Chapter 457
Olivia looked around, but she could not find Lyla. Eventually, she burst into tears.
Fred followed her and offered her comfort. “Liv, don’t panic. The car is here, so Lyla must be here.”
“Lyla…” She had tears in her eyes, and she had her head in her hands. She was at a
complete loss. “Did something happen to her? If something happens to Lyla, what should I do?”
Six years ago, shortly after Zy’s death, Jess, the only one who treated her well in the prison, also died
protecting her.
Since then, she was completely unable to accept any accidents happening to the people around her.
Once, Fred accidentally cut his hand, and the blood kept pouring out. It frightened Olivia so much that
she called 999 at a loss and cried all the way to the hospital.
Fred pulled her into his arms and held her head calmly. “Liv, calm down!”
At this moment, they heard a slight knocking sound.
“Liv, did you hear that?” Fred looked around, “Lyla must be fine, she’s telling us where she is.”
After hearing this, Olivia immediately held back her tears and listened carefully with her full
attention.
After more than ten seconds, she and Fred stumbled towards the open space not far away.

so high that it was impossible to see what was going on inside.
Hence, they could only look from the bottom and climb up layer by layer.
However, when they got to the middle, there was still no sign of Lyla, and Olivia’s leg already hurt.
Thud, thud!
They heard the voice again, so Olivia ignored the pain in her leg and continued to climb up.
‘Lyla!’
There was only one thought in her heart, and that was to find Lyla.
Finally, she spotted little Lyla curled up in the dark cement pipe with her hands and feet bound and her
mouth gagged.
Olivia’s tears could not be held back anymore, and they flowed out all at once.
“Lyla! I found Lyla!”
She crawled in and brought Lyla out, but because of the curvature of the concrete pipe, her right leg
gave way, and she fell forward just as she carried Lyla out.
Fortunately, Xavier and Fred were sharp-sighted and deft, so one of them caught Olivia, and the other
caught Lyla.
When he saw Xavier holding Olivia in his arms, Fred felt very upset, but Lyla’s life was more important,
so he did not have time to worry about it.
“I’ll carry Lyla. Please protect my sister.”
“No problem.”
Olivia frowned. “I’m fine. I can walk.”
Xavier did not speak. He leaned over and picked her up bridal-style before walking down.
Olivia was taken aback. “Hey, are you crazy? Put me down now.”
“Pheebs, if you move again, I can’t guarantee that we’ll get down safely.”
Upon hearing this, Olivia did not dare to protest anymore.
After all, if they fell, both of them would have to go to the hospital, and the loss would outweigh the
temporary gains.
Once on the ground, Xavier put her down.
“Thanks.”
After that, she ran toward Lyla.
At this moment, all the ropes and tapes on Lyla’s body had been removed. When she saw Olivia, she
threw herself into Olivia’s arms after sprinting over with her short legs.

“Lyla, I’m sorry. It’s all Mommy’s fault.”
Lyla shook her head. There were still wet tears on her face, but she did not cry anymore. Instead, she
stretched out her hand which was red from the ropes and wiped away Olivia’s
tears. “Mommy, don’t cry…”
After Lyla said that, Olivia could not bear it anymore. She hugged Lyla and began to cry sadly.
The more sensible this child was, the more distressed she made others. At the same time, she also
made Olivia blame herself more.
It must be because she was so fragile that her child was so strong.
Lyla was still so young, but when she was kidnapped and thrown into such a place, she did not cry or
make trouble. On the contrary, she was even trying to comfort Olivia now.
Suddenly, Olivia’s phone rang.
She handed Lyla to Fred and wiped away her tears. “Send Lyla to the hospital.”
She did not answer the phone until they got into the car.
“It’s me. Do you still remember me?”
The male voice was very familiar, but Olivia could not remember where she had heard it before.
“Did you kidnap Lyla?”
