She slowly lay down. Sampson removed the gauze from her head. There was a small wound on her forehead. It was dealt with in the hospital. The doctor said that she didn’t have any life danger although she bled a lot.
It hurt a bit when Sampson was putting the medicine on it. Loredana gritted her teeth, not letting out any sound. The oozed sweat beads on her forehead showed how much it hurt.
“Cry out if it hurts a lot.”
“No, it doesn’t.”
Loredana closed her eyes.
After a few minutes, Sampson had done putting the medicine on her, “I’ll drive in the daytime, so I need a good rest at night…”
“Go ahead and tie me up.” Loredana what he was implying.
Sampson bent over and started with her feet, “I’ll tie them up loosely. You’ll feel better in this way.”
But she could never feel comfortable when being tied up, could she?
Loredana closed her eyes, feeling dizzy. She let him tie up her hands as well. She decided to find a chance to escape after he was not so alerted to her.
“Knock. Knock-”
Suddenly, they heard the sharp knocks on the door.
Sampson’s expression changed dramatically. He gazed over at the door.
There were knocks on the door again together with a man’s voice, “Open the door! Hurry!”
“Who is there?” Sampson didn’t want to open the door, because he wasn’t sure who was knocking on the door.
Loredana gazed at the door. Her heart hammered. She wondered if Cormac had tracked them here.
She was full of expectant.
The person outside the door was quite determined. He pounded at the door again with loud bangs,
“Open the door now! Or we’ll break in!”
Sampson seemed to realize who was outside the door. He cursed in a low voice, “How come there are anti-pornography officers?”
He turned around and tucked Loredana into the quilt. He said, “No matter who will enter the door, you can’t utter any sound.”
Loredana heard his curse just now, so she roughly knew that it wasn’t Cormac outside.
In fact, she doubted if Cormac would come to find her.
She had so much uncertainty about him.
After all, they had parted from each other for such a long time.
However, she still had a ray of hope, hoping and expecting his rescue.
Since she wasn’t sure if she could escape successfully right now, she wouldn’t expose her intention to
Sampson. She obediently nodded in agreement, “I won’t.”
“Good girl.” Sampson rubbed her head. Then he turned around and opened the door. When the door was open, people outside broke in aggressively. Then an undercover cop walked in with a solemn look,
“You two…”
“Excuse me, Officer. Please don’t misunderstand. We’re not in an improper relationship. The girl on the bed is my girlfriend. She doesn’t feel well, and she’s mute.” As he spoke, Sampson pulled out his ID
with a pile of cash under it, roughly twenty thousand in total. He handed all of them to the officer and said, “Here is my ID.”
The policeman took over the ID and rubbed secretly to know how much was under it. He put all of them into his pocket expressionlessly. Then he took a perfunctory glance at the ID and said to other policemen, “All right. They are not.”
They left the narrow room one after another. The lead also gave them a kindly reminder before going out, “You’d better not stay in such a kind of hotel in the future. It’s unsafe and your relationship would be easily misunderstood.”
Sampson walked him out and nodded, “Yes, Sir. I got it. Thanks.”
The officer lowered his voice and whispered to Sampson, “I know you are not a hooker with her client because I know almost all the hookers in this neighborhood.”
Sampson was quite unhappy to hear him say such undisguised words. However, he had to remain smiling. After all, he was not in his territory. No matter how rich and powerful he was, he couldn’t compete with a local tyrant and he didn’t want to get in trouble, “I got it, Sir.”
Sampson returned to the room and closed the door. He said, “They are anti-pornography officers here…”
Before he could finish his words, he found the woman on the bed was missing. The bedhead was next to the window, which was open now. His expression changed and rushed over. Then he peered out of the window, only to find a small roof below. It wasn’t built on this building originally but added later.
As the officer said, almost all guests checked in such a kind of hotel were involved in pornography, so those officers always had sudden inspections. For the guests to escape, such type of roof was built below each window.
Although Loredana made it to get downstairs by stepping on the roof, the room was still distant from the ground. She twisted her ankle when hopping down, so she couldn’t run fast.
Sampson saw her figure and roared angrily, “Loredana Flores, stop!”
Upon hearing his roar, Loredana fastened her paces as if she had heard the urge of death. She ignored the pain in her ankle and only wished that she could run faster so that Sampson wouldn’t be able to catch her.
After all, since she had managed to escape, Sampson would definitely know that she hadn’t lost her memory yet.
He didn’t believe her, and she could imagine what he would do to her after he caught her again.
Sampson rushed downstairs and ran fast to chase her.
He couldn’t let Loredana escape!
It was a small town indeed, and even the street lamps were not everywhere. It was quite dim with all kinds of lanes in this neighborhood. Occasionally, there was a barbecue stall on the roadside. The air was full of the smell of cumin and barbecues.
Loredana ran into a small lane, which was quite dark. Nothing could be seen. She dared not to stop.
Reaching out and waving her hands in front of her, she tried to make the way, fastening her paces.
“Loredana Flores, you can’t run away!” There was a flashlight. She heard Sampson’s voice.
He was close to her.
Loredana suppressed the horror and panic and kept walking forward. She might have stepped on something, which stabbed into her foot. Since she had been tied up by Sampson, she didn’t wear shoes. She was running barefoot, which was beneficial in that she wouldn’t make any sounds when running, but the shortage was that her feet would be stabbed by anything sharp on the ground.
She didn’t know what had been stabbed into her foot. It hurt so much.
She held the wall of the lane but didn’t dare to slow down.
At the end of the lane, she saw the light. She rushed over, trying to stop it, but the light flashed through quickly.
Her hope was shattered. As Sampson’s footsteps were approaching her closer and closer, she looked around in a panic, trying to find a place to hide.
“Hello, Lola?” His voice had become closer. She even saw the flashlight shaken in Sampson’s hand.
Right then, how she wished that there would be someone saving her!
