Love Contract novel Chapter 94

With the soft autumn breeze blowing that night, Mary stood by the window. She turned around and commented, "You know, you can jump from here and escape!"

"Do you really think that there aren't going to be any guards downstairs?"

"Oh... I see." Mary smiled awkwardly, "How's your injury? Why didn't anyone come by?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard the sound of the door opening followed by two maids coming in. How timely.

"Sir and madam, dinner is served. Enjoy your meal." The maids had trays in their hands. "We also brought ointment for your bruises."

"Can we go out now?" Mary asked, walking over to them.

"Well..." the maid stammered, "master only ordered us to bring these up. We have to leave right away."

With that, they hurriedly left as if they were afraid that they would get into trouble if they stayed longer.

"He won't let us out that easily." William sighed. "Then what should we do? Did you try calling Frank again?"

"No one answered."

Sensing the awkwardness in the air, Mary curled her lips. She hastily said, "Let me apply the ointment on your bruise first. You just caught a cold. You'll get the strength to walk after you eat, right?"

William didn't say anything.

Mary went to the bathroom to get some warm water for William. She wrung a towel. "Let me wipe your face first."

William slightly lowered his head so that Mary could carefully wipe his face.

The corner of his mouth was bleeding while his forehead was swollen. He looked like an utter mess —a sight Mary had never seen before.

"You're getting more and more skilled at tending to wounds," William blurted out.

"Yes, thanks to you," Mary curtly said. Then she glared at him and added, "Do I have to thank you?"

"You're welcome." William grinned. Suddenly, he noticed Mary's red and swollen eyes. "You cried so hard just now."

"You are making fun of me." Mary threw the towel into the basin and rubbed her eyes. She had to admit that she had indeed cried too hard. Now her eyes were a little too swollen.

William picked up the towel, wrung it, and placed it over Mary's eyes before she could even react.

"We're teammates now." William smiled as he cupped her head with his one hand while he wiped her face with the other. "I'm sorry for getting you into this."

Mary stiffened as she let William take care of her, relishing this rare moment.

"What do you want to do next?" Mary asked as they ate after they were all cleaned up.

"I don't know." William shook his head. For the first time ever, he felt helpless.

In a villa in Tokyo, Japan.

A dozen bodyguards stood in front of Frank's father, Felipe, all holding their breath. They were in the brightly lit living room.

Felipe Liang was fuming as he hurled his tea cup across the room. Bang!

"Losers! A bunch of losers!" He used his crutch to thump on the marble floor. "I told you to watch him! Why were you so careless? Where is he now?"

"Don't worry. We'll find him!" "There's no point in getting angry," Frank's mother, Elise chimed in. "How can you expect me to be calm about this? Look at them! I'm furious!"

At this moment, another man rushed in and announced, "Master, bad news!" "Have you found that bastard?"

"Well..." The man hesitated for a moment and said, "We know where young master is."

"Where is he?"

"He... He was taken away by the members of the Shadow Organization."

"What?" Everyone was frozen in shock. Felipe Liang glowered.

The Shadow Organization was a hostile force that had risen in Japan since a dozen years ago. They were a ruthless organization. Why would they take Frank?

"Oh my God! We need to save Frank!" Elise shouted anxiously.

"How did you find out?" Felipe Liang was eerily calm.

"We got a hold of the surveillance video in the airport. It seemed that they were the ones who had taken the young master away." The bodyguard continued, "The Shadow Organization has been targeting a spy recently. It seems that they might have caught young master by mistake." "Then hurry up! Go and save him!

Contact their members directly. Make it quick! We can't waste any time!" Felipe Liang urged, a trace of panic in his voice.

"Yes, sir!"

All the bodyguards rushed out. Felipe Liang was both angry and anxious. This was the worst possible time for something like this to happen.

The Shadow Organization's headquarters was located by the hillside of the Maple Mountain in Tokyo's suburbs. It was disguised a resort.

At this time, they had just welcomed a new guest in the secret room in the villa.

"Get in!" The scarred man roughly pushed Frank inside.

As soon as Frank stepped inside the cold and dark place, he couldn't shake off the feeling that the odd smell that lingered in the air was that of blood.

A man sat at the head of the long table. He had his back turned and he was playing with a gun in his hand.

"Young lord, he's here," the scarred man announced.

"Okay," the man answered as he slowly swiveled his chair around. Frank frowned. He could tell that this man was not one to be messed with —he seemed well-connected and powerful. When he turned around, Frank was shocked.
