Chapter 64: Underground Prison
– But I heard that vampires are powerful. I’m afraid he will escape and find me. You don’t see how scary his eyes are when he looks at me. Perhaps he was very angry when he found out that I was impersonating the little mistress. The girl continued to cry.This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
– There’s no way to escape. Every hour or so we’ll throw garlic water at him. New wounds will pile up on old wounds. He won’t have the strength to break the chains. Let’s go inside, don’t talk about this anymore from now on. The butler sternly reassured the maid.
They had left a long time ago but Lucasta was still standing still.
Perhaps the person they were referring to was Samson. He came to find her and was imprisoned by her uncle, right?
They said they would throw garlic water at him every hour? How can he bear this?
– Sam… Samson, brother… brother.
She raised her hand to cover her mouth to muffle her sobs. The image of him when she threw garlic juice on him appeared in her mind, making her whole body almost numb.
At that time, she only threw a little garlic water on him, but a few days later, when he approached her at Calantha’s apartment, he was still not completely healed.
After looking around, she quickly returned to her room and focused on thinking of a way to save Samson.
Yes, she didn’t want him to cling to her, she was afraid of him but she didn’t want him to lose his life.
That day, it was because she wanted to confirm what Michael said that she did it. Deep in her heart, there is always love for the man who took care of her throughout her childhood and adolescence.
She is always tormented and imprisoned between fear and love.
When dinner was brought to Lucasta’s room, she only ate the food, and she took the milk into the bathroom and threw it away.
She didn’t like the taste of this milk, she only drank it when William was present.
For several hours, Lucasta did not close her eyes, she kept tossing and turning in bed, occasionally glancing at the clock.
She didn’t know where that secret room was and didn’t have the key, so she had no choice but to try her luck. She planned that when the housekeeper brought the garlic juice there, she would follow her.
Near eleven o’clock at night, Lucasta left the room in a simple black outfit and hid behind a large pillar near the housekeeper’s room.
The moment Lucasta saw the butler open the door and step out, she immediately followed.
Her little hand kept squeezing the diamond in her pocket, hoping it would give her more courage.
After reaching the end of the hallway, the butler turned left and walked towards the wall.
Lucasta also stopped, opened her eyes wide to observe and she was extremely surprised when she saw the wall suddenly move and a secret door appear.
She had walked by here before but thought it was a dead end.
Waiting for her to go inside and the wall to close, Lucasta walked closer and tried to feel around.
Finally, her hand touched a rough block that at first glance looked like normal bricks but seemed like it could move.
– Perhaps turning this will open it.
After remembering the location, Lucasta immediately crawled into the dense flower bushes nearby and sat down.
She almost fainted when she saw two bodyguards suddenly appear. Fortunately, they only looked for a moment and then turned in another direction.
While Lucasta impatiently stared at the wall, it still did not open. Her heart ached when she thought of the butler throwing a bucket of garlic water at Samson.
Her hands continuously squeezed each other as a way to reduce tension.
Finally, the butler left.
When Lucasta was sure there was no one around, she crawled out of the flower bush, ran to the wall, used her strength to turn the brick block that was a disguised lock, and then stepped inside.
The wall closed very smoothly, without any sound, but it also startled Lucasta because it completely isolated her from the outside world.
In front of her was a dark patch of darkness and it took a few minutes for her eyes to get used to the large space but there was only a small light placed at the end of the stairs.
Lucasta tried to cling to the wall and follow the steps leading to the room holding the man she thought was Samson.
In the back of her mind, she still hoped that the prisoner would be another vampire, not him.
However, the moment she approached the solid room, she completely collapsed when she recognized the face of the man who took care of her every meal and sleep.
He lay on an iron bed, his hands and feet chained tightly, stretched in all four directions, his breathing weak.
If she hadn’t lived with him for a long time, she probably wouldn’t have been able to realize that the bloody, disgusting man in front of her was the one she had always secretly praised as the most handsome man in the world.
– Samson, Samson… – Lucasta tried to stand firm, clinging to the iron bar and calling his name.
Although Samson had no strength left, when he heard the call of the girl he loved so much, he still tried to open his eyes and tilt his head to look at her.
The eyes that were originally capable of seeing through darkness and seeing everything clearly could now only see the blurred face of the girl in his heart.
He really wanted to call her name, wanted to ask her why she so cruelly pushed him into a dead end like this, but he didn’t have the strength anymore, his lips just moved without saying a word.
He could hear her crying. Why is she crying? The last bit of conscience that made her give him a few tears?
– Samson, I will find a way to save you, please try to wait for me. Will be quick.
She could only say a few words to him and then quickly leave for fear of the housekeeper or someone suddenly coming here.
