Chapter 62: Savage Conspiracy
With extremely fast speed, and the guards deliberately relaxed their guard, Samson easily approached Lucasta’s bedroom after mistakenly visiting a few empty rooms.
As soon as he climbed in from the window, he saw his little blonde girl curled up in a fluffy blanket.
The deep love and nostalgia overflowed so much that he couldn’t control himself and rushed to her side.
But when his hand was about to touch her shoulder, he stopped.
Lucasta’s steady breathing showed that she was sleeping. However, occasionally she still called out for help, her hands unconsciously clutching the blanket, sweat pouring out all over her body.
– Did you have a nightmare? Don’t be scared, I’m here.
Samson quickly grabbed her hand and as a subconscious habit, Lucasta grabbed his hand, held it close to her face, and continued to sleep.
Samson wished he could hug her and run back to the forest right now.
He was afraid that if he did that, once she woke up, she would panic and most likely do crazy things that would harm her.
When Lucasta woke up, it was six o’clock in the morning. The faint, pale rays of sunlight filtering through the glass window helped her clearly see the streak of water stretching from the window sill to her bed, and even the blanket she was covering was a little wet.
She remembered last night, after watching the rain and going to bed, she did not lock the window from the inside.
– Is it him? – Her hand trembled as she touched her cheek and wondered.
Last night, she dreamed that nightmare again and then in the most desperate moment, Samson appeared, took her hand, and hugged her to comfort her. His hand was really warm at that time, not cold at all.
When Lucasta arrived at the dining room, only her food was on the table, her uncle’s food was not there.
– Does my uncle not eat breakfast? She looked at the housekeeper and asked.
– He had an important meeting so he left home early, then he will go on a business trip for three days. Because he was afraid of waking you up, he sent his goodbyes through me.
For some reason, when hearing the butler say that, Lucasta’s heart felt lighter. She nodded then bent down, attentively eating the hotdog and drinking the milk.
The lingering scent of the uninvited guest revealed his identity. She knew it was Samson. She knew he could have easily taken her away in the night but he didn’t.
What exactly does he want? Could it be that aristocratic vampires only take someone away when they have their permission, willingly following them?
During that day, except for meals, Lucasta stayed in her room. And when darkness fell, she crawled back under the blanket but tried not to let herself fall asleep.
The window was only ajar, not locked because she wanted to confirm again.
It wasn’t until the clock hands stopped at ten that the sound of soft footsteps rang out.
Lucasta nervously closed her eyes, her breathing became heavy, and her chest was tight, extremely uncomfortable.
Seeing the little hand tightening the blanket, Samson thought Lucasta was having a nightmare so he quickly held her hand.
Today, he deliberately came earlier, hoping she would still be awake, but in the end, she fell into a dream and he couldn’t bear to wake her up.
Perhaps temporarily she will be safe, but not in the near future.
– Don’t be scared, Lucasta, I’ll protect you. He gently patted her shoulder and whispered.
Lucasta’s tears suddenly overflowed and soaked into the pillow. Why isn’t he her brother? Why is he a vampire who drinks human blood to stay alive?
All night long, Samson did not leave Lucasta’s room and it was not until the darkness gradually faded that he returned to Harvey’s apartment.
As soon as he climbed in through the window, he saw a guy with platinum hair standing with his arms crossed waiting in the room.
– Where did you go? Don’t tell me you went to William’s house.
Samson could only nod in response to Harvey’s question. He didn’t want to lie and he knew he couldn’t lie to Harvey because this pureblood vampire was very delicate and intelligent.
– That place is loosely guarded so it should be okay. Humans are not my opponents. I’ll go there early tomorrow, while Lucasta is still awake.
– Samson, that’s Thomas, he once imprisoned Maris and cooperated with a group of vampire hunters to kill Vincent.
– I know, so I’ll be careful.
– Okay, I’m not your parents, I can’t control you.
Harvey’s tone showed that he was very angry. Although Harvey didn’t speak loudly or scream, Samson could still tell that he was very angry.
Each person will have their own ideal to live and die for. And for Samson, Lucasta’s life and happiness were now his ideals.
Another slow day passed and just as the clock struck eight in the evening, Samson appeared in Lucasta’s bedroom.
He was a little surprised when he saw her calmly sitting on the bed and looking at him as if she had been waiting for him for a long time.
– Lucasta.
– Don’t move forward anymore. She spoke up to stop his footsteps.
– Lucasta, we’ve been together for ten years and you understand clearly that I would never harm you. Samson spoke softly.
