Chapter 93: The Perfect Trap
While Samson and Lucasta were falling asleep in the middle of the night in France, Harvey had to wake up to go to work.
It’s been a long time since he’s seen Aurora, so he misses her very much.
He wanted to go to her house but there was no reason to go. Furthermore, he had to be wary of the hunters. Who knows when those guys will show up?
– Shouldn’t I tell her to come here? Is that okay? Tell her you should come to my house so I can look at you a bit so I miss you less. What if she confesses her love again?
He mumbled to himself at the reflection in the mirror, then bent down and rinsed his face with cold water.
Seeing Lucasta and Samson become a couple, he suddenly wanted to risk everything to be with Aurora, but his heart was still inferior to his reason.
Leaving the luxury apartment building, Harvey drove quickly on the street and turned into a gas station.
While he was waiting for the employee to pump gas into the car and looking around, a light flashed from the base of the streetlight but then went out, attracting his attention.
The moment he drove there, he stopped and observed. The light flashed again and he was extremely surprised when he recognized the rose-shaped earring lying on the side of the road.
This earring is quite old, it is one of the timeless valuable jewelry that Vincent owned and it later belonged to Maris.
– Maris is coming to the city again?
Harvey wondered as he got out of the car, walked over, picked up the earring, and looked around. He didn’t think it fell before she took Samson back to the forest.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
Could it be that she just came here? But if she comes, why not go to him or Aurora? Aurora didn’t say anything to him at all.
Suddenly, he also had an uneasy feeling when he remembered Samson’s call. Could something have happened to Maris?
– Damn it.
He quickly got back into the car and took his phone to call Aurora. And the result he received was that Maris did not come to her house.
Aurora was also extremely surprised and confused when she learned that one of Maris’s earrings had fallen in the city.
– Go to the castle to verify. That’s the only way we can do it. Aurora urged.
– Okay, damn it, I drove at top speed and it took nearly an hour to reach the edge of the forest. Running on two legs during the day is not good at all. If I was negligent, I would be discovered.
After saying that, he also took out his headphones and drove the car to the other lane, aimed towards the forest, and stepped on the accelerator.
The road was still deserted right now, so he took the opportunity to drive quickly. After only about twenty minutes, traffic in the city will be as crowded as ants, and driving will be slower than walking, no joke.
The car sped along the road and after nearly an hour, it stopped in front of an old tree.
Harvey quickly opened the car door and ran straight into the forest, through the smoke and fog created from a tree stump that had been smoldering for a thousand years.
The birds that were gathering together to drink the morning dew quickly dispersed and flew into the air.
– Maris. Harvey called out as soon as he arrived at the castle gate.
The owls quickly flew out, perched everywhere, and looked at him with sharp eyes.
Harvey called out again then jumped over the high gate and into the yard, then into the castle.
There was no sign of an empty castle because every corner was clean, which made him secretly happy because he thought Maris was probably sleeping in the basement, in Vincent’s ancient coffin.
But when he walked down the stairs, he realized she was not there.
After running through the forest and not being able to find her, Harvey realized the sun had risen.
How does he return to the city now? His expensive car cannot protect him from this scorching sun.
Just now, hearing Aurora’s instigation, he drove away without thinking that the sun would rise. Now it’s good, he has to hide in the forest until the sun goes down.
He tried to hide in the shadows, avoiding the sunlight shining through the leaves to run back to the castle.
– Aurora, you have harmed me. Harvey sighed, threw the phone aside, and lay on the couch.
The phone he brought into this forest did not have a single signal and could not make calls or text messages. So, he had to lie here and wait.
He didn’t know that Aurora was almost panicking when she couldn’t contact him. From home to the medical science institute, she continuously called his phone number.
– It’s probably okay. He’ll be okay. Who can harm him? Hunters are not active during the day.
After reassuring herself, Aurora got out of the car and entered the workplace. But while leaving the parking lot, she accidentally saw Dr. Henry’s suspicious appearance.
He was standing behind a large pillar and talking to someone on the phone.
Aurora was worried about Harvey and Maris, so she didn’t hesitate and quickly walked over to Henry to listen for information.
– Just do as I say. Tie her up and take her to the western forest. Just throw garlic water on her and she will lose her resistance. I will give money as soon as I receive the goods. Remember to be on time. At exactly nine o’clock in the evening. Henry’s voice rang out softly, clearly showing his seriousness.
Aurora’s eyes widened and her arms and legs trembled. She couldn’t move but could only stay close to the large pillar and pray that Henry wouldn’t discover her.
