Fleeting as Dust, Eternal as Love novel Chapter 8

As his vision cleared, Jonah realized the woman standing before him wasn’t Sabrina. He frowned slightly but then relaxed as his nerves calmed down.

“What are you doing here?” he asked softly.

Lillian looked worried, helping him straighten his collar. “Jonah, you haven’t come to see me in a week. I was really worried about you, so I came to find you. Are you okay?”

“I’m fine,” Jonah said absentmindedly, getting to his feet. “You has just recovered; you shouldn’t be out in this cold.”

Lillian nodded obediently. She noticed how exhausted Jonah looked and the blood and glass in his palm.

Frowning, Lillian carefully led him to the dining table, where she took out the first aid kit from under the TV cabinet and began treating his wounds.

Jonah let her tend to him, staring blankly at the three dishes and a soup on the table, identical to the ones Sabrina used to prepare for him.

Lillian didn’t say much as she treated him. Seeing his distracted state, she felt a surge of bitterness but concealed it well.

Pretending to be concerned, she asked, “Jonah, has my sister not come back yet…”

When Jonah’s expression suddenly turned cold, Lillian couldn’t hide the smirk that crept into her heart. But she quickly adopted a cautious tone, “I heard she’s been spending time with Colin…”

Jonah slammed his forks onto the table, silencing her immediately.

Jonah spoke coldly, “Lillian, you should go…”

But before he could finish, his phone suddenly rang.

He answered, and Viggo’s panicked voice came through, “Mr. Adams, it’s about Miss Lillian—she’s been implicated…”

The front door of the villa burst open before Viggo could finish. Jonah hung up, his sense of unease growing stronger.

“Lillian, you’re under arrest for your involvement in a kidnapping case. Please come with us,” the police officer announced as they entered.

Jonah froze, unable to process what he was hearing.

He watched as the police restrained Lillian. He stood up abruptly, but his vision went black, and he collapsed.

“Mr. Adams, Mr. Adams,” the police officers called out to him, snapping him back to reality.
