Pierre came back only at noon the next day. When he came back, his expression was angry and lost, even a little depressed. There was no need for Selena to ask about it; she knew that the culprit must have escaped.
"Why not have something to eat? You’ve been tired all night." Selena did not pursue the topic. She knew that Linda was personally trained by Hades, so she was brilliant. In fact, she estimated that Linda had prepared an escape route long ago, so it was not so easy to catch her.
“There is a basement in that factory, and the basement passage extends all the way to a faraway place, from where she escaped,” Pierre said with unhappiness.
"Okay, you’ve been busy all night. You should first eat something, then sleep for a while."
Pierre felt exasperation in his heart, so how could he eat and sleep?
"This woman actually fooled me, you know? The call from the base was actually her trick. She hired a hacker to hack into the military system, then faked a call to me from the number there!" Selena did not expect that Linda would be so capable. So, she already knew Pierre’s identity!
Anyway, Linda had planted herself beside Selena originally to obtain information about Pierre, so Linda must know more about Pierre than Selena did.
"D*mn it!" Pierre cursed. He was about to reach the base when he realized that this might be a distraction. The more he thought about it on his way to the base, the more he felt that it was wrong because every time there had been a code word from the base when they called, but this time there was none. As he noticed that the number was indeed the base's number, he did not think so much at first. Later, he called the base directly and confirmed that the base did not contact him.
"Why does she want to kill you?" Pierre finally asked the main question.
However, Selena shook her head. "I don’t know. At first, she fell in love with Hades, so she desperately tried to set us up together. Hades got angry as he hated the betrayal of others, and I thought he would kill her. But I did not expect that he would spare her life."
Selena sighed. "But I don't think these are the reasons why she wants to kill me. Actually, she should not hate me so much."
"I will definitely catch her!" Pierre said viciously.
Now that he knew who this person was, it would be an easy thing to do. After that, Pierre looked at Selena's haggard face and finally collected his angry emotions. "You haven't slept all night, right? Let's have something to eat together and go to bed?"
Selena nodded at Pierre, and the two of them ate some food together. Both of them did not have a good appetite, but in front of each other, they still held back all their emotions and ate a little, then went back to the bedroom. Then, Pierre deliberately drew the blackout curtains so that the room was darkened, which helped them to sleep better. As the two lay on the bed, they each were with their own thoughts. Next, Pierre turned around and saw her staring at him. Suddenly, she burrowed into Pierre's arms. "Pierre, I'm so scared."
This was the first time she admitted that she was afraid. When she was looking at the dagger, the thought of suicide did flash through her mind, and she was willing to die as long as the other party was willing to let Juniper go. But at that time, she thought a lot more. If she died, what about Pierre? What about the children?
"Don’t be afraid. I am here." Pierre hugged Selena very tightly; he knew that she was traumatized. When he said this, he was also wondering to himself that every time he said so, he was never there. In fact, when his woman needed him the most, he was not there!
Tears rained down from Selena's eyes. "If that bomb was real, then we would really be finished."
