Flash Marriage: Slow Down Mister novel Chapter 227

"Are you really Miss Laura Hutchinson?"

"Miss Hutchinson, what exactly happened to the kidnapping case back then? How did you manage to escape?"

"Since you're still alive, Miss Cheng, why haven't you appeared for so many years? Why do you make everyone misunderstand that you've passed away?

"May I know where you have been these years..."

...

The noise seemed to rush out of the sky, and the scene suddenly fell into chaos.

Sooner or later, Horace walked toward Laura before the reporters rushed over. At this moment, he was protecting Laura with Logan, afraid that she would be hurt by the people around her.

Watching Horace try his best to push away the reporters while hugging Laura with concern and worry, Clara lowered her head and looked at her feet. Fear rose from the bottom of her heart. She bit her lips tightly to prevent herself from shivering.

Seeing that Horace and Logan were protecting Laura, they did not even have the chance to interview her, however, their thoughts turned and they ran toward Clara after they saw her.

"Mrs. Kirkland, do you know that Miss Laura is still alive?"

"Mrs. Kirkland, why didn't you come with Mr. Kirkland before?"

"Did you know that Horace would come to pay his respects to Laura? Does this mean that there is indeed something wrong with your relationship with your husband..."

...

More and more reporters ran over to Clara's side. While asking questions, they pushed Clara towards Horace and the others. They wanted to take photos of the four of them. Even if they did not respond, these photos were enough to attract everyone's attention.

Soon, Clara, Horace, Logan and Laura were surrounded.

Seeing the chaos at the scene, the few people Logan brought along to help with the arrangement recovered from the shock that Laura had brought them. They hurried to walk forward to stop the reporters.

They formed a circle and protected Horace and the other three. They moved slowly in the direction of the car and finally arrived at the side of it.

"Young Master, ladies, please go. Leave this to us." After several people helped them get in the car, they lined up, trying to stop the reporters who were about to rush up.

But after all, they were outnumbered. The reporters soon surrounded them and kept hitting the windows. The car couldn't be driven at all.

"Young Master, what should we do now?" The driver had never dealt with such a situation. He turned around and looked anxiously at Logan.

Logan couldn't think of a solution at the moment. He couldn't rush out. If he bumped into someone, it would only make the situation worse.

Looking at the fanatical faces outside the car window, Horace's eyes flashed with a hint of haze. He motioned for the driver to get out of the way and Horace himself sat in the driver's seat.

Seeing that there were fewer people behind the car in the rearview mirror, Horace suddenly turned back, stepped on the clutch, and the car rushed forward.

The reporters didn't expect that the car would dash forward directly, and they ran to both sides in fear. For them, the news was very important; it was related to their career and salary, but they couldn't risk their lives either.

Seeing the reporters who had been blocking the car with their lives just now scatter away, Horace's mouth curved into a sneer, and then the car quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.

At the Hutchinson's house.

Horace, Clara, Logan, and Laura were sitting in the living room. No one spoke for a long time.

After serving them tea, the servant left the room and disturbed them no more.

Logan wanted to ask where Laura had been all these years and why she hadn't come to find her brother. However, after ten years, so many things had happened, that he didn't know where to start.

"Laura, what happened that year? Why did you disappear when I woke up?" In the end, it was Horace who spoke first. Now, he had already calmed down from the shock and asked Laura directly.

"I..." Perhaps Horace's impassive tone sounded like he was questioning her, or maybe Laura didn't know how to explain herself. After saying a single word, Laura lowered her head and stopped speaking. Her expression couldn't be seen clearly.

"Laura, what's going on?" Logan was a little anxious when he saw Laura lowering her head and saying nothing. He was eager to know what the beginning and end of this matter were. "Where have you been these years? Why didn't you come back to me?"

Laura did not answer Logan's question. Instead, she raised her head and looked at Horace. Her eyes were filled with nervousness and anticipation. "Horace, do you believe me?"

"What exactly happened back then?" Horace asked in reply.

Laura looked away in disappointment when she did not hear Horace's reply. "Actually, I'm not very clear about what happened ten years ago. At that time, something happened to me..."

Laura told him about what had happened little by little.

It turned out that on the day when the warehouse was on fire 10 years ago, a cleaner happened to be working in that area. Spotting the flames not far away, he quickly ran over to see what was going on.

When he reached the place, he found that the warehouse was on fire. His first reaction was to find someone to put out the fire.

However, through the fire, he seemed to have seen a vague figure in the warehouse.

At that time, the fire was not very big, so the cleaner rushed in to have a look. What if there was really someone? That was a human life!

Sure enough, when he went in, he saw a young man and a woman tied up with ropes and lying unconscious on the ground.

He had no time to think about what was going on. It was more important to save them. He went forward to untie the ropes for them and dragged the girl out first.

After putting the girl in a safe place, he hurried back to save the boy.

As soon as he ran to the door of the warehouse before he could enter, the door of the warehouse was burned down in front of him.

Frightened by the door in front of him, he hurriedly stepped back a few steps. Looking at the blazing fire in front of him, he struggled in his heart for a while. In the end, he did not dare to take the risk to save the boy but first sent the girl to the hospital.

"When I woke up, I found myself in the hospital, but I couldn't remember anything. I didn't know who I was, nor did I know why I was in the hospital. The nurse in the hospital told me that it was a cleaner in his 40s who sent me to the hospital. The cleaner told me everything."

After that, Laura looked at Horace sincerely, as if she was afraid that he would not believe her words.

However, Horace stared at the teacup in front of him with an unfathomable expression. No one knew what he was thinking, but he did not look at her.
