I'm Sorry My Love Novel

Chapter 555

Ever since Naomi was taken away, Celia had been very calm and cooperative.

She was brought along the way from the get-go, and she was of no use, so the guards didn't pay much attention to

her. There were even several times when they forgot to lock the door after delivering her meals.

After quietly observing for two days, Celia was certain that the deliveryman would leave the building immediately

after sending her meals. There were also no guards around the building after that.

As long as she didn't bump into them when she left, there shouldn't be a major problem.

Moreover, around 3.00PM to 5.00PM, fewer people would lurk around as if afraid of being discovered.

At noon on the third day, Celia received her meal as usual. Just as the man was about to lock the door and leave,

Celia suddenly asked, "Has the child healed?"

The man glanced at her and spat, "Don't ask questions you shouldn't."

"I-I'm just worried about him. He has always been weak since young and requires a long time to recover whenever

he falls sick. I know he is very important to you, so you will take good care of him, won't you?"

"He has healed."

Celia smiled at that. "I can rest assured then. Thanks."

Without a response, the man closed the door and left.

Due to her interruption, he really forgot to lock the door.

Seeing that, Celia heaved a breath of relief. She felt as if her entire back had been drenched in sweat.

All she had to do now was wait. By 3.00PM, she would be able to escape.

At half past two, the sky began to darken slowly. Not long later, rain began to fall.

What perfect weather to escape.

Celia clenched her fists and thought the heavens must be helping her right now.

At 3.20PM, she sneakily opened the room's door and made sure that the coast was clear.

She then cautiously moved forward in the direction of the light until she found the exit.

After leaving the building, Celia immediately hid among the bushes outside and looked around.

This place was even bigger than she had imagined, and the place she stayed in seemed to be a backyard. From a

distance, she could spot taller buildings in front.

Celia recalled that it didn't take Raymond long to bring them to the entrance by car, so they definitely didn't come

in through the front main entrance. Hence, she deduced that the back door must be somewhere nearby.

Fortunately, there were many bushes and trees around. There was even a long stretch of wallflowers which was

ideal for hiding.

Celia was drenched in the rain as she hunched over and moved carefully along the stretch of wallflowers.

She was lucky that she picked such an excellent time to escape. Moreover, it was raining right now, so the whole

backyard was pretty empty.

But even so, the place was too huge. It took Celia at least half an hour to find the back door.

Upon seeing the back door, she was secretly delighted. However, there was a security booth at the door where two

men were chatting with each other.

After observing the surroundings for a while, Celia found that the walls were covered with vines, and most

importantly, there was a blind spot that was not captured by surveillance.

She went over to that spot and started climbing up while pulling the vines.

Soon, her palms were streaked with blood, yet she didn't let go. With gritted teeth, she climbed over the wall. To her

dismay, the other side of the wall was bare, and there were no vines for her to use as a buffer. Moreover, the wall

was at least six feet high.

After looking around, Celia felt intimidated. However, the thought of Naomi, the little guy who was sick, and

Raymond, who made use of her, she hesitated. After that, she closed her eyes and jumped over the wall.

The moment she landed on the ground, she clearly heard the sound of her bones breaking and couldn't help but

scream.

Enduring the severe pain in her body, Celia quickly covered her mouth.

It was raining heavily at the moment, and her voice was quickly covered by the sound of the rain.

When she got up, she saw blood pooling on the ground, but she didn't know where her wound was.

She didn't have time to be afraid or worried. Dragging her injured leg and arm, she started running on the road.

Even after running for at least ten minutes, there was not a single car to be spotted.

Her vision became more blurred by the rain, and just as she was about to pass out, she suddenly spotted headlights

in the shower.

Celia saw hope in an instant as she stood in the middle of the road and waved fervently at the car.

Soon, the black car stopped in front of her.

Celia patted the car window and shouted in the rain. "Please give me a ride! I—"

Just then, the car window slowly lowered, and Raymond's face was revealed.

He turned over to look at her with a smile. "Where are you going, Celia?"

Celia stared at him with wide eyes. Horror painted across her face as she subconsciously backed away.

She was initially feeling lucky and hopeful, but now, she felt like she had fallen into a cold abyss.

Celia started running, but her leg was injured. Under the rain, she could barely run.

Raymond took a few steps forward, grabbed her by the wrist, and sighed, "It's raining so heavily out here. Why are

you trying to torture yourself?"

Celia struggled desperately as she punched him. "Let me go!"

"Let you go? So that you can report to Aidan Pearson?"

"You punk! President Pearson will find out the truth and will never let you go!"

"I'm not the mastermind of this whole mission. At most, I'm just an accomplice. If he wants to settle the score, I'll be

the last in line. I will no longer be in Highside when he recalls my existence," Raymond uttered nonchalantly.

"Please, I beg you to let me go. I have already escaped, so just pretend you didn't see me. They will never find out!"

Celia bitterly begged for mercy.

"You said Aidan won't let me go earlier. If I let you go now, wouldn't I be bringing trouble to myself?"

Celia felt despair all of a sudden as she asked him helplessly, "Y-You approached me on purpose from the

beginning, didn't you?"

Raymond chuckled at that. "Well, I wouldn't call it a coincidence. I happened to notice the child with Aidan and

Leanna in the playground of a shopping mall, but I wasn't sure about anything yet back then, so I decided to stalk

you, who took the child away, and seek opportunities to approach you. I totally didn't expect that child to belong to

Aidan, so my whole act with you from before wasn't in vain."

"You beast!" Celia cursed.

"If I am a beast, what are you? You keep claiming that Aidan is your savior and that you can't betray him, but in

reality, I managed to trick you into telling me everything by treating you nicely."

"I… I did not…"

"You didn't tell me directly that the child was Aidan's, but do you really think of me as a fool? As long as I conduct an

investigation, I will be able to find out what I want."

Celia suddenly felt deprived of strength as she plopped to the ground.

It was her fault! It was all her fault…

If it were not for her, the situation wouldn't have turned worse.

Raymond then crouched in front of her. "You said that Aidan will not let me go, didn't you? Do you think he will let

you go, then?"

Celia raised her head abruptly at him and felt a chill traveling down her spine.
