Find Me In Your Labyrinth novel Chapter 2042

Gab asked, "You mean Mr. Brennan hurt Estelle? I think there might be some kind of mix-up. Yesterday, Lambert brought his own security guards to stand with us against Triceratops' crew, and he even brought Estelle here for surgery. He wouldn't hurt Estelle!"

Lambert kept his head down, silent and offering no defense for himself.

"Exactly, Jonah!" Josiah chimed in, in an attempt to calm the waters. "Thank goodness for the doc's timely rescue, or Estelle would've been in a real bad way. Maybe it's all a misunderstanding. Let's just wait for Estelle to come around before jumping to conclusions."

Evelyn hurried over too, throwing in her two cents in Lambert's defense. "Are you talking about when Estelle was taken by Raiden? I didn't understand why she was caught at the time, but it was Mr. Brennan who saved Estelle. I saw it with my own eyes. Even if Mr. Brennan has messed up, please, for Estelle's sake, for the fact that he saved her, don't kill him!"

Evelyn knew Estelle and Lambert first; in her mind, the three of them were closer.

During her time in Zion, it was Estelle and Lambert who were there for her, who had helped her, and it was Lambert who had brought her out of that mess yesterday.

So, her instinct was to defend Lambert.

Jonathan didn't want to hash it out further; he was more worried about Estelle, who was lying inside the room. His gaze was icy as he stared at Lambert and said, "I won't kill you now. Once Ella wakes up, we'll settle scores nice and slow."

Lambert's brown eyes were swollen blue, yet he nodded firmly. "Fine by me. Whatever she wants to settle with me, I won't run."

He had almost killed Stella, the woman he had cherished in his heart for so many years. He couldn't even forgive himself!

Jonathan lowered his gun and strode briskly toward the room.

Estelle was furrowing her brow in her sleep. Jonathan had thought it was the pain from her wounds, but now he understood that wasn't it!

He also realized why she always took off the necklace he'd given her while she slept. She didn't want him to see what was wrong with her!

That Christmas Eve night, when he went to her room and found her caught in a nightmare, he had thought it was just a bad dream in an unfamiliar place without a sense of security. It never crossed his mind that she had been drugged and was nearly turned into a walking corpse!

A shiver of fear ran through Jonathan, his anger clogging his throat. He wished he could shoot Lambert dead, then personally blow Zion to smithereens.

Taking a deep breath, he reached the bedside and gently touched Estelle's forehead, his voice a suppressed whisper, "Ella!"
