Love in the Limelight novel Chapter 463

Astrid quickly turned back to warn Elio, but found him already signaling her to be silent.

She was taken aback. Could Elio understand Morse code as well?

They carefully retreated, and before she could ask, Elio quietly explained, “I taught Lucas Morse code. He used to communicate with me using it.”

“Oh.” Astrid nodded. “Who do you think is hiding in the room?”

Elio said, “Jay Lampard’s people. He must have guessed that I would come back to rescue Lucas, so Lucas won’t be in danger as long as I don’t show up.”

“You wait here. I’ll go find a nurse’s uniform and check out the situation.” Astrid barely finished speaking when Elio grabbed her hand.

“What are you doing?” Astrid turned her head, her brows furrowing. “We are running out of time. Stop dawdling.”

Elio said, “We don’t know what the situation is inside. I won’t let you go in and take the risk. I’ll go, and you wait here.”

Astrid was hesitating, “I…” Before she could finish speaking, Elio suddenly leaned down, and through the mask laid a gentle kiss on her lips. “Trust me, Astrid.”

“This is a hospital, not a love nest!” A passing nurse grumbled. Astrid snapped back to reality, feeling her ears heat up. Damn it, it was embarrassing!

“You’re nuts!” Astrid grabbed Elio’s arm. “Jay knows you too well. Even if you disguise yourself in scrubs and a mask, he’d recognize your figure. He has never seen me, I should be the one to go!”

“Ding…” The elevator dinged once, the doors opened, and Amanda and Matthew walked out.
