The Broken-hearted She And The Icy He (Lily and John) novel Chapter 632

Lily’s heart pounded with terror. She wanted to kill him, even if it meant dying herself.

Spotting the glass on the bedside table, she was about to grab it and smash it over his head when his phone rang sharply.

Hearing the ringtone, a flash of impatience crossed his dark expression.

However, upon seeing the caller ID, he released her and quickly answered.

Lily still wanted to brain him.

But he was now at a distance, and he kept his eyes on her while he talked. His reflexes were too good. If she attacked while he was on guard, she wouldn’t stand a chance. She forced herself to suppress the urge to fight him to the death.

If she were alone, she wouldn’t care if she lived or died.

But she was carrying their babies.

James was waiting for her. She had to protect herself. She couldn’t bear to leave James alone.

“Fine, I’m heading over now.”

Lily had no idea what the person on the other end had said.

After Mergan hung up, he grabbed his jacket and strode out.

As he passed her, he paused briefly. “Lily, be good. I’ll be back soon.”

Lily wished he would drop dead outside and never return.

But, reasoning that his absence was her chance to escape this godforsaken place, she didn’t

argue.

Hearing the heavy thud of the door closing, Lily leaped from the bed.

Waiting a moment until he was likely at the main gate, she quickly opened the door, ready to flee.

The moment the door opened, several bodyguards instantly blocked her path. “Miss, Mr. Mergan instructed you to stay in your room.”

“I’m leaving!”

Lily shoved at the bodyguard blocking her. “He has no right to lock me up! By stopping me, you’re aiding his crimes! It’s illegal! Let me go!”

“Our apologies, Miss. We cannot disobey Mr. Mergan’s orders.”

Their attitude was strictly professional. They showed no sign of letting her pass.

Lily was trembling with fury.

She took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down, and tried to turn them.

“How much does Mergan pay you?”

Lily paused. “You must know the Luke family is far wealthier than the Ginger family. My personal assets alone are worth a hundred times more than Mergan’s. Let me leave today, and I’ll give each of you ten million!”

“Miss, please return to your room.”

The bodyguards were like unthinking machines. No matter how Lily threatened or bribed them, they refused to let her go.

Lily decided to make a break for it.

Two female bodyguards stepped forward, grabbed her, and forcibly carried her back into the room. They were completely impassive.

The door was slammed shut once more.

Lily knew that even if she rushed out again to negotiate, they would never side with her.

She stopped wasting time and energy and decided to try the window.

She ran to it, only to realize she was on the fourth floor.

And the ground below the window was covered in sharp, broken glass.

Even if she tied bedsheets together and managed to get down, the slightest slip would mean being impaled on the field of glass below.

Mergan had done this deliberately.

That madman had locked her on the fourth floor and covered the ground in glass specifically to eliminate any chance of a window escape.

A landline!

Seeing a telephone in the luxuriously furnished room, Lily’s eyes lit up.