– Then stop clinging to me. Please, Samson, I want to live happily and without fear, and you are the biggest obsession of my life, even more than that bloody dream. Haven’t you promised to let me go? How dare you go back on your word? Liar. She tried to stay calm and say each sentence and each word clearly.
– I was planning to return to the castle but I found out that William was the one who wanted to kill you. Lucasta, I don’t know what his purpose was in bringing you back, but at first, he really wanted to kill you.
– Where’s the proof?
– What?
Samson almost froze and he realized that even ten years of living together could not make Lucasta trust him even a little bit.
Just because she discovered his true identity, she doesn’t even have a little trust in him?
The hurt made him unable to open his mouth to say another word and when he heard her threaten to ring the bell to call the bodyguard, he immediately rushed out and disappeared into the night.
Perhaps now that girl is in some distant country, there is no more evidence.
In the days that followed, Lucasta kept the windows open and stayed up late, but Samson didn’t stop by anymore.
Although she felt reassured because she thought he had left her life, she still felt lost.
– Today’s milk tastes strange. Lucasta exclaimed when she took her first sip of milk.
– I told the chef to add some nutritious grains in there. Lately, you don’t look very healthy, you need to supplement your body with more nutrients. William said while chewing.
– I feel my body is normal.
– No, I see you are thinner. You have to be very healthy because you have to be responsible for the assets your parents left behind, the staff, understand?
– Yes. – Lucasta obediently picked up the glass of milk and drank it.
Perhaps because Samson wanted her to go with him, he deliberately defamed her uncle. He has no proof.
If William wanted to kill her, would she still be sitting here? He even prepared everything from her health to her spirit to return the inheritance rights to her.
As far as she knew, the fortune her parents left behind was extremely large and William was ruled by the court to be responsible for managing it until she was found.
He has done this task very well over the years and has not touched the profits from the operations of her father’s private hospitals as well as her mother’s fashion stores and beauty care centers.
– Why am I suddenly so sleepy? Lucasta yawned after finishing the cake.
– Have you had insomnia these past few days? William stared at her and asked.
– No.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
– Alright, you should go back to your room and get some sleep. This afternoon we have an interview appointment with a TV station about a charity project.
Everything in front of Lucasta’s eyes faded and then she collapsed onto the dining table.
Immediately, the bodyguard approached and carried her upstairs.
William didn’t eat anymore. He slowly wiped his mouth and left the chair to go to the Institute of Medical Sciences.
Since the day Henry gave the dried blood sample to Aurora, she and the research team from the Institute of Medical Sciences have been able to concentrate fresh blood.
However, when they diluted dried blood to transfuse into humans, it was not possible.
– Hello, sir – Aurora bowed politely as soon as she entered William’s office.
– Hello. I thought a lot before making the decision. We have spent too much money on this unpromising project. So… stop it.
– Yes. I’m so sorry.
– No. It’s not your fault, we have tried our best. You can go out now. William said as he picked up the phone.
The moment Aurora touched the door handle, she heard William’s words.
He informed the TV station that this afternoon he was the only one appearing in the interview because Lucasta suddenly had a high fever and was being cared for by doctors at home.
The fact that Samson tried to break into William’s house to persuade Lucasta and was rebuffed by her, Aurora also heard Harvey say.
These past few days, Samson has just hung around the apartment, not going out, and now Lucasta is sick, so Aurora is wondering if she should tell him this news or not.
Until evening, Aurora still couldn’t decide, but at this time, the news about the quick interview was broadcast and Samson also heard the news that Lucasta suddenly had a high fever through William’s words.
Although he really wanted to visit her right away, because it was only seven o’clock in the evening, he tried to wait.
If she was seriously ill, there would probably be a doctor or servant by her side at this time. Only midnight is the chance for him to sneak into her room without being detected.
– Lucasta, please don’t let anything happen to you, please. – He bit his hand tightly and muttered.
At the same time, the top floors of Star Corporation were still bright with electric light.
At five o’clock this afternoon, the company’s computer system suddenly crashed. Computer engineers and all senior staff were forced to stay for overtime, no one was allowed to leave until the system could be restored.
While Samson hid in the woods and could not keep up with scientific achievements, Harvey was different.
Harvey has learned and understood quite a lot about information technology issues. And now he’s focused on restoring systems and data.
Fortunately, this morning he brought Samson’s leftover bottle of dried blood powder, otherwise his fangs would have grown out.
Today Ricky is sick so Bonita did not come to the company.
