Accordingly, the bed sheets and mattress were also embroidered with bright flower totems. It fitted the ceiling perfectly.
“Where am I?” Leilani was wandering.
“It is not like B country style, nor the City.”
Leilani sat up and had a look. Telling from the decoration, furnishings, and bedsheets, it looked like a place for rich men.
Therefore, Leilani presumed that it was almost impossible to be kidnapped.
She guessed that she was still in the presidential palace.
Leilani wasn’t sure.
At that time, a woman who wore a bright, colorful skirt with flower patterns knocked on the door. And then she walked into the room with a basin of water.
Finding Leilani wake up, the woman was anxious and hurriedly putting the basin and a towel beside the bed.
“Miss. Are you awake?” the woman said warmly and dried the towel, “Can I wipe your face for you?”
“No, you can’t,” Leilani refused decisively. Now the only thing she wanted to know was where she was and why she was here.
“Well. Here is the basin. You can wash your face by yourself,” the woman said and untied the rope for her.
“Where is it?” Leilani was surprised that the woman untied the rope so quickly.
“Here is Cambola City. It is located in the center of B Country and the City.”
“Why am I here?”
“President took you here. Sorry, I don’t know.”
“President? Logan Arlington? Why did he take me here?” Leilani thought to herself.
Leilani left the bed and walked to the window. She looked out of the window and found that there were all short buildings. The house was like a circle with a pointed roof, which seemed very exotic and mysterious.
“Miss. You shouldn’t walk around casually because there were all kinds of wild animals, such as venomous and dangerous snakes, beasts, and toxic insects. It is very dangerous.”
“Ok. When can I see the president?”
The woman shook her head. She didn’t know either.
There was no sofa here, only chairs and a table made of bamboo. Leilani sat in a chair, asking, “Is there anything to eat?”
Leilani was hungry now. She hadn’t eaten anything from yesterday night to dawn.
The woman quickly took some dessert back and said to Leilani, “It’s almost time for dinner. Please eat some dessert first.”
Leilani was shocked and said to herself, “It was just dawn. Is it time for dinner? Otherwise, it is dark late here?”
“Do you know where my phone is?” Leilani asked. She wanted to know what time it was.
“No, I didn’t see it,” the woman asked. Then she added, “It is a remote place. Even if you have a phone, there is no signal.”
Leilani had planned to contact Waylen, but the woman broke her plan now.
Leilani wanted to know how Waylen right now. She didn’t know whether Rebecca’s plan went well.
Now Leilani started to be anxious. She picked up a piece of black dessert and tried it. It tastes sweet. It is probably made by glutinous rice and feels a little cool and sticky.
The black dessert tastes good. When Leilani was going to try again, a woman who wore exotic clothes ran into the room suddenly, saying, “Miss. Peters, the owner of the city, had told us if you woke up, you could go with me to visit the owner.”
Leilani put down the dessert.
She was not familiar with this place, and there was no signal, so she couldn’t escape easily. She had to follow the woman.
Leilani stepped on the mud, passing through a banana forest. In the city, there were many kinds of plants, but it was not a prosperous city.
Soon, Leilani arrived in a round room, which was bigger than the place she woke up.
Here was a living room. There was a high-footed table in the center. On both sides, there were two red solid wood chairs, which was for guests.
To Leilani’s surprise, Andrew was here except Logan and a man.
“Miss. Peters, sorry for any inconvenience. Have you had a good night?” A man asked. Leilani thought the man must be the owner of the city.
The owner looked a little black with rough and bushy beards.
Leilani first bowed to the owner of the city, and then walked to Andrew quickly, whispering to him, “Why are you here?”
“I’m afraid that you will be in danger,” Andrew said. It was true that Andrew paid much attention to her. He followed her all the way. He knew Leilani went to the banquet hall through a wild road, and then she fainted. And then Leilani was taken out of the study room.
“Why did the president take me here?”
Andrew shook his head. Then hearing that Logan said to the owner of the city, “Mr. Rooney, I heard that there is a beauty who has been sleeping for years at the altar of Cambola City. Can you let us have a look?”
“Mr. President, frankly, I saved the beauty on the banks of Cambola’s river years ago. She had already fainted. Mysteriously, she still has perfect organ function and is still alive.
Leilani listened attentively. She knew Logan was very interested in the beauty.
Leilani guessed that beauty could be in a persistent vegetative state, but she didn’t say anything.
The owner continued, “She has fainted for many years, but in these years, Cambola City has been developed very well. I presumed that beauty is a goddess that god sent to us. It means good luck. Although the altar is an important place for our city and foreigners are not allowed to get in, I can take you guys to have a look because you are honorable.”
“Thank you.”
Thus, they drove through a small road and arrived for about ten minutes.
The altar was located on a wild mountain. Rooney wasn’t allowed to get in first. They could only look outside.
As they can see, the altar was surrounded by a glass window, and everything can be seen from outside.
Leilani and Andrew were standing behind Logan. On the way to the altar, Logan almost said nothing. He looked very anxious and serious. There, Leilani wasn’t trying to ask why Logan sent her here first.
But Leilani guessed that it must have something about beauty.
When they stood in front of the glass window, the owner ordered his son to open the door.
Ran picked up a key that was on his waist and opened the door of the altar.
Logan had a glance at the key in secret.
As the door opened, they could smell Traditional Chinese medicine, and a rectangular crystal coffin slowly descended.
When the coffin was descending, it was tranquil. You can even hear the noise clearly when a needle falls.
Finally, the coffin descended. Leilani recognized who the woman was.
With her hands putting on the glass, Leilani looked at the woman who was asleep through the glass.
She finally knew why Logan would bring her here.
The crystal coffin was finally put to the ground with a thump.
Leilani looked at the crystal coffin in which a familiar figure was quietly lying there. The woman wore a plain white dress, and her face was unchanged as if years had left no trace on her.
Andrew looked at Leilani, clenching her hand into a fist, and asked curiously, “Do you know her?”
Leilani burst into tears and said, “Yes. She’s my mother.”
Andrew was surprised that Leilani’s mother was so young.
Looking at the woman in the crystal coffin, Logan was also stunned and stood still.
He looked at the woman in shock with dark eyes.
As he saw, Olivia was as attractive as ten years ago, with delicate eyebrows, red lips, and fair and bright skin.
Olivia was in her forties, but she looked like a woman in her twenties.
Rooney explained, “Although she was in a coma, we soaked all kinds of herbal medicine outside the crystal coffin to maintain the environment she needed for her life.”
Leilani’s mother was in a coma and could only rely on traditional medicine to support her life.
Leilani wanted to ask if she could take her mother out and treat her in a more scientific way, but was there any way to wake her mother up after she has been in a coma for more than a decade?
When Leilani was still thinking, the crystal coffin had gone up, and then the altar door slammed shut.
Olivia just disappeared into the sight of the people, as if it was just an illusion.