It turns out that the feeling of insecurity that Samson mentioned was because Maris was in trouble.
Just as Aurora wanted, Henry hurriedly left immediately afterward.
Waiting until the sound of his footsteps faded away, she dared to step out, get back in the car, and take the phone to call Harvey.
She could only rely on Harvey, Samson wasn’t here and he was on an important mission, and she didn’t want to distract him.
– Harvey, where are you? Please have a signal.
Her sweat drenched her hands. From now until the evening, if she cannot contact him, Maris may lose her life.
Thinking about it for a while, she scolded herself for being stupid and called Bonita to ask about Harvey’s whereabouts.
However, the results she received from his assistant were that he did not come to the office, his phone had no signal and, importantly, Bonita went to his apartment but did not see him anywhere.
– Nothing will happen to him, right? Bonita asked worriedly.
Bonita originally thought that Harvey must have gone somewhere and his phone was out of battery, but now when she heard Aurora calling, she felt extremely uneasy.
– Ah, I remember, he went to the haunted forest, I will go find him, don’t worry.
Aurora quickly hung up the phone and left the medical science institute. She knew what was more important at the moment.
There are only a few days left until the labor contract between her and this agency ends and she has absolutely no intention of continuing to work here.
The leaders were traffickers and profiteers on human lives, which made her dissatisfied and she needed time to consider what she should do.
After an hour passed, Aurora reached the edge of the forest and she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Harvey’s shiny car. However, he was not in the car.
Even though she wanted to, she didn’t dare go into this forest alone. She is not afraid of the ghost in everyone’s rumors, but she is afraid of wolves, tigers, and other wild animals.
So, she chose to sit quietly in the car and wait for him to come back.
Time passed slowly and Aurora gradually lost patience. Where the hell did this vampire go?
If he went in there and didn’t see Maris, he should have come back out. Could it be that he wants to leave the city and live in the forest?
Just as Aurora was about to venture into the forest to find him, she was suddenly startled when she saw a large tiger appearing. It walked slowly and was looking towards her.
– Oh, tiger… it’s a tiger… mother… – Aurora was frightened and stuttered.
Her face was pale and she was sweating profusely. She couldn’t even control the car to drive away.
The tiger came closer and closer. After looking at Harvey’s car, it immediately approached the car with the girl shivering inside.
Aurora was terrified, put her head on the steering wheel, and burst into tears. She wondered if today was the end of her world.
She doesn’t want to die yet. Samson is not yet a human, Maris is in danger and she has not seen Harvey one last time.
– Harvey, Harvey, please… please come here, please…
The car was hit by a strong force, making Aurora cry even louder. Her hands tightened on the steering wheel as if it were protecting her life. She didn’t want to die like this, it wasn’t heroic at all.
As time went on, the car shook harder and harder, causing her to open her eyes wide and she almost froze when she realized that the person shaking her car was Harvey, not the tiger.
It took a few seconds for her to regain composure and open the car door.
– Tiger…
– I threw it into the forest over there.
Looking at Aurora’s tear-stained face, Harvey felt both pitiful and funny.
Just now, as soon as he came out of the forest, he saw the tiger jumping on her car, so he conveniently picked it up and sent it to its new home.
– If you can’t find Maris, you should go back. Why are you still here? Aurora asked angrily.
– I also want to go back to the company and handle the mountain of documents waiting for me, but the sun is shining. Do I have any other way? Do you want me to turn into a roasted vampire?
Aurora bowed her head and did not reply. She had forgotten that he couldn’t drive in the sun. The car windshield still couldn’t shield him from the sun.
While she was confused, a beautiful hand reached out, pulled her out and in just a moment, she was wrapped in Harvey’s strong arms.
– It’s fine. It’s okay. As soon as the sun went out, I immediately went out here.
Suddenly remembering something important, Aurora quickly pushed Harvey away before he could stroke her hair. This rejection made him feel disappointed and hurt.
– Maris has been arrested. I eavesdropped on a conversation between Dr. Henry and someone. I heard him talking about a transaction involving a woman and telling that person to repeatedly throw garlic juice at her.
Harvey’s hand clenched tightly, blue veins appearing. He could accept Samson leaving the forest because Samson had important things to do, but Maris had nothing to do to go to the city.
– Place and time.
– Nine o’clock at night, western forest.
Harvey nodded and quickly got in the car, Aurora also quickly returned to the driver’s seat.
Although Harvey wanted to drive fast, because he was with Aurora, he only drove at an average speed and followed her car.
She would never know how much he was afraid when he saw the tiger next to the car. It obscured his vision so he was worried that she had been swallowed by it.