The next time she comes back, she will definitely save him. She was afraid that if she kept delaying, he would not be able to stand the torture and lose his life.
Why did her uncle capture Samson and torture him like that? Should she go to her uncle and tell him that Samson was the one who took care of her for ten years? If William knew she owed Samson a favor, would he let Samson go?
– No, if he doesn’t agree, I will forever lose the chance to save Samson. Not say.
Lucasta took out the diamond, caressed it for a while, then put it back in her pocket. Just now, she really wanted to return it to Samson but there was no way to give it to him.
She couldn’t just throw it in there randomly. Samson treasured this diamond very much. What if it falls into someone else’s hands?
She didn’t know the effects of this blood-red diamond, but because Samson always carried it with him, she guessed it was very valuable, at least to him.
It was now twelve o’clock at night and while everyone was asleep, Harvey and Aurora were wide awake.
Samson suddenly disappeared without saying goodbye, making both of them extremely worried. Their premonition told them that something bad had happened to him.
The day Samson disappeared, Harvey had to stay at the company until five in the morning before he could drive home after restoring all of the company’s data.
And for a whole day today, he didn’t see a trace of the vampire half his age anywhere.
No matter where Samson went, he still had to remember to come back and drink human blood.
Harvey asked Aurora and she said that since coming home from work, she had not seen Samson stop by her house.
Harvey waited patiently and now it was almost a new day but Samson still didn’t come back.
After swearing a word, he took the phone and called Aurora.
– I can’t wait anymore, I’m so worried, I’ll have to secretly go there. I’m worried something happened to him. He spoke up as soon as Aurora picked up the phone.
– It will be very dangerous, Harvey. He’s Thomas, you know he’s Thomas. Aurora quickly spoke up to dissuade.
– I know, but Samson might be in danger, aren’t you worried about him?
– Of course, I’m worried about him. I exist for Samson, you know that.
Aurora’s answer made Harvey wake up and realize how stupid he was to say those words that hurt her like that.
Since when did his emotions override his reason?
Perhaps it was from the day he let go of his heart and let that girl’s footsteps enter little by little.
– Aurora, I…
– I’ll make an excuse to visit William’s niece and find out what happened. I’m sure Lucasta will know something. Please be patient.
After Aurora finished speaking, she turned off the phone, leaving Harvey to wander between worries and regrets, even disappointment.
He criticized her for not caring about Samson, but when he heard her say she existed because of Samson, he suddenly felt extremely uncomfortable and sad.
The night passed heavily and when dawn came, Aurora left the house and drove to the Institute of Medical Sciences.
She planned to invite a few more colleagues to visit Lucasta, listen to the situation, and find an opportunity to ask the blonde girl.
However, her plan could not be implemented when a close colleague of Dr. Henry said that William and Henry were on a business trip and everyone knew that if William was not at home, the butler would not receive any guests.
– Lucasta, I hope you remember that Samson raised you. Aurora whispered in helplessness.
Aurora did not know that at this time, Lucasta was also carrying out a plan to rescue Samson.
The first person she targeted to help her was the maid named Natasha. She wanted to take advantage of Natasha’s weakness of shyness and fear.
After a while of observing the surroundings, Lucasta gently approached Natasha and lightly touched her shoulder, making her jump in surprise.
– Miss… Mistress, why did you come out here?
– I went for a walk to improve my mood a little. Are you pruning the tree? Lucasta reached out and picked the only remaining rose and brought it to her nose to smell it.
– Yes.
– Natasha, I… I don’t know if I should talk about this with the housekeeper or not. Last midnight, a man came to my room and asked about Samson’s whereabouts. Samson is a vampire, the one who once raised me. That person asserted that Samson was in this villa and said he would return to save him, then take revenge on all those who wanted to harm him. It seemed like that guy was also a vampire because I saw that he had fangs, and long claws and moved very fast.
As soon as Lucasta finished speaking, Natasha trembled and fell onto the grass. Those blood-red eyes appeared in her mind again.
This look of Natasha makes Lucasta feel secure.
The blonde girl continued forward and slowly sat down, holding the maid’s cold hand.
– Natasha, Samson loves me very much. Please help me rescue him and I will ask him to forgive you. We have to stay one step ahead, otherwise, we will be avenged by the vampire. You don’t want to turn into a vampire, right? If he bites your neck…
– What should I do? Natasha squeezed Lucasta’s hand and asked.
The rock in Lucasta’s heart was removed when she heard this question. She leaned into Natasha’s ear and whispered.
She wants Natasha to help her find the key to open the room where Samson is being held as well as the key to unlock his handcuffs and footcuffs.
