Forced to Marry the Sickly Billionaire-Chapter 298: I Knew You Would Definitely Come Back

Adrian Holt carried Serena Summers to a nearby hotel, booked a presidential suite, and placed her on the soft, large bed.

The girl’s eyes were tightly closed; her delicate, lightly made-up face was flushed with the redness of intoxication, adding a seductive charm to her beauty.

Adrian Holt leaned over, staring blankly at the sleeping person, suddenly losing himself for a moment.

Just then, his cellphone rang.

Adrian Holt snapped back to reality, stood up, and walked to the balcony to answer the call.

Seeing the name displayed on the phone screen, he glanced at the woman asleep on the bed, and slowly closed the sliding glass door.

"Hello? What’s the matter?"

His voice was cool, his deep-set eyes calm and undisturbed.

The person on the other end asked, "How’s it going on your end? Have you seen Serena Summers?"

Adrian Holt turned to look towards the room, pursing his lips, "No."

"What’s the matter? Isn’t it going smoothly? Didn’t I have someone send you Serena Summers’ information before?" Professor Parker frowned, asking perplexedly.

Adrian Holt said indifferently, "You’d better spend more time on your research than worry about this. I’m hanging up if there’s nothing else."

After speaking, he hung up the phone without hesitation.

Professor Parker, hearing the busy tone from the phone, a flicker of displeasure crossed the depths of his eyes.

Two years ago, at the seaside, the bomb he revealed seemed powerful but was actually just a bluff.

At that time, Lucas Shaw snatched the bomb from his hands at lightning speed and threw it into the sea.

He thought he would die, but Lord Yama was not interested in his miserable life.

He and Lucas Shaw were washed up by the waves into a clump of grass on a shore, fortunately surviving.

He woke up before Lucas Shaw, so he dragged him into a very hidden, abandoned warehouse.

Then, he contacted Peter to jam the surveillance footage of that time, thus managing to avoid disaster.

When people from the organization came to pick him up, he brought Lucas Shaw along as well.

As for why Lucas Shaw suffered from amnesia... naturally, it was because he had Nathaniel Hamilton hypnotize him, making him forget his past memories and altering them.

This required a very high-level psychologist to do because there would be significant risks otherwise.

Fortunately, Nathaniel Hamilton has always concealed his true abilities; he is actually an internationally top-ranked hypnotherapist.

Seventeen years ago, to prevent those children from remembering the faces of the staff in their lab, Nathaniel Hamilton had hypnotized them once.

Furthermore... it was Nathaniel Hamilton’s doing that Elena Ryan became mentally unstable.

Nathaniel Hamilton chose to target Elena Ryan for a few reasons. Firstly, because they accidentally discovered that Lucas Shaw’s physique was very suitable for injecting their drugs, making him a perfect subject for their experiments.

Secondly, Elena Ryan was already traumatized by emotional issues, making her more susceptible to hypnosis.

This time, the hypnosis was very successful; Lucas Shaw woke up with no memory of his past events.

They gave him a new name—Adrian Holt—and arranged a new identity for him.

Initially, all this was done so that Lucas Shaw could be of use to them, to be their mobile blood bank.

And to leverage him as a threat against Serena Summers and the Shaw Family.

But two years have passed, and their experiments have made no progress.

Serena Summers was right; without her, the experiments would never succeed.

They had no choice but to find a way to get close to Serena Summers again.

And of course, the best choice was still Lucas Shaw.

In front of Lucas Shaw, Serena Summers would surely let down her guard.

As long as he could win over Serena Summers’ heart as before, he could make her join the organization willingly and devote herself to their research.

Professor Parker thought everything would go smoothly, but Adrian Holt refused to reveal anything to him.

He sighed deeply, carefully pondering his next move.

City S.

Adrian Holt casually threw his mobile phone onto a nearby table and sat back down by the bedside.

His orders were to get close to Serena Summers, capture her heart, and bring her back to the organization.

After learning that Serena Summers frequented the bar every night, Adrian Holt originally planned to play the hero saving the beauty, naturally developing a relationship with her.

However, things had already gone beyond his expectations.

Who would have thought... that Serena Summers would not follow the script, turning all his plans upside down with a single word: "Husband."

He pinched the bridge of his nose again, unable to help but sigh inwardly.

"Husband, don’t go..."

At this moment, Serena Summers, who had been sound asleep on the bed, suddenly turned over and curled up.

Her grip on the corner of his clothes tightened, and when he instinctively looked up, he saw the frown deeply etched on Serena Summers’ forehead.

She seemed to be having a bad dream, muttering Lucas Shaw’s name incessantly.

Adrian Holt suddenly grew curious about the husband Serena Summers mentioned.

Before he could investigate, Serena Summers came closer, curling up like an abandoned little creature, seeking warmth.

A sudden sting pierced through Adrian Holt’s chest.

He didn’t know why he felt this way, and quickly suppressed the emotion.

...

When Serena Summers woke up the next day, her head felt dizzy and heavy. She rubbed her sore forehead and slowly opened her eyes.

However, the next second, she froze.

Lying beside her was a large, tall man.

The man’s features were handsome and deep, as if favored by the Creator, with delicate and smooth lines, three-dimensional features, and distinct angles. This face was exactly the same as the one deeply imprinted in her heart.

She blinked, thinking she had seen wrong.

Could it be that what she saw last night was not a dream, but reality?

She stared blankly at the person sleeping, and suddenly felt a sourness on the tip of her nose.

Tears started to fall again, pitter-patter.

Sensing the burning gaze upon him, Adrian Holt slowly opened his eyes.

Looking at the unfamiliar room, he was stunned for half a second, then remembered the events of last night.

He turned his head subconsciously and just happened to meet a pair of misty, teary eyes.

Adrian Holt abruptly sat up on the bed, looking at her helplessly, "You, why are you crying again?"

"I didn’t do anything to you. Everything last night was an accident. I was worried for your safety as a girl alone in a bar and that’s why..."

He was cut off mid-sentence as Serena Summers suddenly plunged into his arms.

"I knew you couldn’t bear to leave me, that you would come back for sure..."

Adrian Holt felt the softness in his arms and his body instinctively stiffened. His hands hovered in mid-air, unsure where to place them. freewebnøvel.coɱ

The vein on his temple throbbed as he scolded in a low voice, "Let go!"

"I won’t!" Serena Summers tightly embraced the man’s sturdy waist, refusing to let go no matter what.

No one knew how long she had waited for this moment.

But fortunately, it was all worth it, she had finally waited until it came.
