly.

Despite that, Cynthia smiled brightly, "Lilian, you're here."

Lilian walked in slowly with a pitiful look on her face. She spoke in a pleading tone. "Cynthia, can you help me?"

Cynthia laughed, but she still asked, "What do you want me to help you with?"

Lilian replied, "Filip doesn't want the baby in my belly, but I can't lose it. Please help me persuade him. He only listens to you now. Cynthia, let go of my child, okay?"

Cynthia smiled sarcastically "Let go of your child? Don't pin the blame on me. What does it have to do with me that Filip doesn't want the baby? You're making it sound as if I instigated him. Lilian, you are really good at guilt-tripping" "I didn't mean that. It's just that Filip feels sorry for you. That's why he is so cruel to me. As long as you forgive me, he will be able to let go." Lilian was getting close to Cynthia.
