Chapter 415
The chiller”
Olivia’s heart grew cold immediately
It was winter at the moment, and the temperature indoors was already below freezing point If lan was locked in a chiller, how cold and hopeless would he be?
She did not even dare to imagine what would happen to him.
After a long time, Olivia finally spat after digging her nails into her flesh, “Go faster!”
“Why don’t you ask Mr. Freeman for help, Liv? I think he’d be willing to help us out.”
Olivia’s heart sank when she heard Fred mention John.
If what happened before had something to do with John, could he have something to do with what was happening now as well?
However, when she thought back to what happened at the pub, she was a little suspicious.
Could she have misunderstood him?
However, as Olivia thought more, she knew how much John pampered Dorothy, and it was not impossible for him to be her literal partner in crime here.
“We stand on opposite sides.”
Fred did not ask more once he heard Olivia.
When they arrived at the northern suburbs, Fred opened the laptop and began his search.
There were two factories with cold storage in the area, but since the space in the picture was really small,
it could also be a chiller for domestic use.
In the suburbs, if someone were to have a chiller at home, it would probably be near the river.
After searching, lo and behold, there was a lake nearby.
Suddenly, Olivia saw a truck with a chiller and an ice cream logo passing them.
Something struck her. Olivia asked, “Fred, could it be a chiller on a truck?”
Fred looked at the rearview mirror, and his heart jumped. “Yes, it’s possible.”
However, if it was a chiller on a truck, it would not stay in one spot, so how could they check it out?
As Fred stopped the car by the lake, Olivia did not care anymore. She limped down from the car without her crutches.
The track marks led straight into the lake.
Before he could say anything, Olivia was already hobbling along after him. She was looking at the calm surface of the lake with her ashen face.
“Don’t panic yet, Liv. I’ll look for the rescue team. Maybe it’s not lan.”
Olivia had lost all hope. Her trembling lips uttered, “lan.”
Then, she dragged her aching right
leg and dunked herself into the lake crying, “lan! lan! Can you hear me? Hang in there! I’m coming!”
However, the only response she got was the whistling of the cold, winter wind.
Fred watched her go deeper into the lake and was quick to carry her out. “Don’t be like this, Liv! The lake is deep and the water is cold. Your leg…”
“lan!” Olivia cried as she struggled. “Let go of me! lan must be down there! I need to save him!”
She could not wait any longer. She could not care less.
She had even forgotten the fact that she could not swim.
As Olivia soaked in the bone-chilling lake, the pain in her right leg got stronger, but she still pushed Fred aside and dove head-first into the lake.
