Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia) novel Chapter 1567

He was so shocked that he broke out in a cold sweat upon a closer look at the wristwatch. At first, he had wanted to check the degree of damage on the cover glass and see if he had damaged the internal parts or the concave surface. When his gaze landed on the date by the side, Wyatt forgot to react for a long time.

A century seemed to have passed before he muttered, "Is it past twelve o'clock?"

Or had his wristwatch been damaged?

Didn't he agree to have a meal with Waverly and her father the next day?

How did it end up being on that day?

Wyatt's vision blurred as he reassured himself that he must be giddy-headed from capturing the criminal, and his thoughts had yet to recover. He must have seen it wrongly. It must be the case! He had set a reminder for that day. He did not remember having received any reminders!

In a trance, a voice went pouring from above his head that sounded ice-cold to his ears. "It's not even eleven o'clock! Wyatt, aren't you looking at the watch? Are you confused?"

Looking at his watch and then checking hers, Raynee was puzzled. Wasn't it all shown on his watch? Why would he ask such a question?

Thunder rumbled in his head as Wyatt staggered. As a thought flashed through his mind, Seth looked at the time and remembered that he had changed a new watch that day. There was no date on it, so he withdrew his phone and stared at the screen, his face turning pale.

After the woman was taken away for a simple verification, the person in charge came over.

"Mr. Johnson, since she has been caught, she's most probably the culprit! Why don't you wait for a moment and take a seat? I can help you deal with the formalities so that you won't have to come over again...”

"All right!"

Raynee readily agreed, pleased at the thought of how lucky she was. On the other hand, Wyatt's brain went blank. All he saw were figures shaking beside him with their mouths seemingly moving, but he could not make out a single word they said.

Without waiting for them to finish their words, Wyatt pushed them aside. He threw out a few words and ran toward the door. "Seth, help me deal with the rest!"

"Wyatt, where are you going?"

"Alas, your hand is bleeding! You're injured! Wyatt..."

Stomping her feet, Raynee shouted and chased after Wyatt far away, but she was left with no choice but to watch as Wyatt disappeared from the exit in a blink of an eye!

Walking out of the police station, Waverly covered her neck as if she had just had a nightmare.

"Miss Castle, please take your mobile phone! Your friend is here to pick you up..."

As she accepted her phone, Waverly was taken aback upon raising her gaze. "Why is it you?" Quill? How did he know that she was at the police station?

Quill took the bag from her hand and curled the corner of his lips into a faint smile. "Let's go!"

"Thank you!"

After nodding to the policewoman, Quill removed his blazer and draped it over Waverly's shoulders.

Seeing that there were outsiders by her side, Waverly nodded knowingly and thanked the policewoman. "Thank you."

"You're welcome! In the future, you should pay more attention to safety when you're out on the streets! A girl should avoid walking in dark alleys, especially beautiful girls like you. You may not be so lucky next time!"

"I'll keep it in mind!"

Waverly waved her hand and followed Quill out the door.

Leaving the police station, Quill explained, "I don't know how I accidentally called your number, but I hung up. It was the police who called me back, so I knew that something had happened to you!"

It was why he came over!

"Thank you."

"The car is a little far away..."

"All right."

She had not expected herself to be so unlucky that day. After sending her father away, she wandered around the streets and encountered a robbery! The key was that she didn't have much of an impression of the whole process. Her memory of how she had handled the situation was a mess. When she came to her senses, she had entered the police station. As she regained her consciousness and remembered the thrilling scenes in her mind, Waverly felt the lingering fear as her legs went soft.

Both of them had initially been silent on the way. It wasn't until Waverly's body swayed that Quill reached out to hold her. "Are you scared? Do you want to sit for a while?"

As he raised his head, he indicated to the bench not far away.

"Sure!"

Right then, she was so frightened, to the point where her whole body trembled. Waverly was so exhausted that she immediately nodded at the suggestion.

Then the two moved a few steps to the side and sat on the bench on one side. The chair was wide, and as the two of them sat on each side, there was quite a distance between them. Similarly, they sat without making a sound or moving.

It was until the phone in Waverly's hand vibrated and its screen brightened up that the clear word "Wyatt" appeared on it...

Quill's eyes inadvertently fell on the phone. Waverly seemed to not see, feel, or hear it. She did not move for a long time, neither did she answer nor hang up the call. Her eyes were empty and dull.
