Chapter 702
Ricky had decided to go to Lulu while Zachary was not at home.
Lulu was just about to leave when he arrived, intending to look for Ricky since she needed his help.
As they ran into each other at the front door, they stared into each other's eyes for a couple seconds before Ricky spoke. "Zachary is with James Cross. I came knowing that he won't be around-”
Lulu stepped up and grabbed his wrist, pulling her somewhere quiet to talk. ’I was just looking for you. I need your help."
"What is it? Just tell me—I'll see to it," Ricky promised.
Lulu gave him an address and told him, "There's a couple who lives there. The husband is Tobias Lang-he and his wife Barbara saved me. Zachary is threatening me with their safety, and I can't do anything or leave him because of that. That's why I need you to hide them so that Zachary would never find them."
"That bastard!" Ricky cursed.
"That's enough, go already," Lulu urged, worried that they would be surprised if they were too late.
Ricky held her gaze for a long while. "Be safe."
"Don't worry, I can protect myself. He won't do anything to me," Lulu said. ’ Just get it done, and call me after."
"I'll see to it,” Ricky said determinedly.
"Yeah. Thank you," Lulu said earnestly.
"Now you're being distant," Ricky told her, and suddenly added, "Can I hug you?"
Lulu was hesitant-she had only allowed him to kiss her before because he had done it out of the blue before she could react.
"Ricky, please give me time. Once I'm done with Zachary, I will think about it properly, okay?"
She was actually conflicted about Ricky, because she did not know if she had feelings for him before.
She only wanted to see him because she had no one she could count on other than him.
"Okay," Ricky replied with a grin. "Call me anytime if something comes up."
"Yeah." Lulu replied.
Meanwhile, Seth had his neck wound checked at the hospital, after which he was given a bandage around his neck.
However, he seemed to forget that Seth was involved the instant he used Seth.
'What on earth did he do?!" Seth snapped, feeling increasingly annoyed just then-it was really upsetting for everyone to keep him in the dark!
Still, he closed his eyes to compose himself for a moment.
Pointing at his own neck, he said as calmly as possible, "Look here. Irene Spencer almost killed me, you know?"
Enrique naturally understood why and he gave Seth an idea. "You should leave the country."
Seth frowned. "Do you think the matter would be resolved if I hid? At least let me know what I did!"
"Do you really want to know?" Enrique asked, looking him straight in the eye. ' How about this: promise me to leave the country, and I'll tell you."
Seth thought about it, but he decided to agree with it for the time being since Enrique might not tell him otherwise.
He had to know!
Enrique was silent for a while, and he eventually said, "Fine. Come over here-l have something to show you."
