Chapter 883 Suddenly Became Alert
Yet, Jara would not give up.
Therefore, he sent people to ascertain Emmeline's whereabouts. Simultaneously, he did the same thing through other channels.
Emmeline was indeed missing this time, but she did not fall into trouble right away. Thus, he wasn't too worried.
He knew there were two groups of people who wanted to capture Emmeline. However, she should be safe for the time being because the other party simply whisked her away and did not kill her on the spot when the opportunity arose.
Even so, the atmosphere in the castle was uneasy.
Everyone could feel Jara's anger.
For this matter, the bodyguards who were responsible for the safety of Emmeline were all very remorseful.
They knew that it was their negligence that caused Emmeline to go missing.
Today, they had already been punished.
Rudy was the most unsettled of them all.
He didn't expect that such a thing would happen just because of a moment of negligence.
Thinking of Yunne's pretty face and Emmeline's trust in him before, he thought that if anything were to happen to them, he would want to murder himself.
At this time, the intense search was still going on.
On the other side, when Emmeline woke up, it was already night.
It was pitch dark all around. Her hands and feet were tied, and a rag stuffed in her mouth. Even her eyes were covered by a piece of cloth.
When she awoke, she struggled for a little period. But as soon as she knew what she was in for, she stopped moving.
She suddenly became alert.
What kind of place was this?
Where was she?
Emmeline felt a tingling sensation at the back of her neck and in the back of her neck. Only then did she recall accompanying Yunne to the restroom and being knocked out at the door.
"D*mn!"
Even though she was injured, if someone really attacked her from behind, it would be impossible for him to succeed with a single move, as per her typical skill.
She had faith in her intuition, which she had developed over years of being on the alert and treading on the brink of life and death.
This time, though, she was struck.
Lying on the ground, she carefully recalled all the details before she was knocked out. Only then did she remember that her body had been quite strange at that time.
Her head was dizzy at the time, so her reaction was a few pats slower.
D*mn it! She shouldn't have drunk those glasses of wine.
However, unless she was drugged, that amount of wine should not have been enough to get her drunk.
But that shouldn't be the case.
She had prepared her body by undertaking the immunological training of various drugs to protect herself while in Rosefinch Hall.
She had injected the drug for some against which she could not practice immunity. As a result, anyone attempting to drug her would usually fail.
What the hell was going on?
Emmeline was puzzled.
Later, she realized she wouldn't be able to figure it out anyway, so she decided not to think about it.
After struggling for a while, she discovering that the ropes around her hands and feet were extremely tight. It was not an ordinary way of tying but a unique dead knot.
All was fine if she didn't struggle. However, she would only make the knot tighter and tighter as she tried. She could feel the rope practically strangling her body, which was uncomfortable.
Emmeline took a few deep breaths.
Helplessly, she couldn't move. She couldn't see anything because her eyes were veiled. Therefore, she could only focus and listen to the movements around her.
It was unusually quiet around.
All was so quiet that she felt like she was in a closed space, and there was not even a sound of the wind.
She would have assumed she had died on a remote island if it hadn't been for the moist floor beneath her.
Emmeline paused for a moment. In the end, she gritted her teeth and struggled to sit up.
Although she didn't know who had knocked her out and tied her here, she was unharmed and didn't feel uncomfortable anywhere.
Hence, it was clear that although the other party had knocked her out and brought her here, he had not seriously injured her.
In general, if one had a vengeance against someone and wanted to kill her, one could have done it while she was under control.
Thus, Emmeline was not concerned about her safety at the moment.
Instead, she was worried about Yunne.
In fact, she had a hunch that the people who had captured her this time had something to do with the two groups of people who had attempted to murder her the previous time.
They were not the type to do useless tasks. Furthermore, the fact that they didn't kill Emmeline after kidnapping her suggested that she was worthy to them.
Those who were useful would suffer little, but their lives would not be endangered.
There were, on the contrary, people who were useless to them.
It was uncertain that they wouldn't kill someone who wasn't valuable to them.
Emmeline still didn't know Yunne's true identity at the time, thus in her view, Yunne was just an ordinary servant.
Those who saw her with Emmeline might have caught her with them to prevent her from returning to report or for other reasons.
However, according to her judgment based on her hearing, there was no one else in this area other than herself.
Where did they take Yunne?
Emmeline didn't dare to think about it. Yunne was, after all, not only useless to them but also an accident.
According to their way of doing things, they were quite likely to murder her.
At the thought of this, Emmeline couldn't help but feel anxious.
She couldn't imagine how she would deal with Rudy and herself if something really happened to Yunne.
Keira had passed away as a result of her. Emmeline then treated Yunne more kindly after noticing a resemblance to Keira in her.
Was it because she treated Yunne a little better that she brought Yunne to such a tragic fate?
No! It was impossible!
She would never allow such a thing to happen again!
Thinking of this, Emmeline began to move forward step by step.
She had no idea where she was. She could only guess by the moist wooden boards beneath her body that she was in a wooden house.
She wanted to investigate her surroundings, but her hands and feet were tied. Thus, she could only move around with her legs.
After a long time, Emmeline was sweating all over, and then she moved to a wall.
Due to the movements, the rope on the wrists and ankles became tighter and tighter, almost to the point of bleeding.
But she didn't seem to feel it at all. She turned her back to the wall and groped with her palm, a bit at a time.
After a while, her eyes suddenly lit up.
She touched a big gap. If she guessed right, it should be the door.
She was so lucky!
Emmeline was overjoyed and slowly stood up along the door.
As expected, she eventually felt a doorknob behind her.
