Chapter 226: Dim Light

"Lucia? Lucia? Wake up, Lucia!"

"Leo? Leo-"

Lucia opened her eyes, she vaguely saw Chris's face looking at her with a sad face. She didn't know what happened to her and why her whole body felt so weak.

Chris gently stroked her head after she regained consciousness, she felt pain that was difficult to explain.

"Chris, Leo? Where's Leo?"

"Bryan and Pierre are trying to contact Samantha to ask where Leo is currently."

"Oh my God, I have to go to his place, Chris. I have to look for him!"

"Calm down! It's best for now to rest and stay in bed. Regarding Leo, let us to find him."

"How can I calm down, Chris? Leo is in danger and maybe no one can help him. Chris, I don't want to lose him, I love him so much." Lucia sobbed. At times like this she didn't even care about herself. She just wanted to see Leo immediately and make sure he was okay.

Chris was amazed, seeing how Lucia was so worried about Leo. Her love was so great and he couldn't stop her.

Bryan and Pierre entered the room hastily, looks of panic on their faces and after realizing that Lucia had woken up from fainting, they tried to hide their anxiety. But just by looking at their faces, Lucia knew that there was a big problem they had to solve.

Lucia got out of bed and approached Bryan, who was trying to look away to cover his anxiety. He knew Lucia was very sensitive and that would be a problem for them.

"Where is Leo? Do you know where he is?"

"We have contacted Samantha and forced her to tell us where Leo went to meet Antonius and his men."

"Really? She told you? So, where is it?"

"We'll be there with the police, you don't need to worry and stay here with Chris!" Pierre said.

"No! I don't want to, I'll come with you!"

"Don't be so stubborn, Lucia! It might be too dangerous there. Antonius is a mafia, his men must have weapons. You stay here and wait for news from us. I don't want to risk endangering you!" Bryan said forcing Lucia to stay instead of coming with them.

"I'm not just waiting! I'll come with you!"

"Lucia, please listen to me! You can't get involved there, I know if you come with us you will definitely be reckless and do dangerous things!"

"I don't care! I don't care about any of that at all! I just want to meet him, whatever happens I will go no matter if you try to stop me, I will still go look for him!"

Too stubborn, that's what the three of them thought. In the end, the four of them were forced to go to an abandoned factory with the police.

"Listen, you can't get out of the car, you understand?" Bryan repeatedly tried to warn Lucia but from the look on Lucia's face it was clear that she did not listen to Bryan's advice.

She was too worried and busy thinking about what happened to Leo? Is he okay? Did he come to that place alone? Her tears continued to flow, she didn't want to think about the worst that could happen if they couldn't find her.

Chris, who was sitting next to her, held her trembling hand tightly. Lucia turned to look at Chris's face who was smiling sadly at her, she knew Chris was trying to give her strength.

Lucia tried to be strong, but her thoughts kept going back to Leo. Almost a day had passed since they parted at the door of her apartment and her feelings at that time were so strong that it was very difficult for her to let go of Leo's hand.

In the middle of the road, traffic jams occurred because a bank was robbed, causing quite serious traffic jams. Lucia felt increasingly uneasy, what was happening was slowing down their movements.

Her anxiety became so intense that the robbers' car almost crashed into their car while trying to escape from the police.

"Oh damn!" Bryan cursed in annoyance. Just like Lucia, he felt uneasy because the chaos that had occurred meant that their car could not drive smoothly. Even the police who had originally accompanied them to the abandoned factory were forced to help the police on duty to surround and arrest the armed bank robbers.

"How is this? Haven't we been too long? What if something bad happens to Leo?"

"Calm down, Lucia! For now we can't do anything. We have to wait until the robbers are caught and this traffic jam is resolved quickly!" Bryan held his head. To be honest, he was quite depressed because he was the one driving the car the four of them were in.

Lucia continued to move restlessly, she couldn't calm down at all even though they asked her to stay calm. While the car was still stopped, she decided to open the car door and run quickly out onto the sidewalk.

"Oh damn, what is she doing?" Bryan said.

"Lucia...? Lucia...!" Chris thought about going after her. However, the car behind them kept honking their horn to get their car to move quickly.

"We have to chase her immediately!"

"That fool, what is she thinking? Can't she be patient for a moment?"

Meanwhile, Lucia continued to run along the sidewalk, which made her accidentally collide with one of the robbers who managed to escape.

"Bastard, what are you doing...?" The man shouted loudly. But Lucia immediately gave him a kick right in the groin.

"Don't get in my way, you bastard!" She said.

"Oh shit-" the man winced in pain while holding his cock. He dropped a gun and Lucia hurriedly took the gun.

Lucia saw two policemen approaching, in panic she immediately hid the gun in her clothes and immediately ran as if she didn't know anything.

"Hey Miss, where are you going...?" One of the police shouted when he saw her just running after giving the robber a fatal kick.

Lucia didn't care, she continued running as fast as she could. They had wasted too much time and she was worried that when they came, they wouldn't be able to save Leo.

At a crossroads, she saw a taxi stop and immediately opened the taxi door.

"Take me to the abandoned factory in the border area of ​​the city!"

"What are we going there, Miss?"

"Don't ask too many questions, take me there right now!"

"But Miss, that area is quite dangerous because recently armed foreigners have often visited it!"

The taxi driver tried to refuse, he was afraid to be taken to the abandoned factory area. Because she felt she had no choice while she still didn't see any signs of Bryan's car coming by, Lucia was forced to take out the robber's gun which she had hidden under her clothes.

"Quickly, take me to that place right now!" She said in a threatening tone. The driver stared in horror, he didn't expect that he would be pointed at with a weapon like this.

"O-okay, Miss!" He said scared as he drove his car.

Lucia forced the taxi driver to drive his car faster, no matter if he had to break the speed limit. When they arrived at the area where the abandoned factory was located, Lucia asked the driver to stop immediately.

"Just stop here!" She said. She took off the gold necklace around her neck and gave it to the driver, then opened the car door and left.

"Gold necklace?" The driver frowned, he didn't expect that he would be given a gold necklace after driving a woman he thought was a robber.

The area around the factory is very quiet, surrounded by tall trees and long roads that are rarely used by vehicles. Lucia walked carefully, looking around the factory to make sure no one noticed her arrival.

"Leo, please wait! I will definitely save you."
