Forced Into Marriage: My Husband’s Too Mean novel Chapter 108

The receptionist looked at Zayn's handsome face. However, before she could admire his features, she was shocked by the icy indifference coming from him.

"Has Lindsey Juhl left the office?" Zayn tapped on the counter, pulling the thoughts of the lady in front of him back to reality.

The reception snapped back to her senses and said, "Oh, Lindsey Juhl. She left a while ago, around 4:00 pm."

In the past, she did not pay too much attention to Lindsey, but since the last incident that caused a frenzy in the city, she could not help but notice Lindsey every day when she went to and from work. They were both women, but Lindsey’s life was much better off than hers.

When Zayn heard that Lindsey had left, the air around him dropped several degrees. He did not even glance at the receptionist before heading back to the car.

"Let’s go home."

Lindsey did not wait for him to pick her up, so maybe she was still mad at him.

Zayn thought so, but a strong feeling of dread surged in his heart.

This emotion came inexplicably, but it was impossible to ignore.

"Drive faster."

The driver did not dare to object and drove as fast as he could.

It only took less than half the usual time for Zayn to return home.

"Aunt Wendy, is the Young Madam home?" As soon as Zayn stepped into the house, he pulled Mrs. Wendy aside, who was busy cooking dinner at that time.

Mrs. Wendy was stunned and said, "No. Young Master, did you get into another fight with the Young Madam?"

Zayn loosened his grip. They had a quarrel, but they frequently argued before and Lindsey would always come home anyway. Moreover, he had never felt as uneasy as he was today.

More importantly, Grandpa was still here, so Lindsey would never spend the night outside lest the old man got worried.

"Where’s the Old Master?" Perhaps Lindsey went out with Grandpa.

"After you guys left, the Old Master went to Mr. Jenkins' house. The two of them went out to the countryside today and will only return tomorrow."

Zayn’s heart instantly sank.

He called Lindsey's phone again, but the automated message sounded, “The number you have dialed is currently out of service.”

Looking at the darkening sky outside, Zayn gave Quentin a call.

Half an hour later, Zayn stood at the hospital entrance with Quentin beside him whispering, "President, we found that the Young Madam last appeared at the hospital. We’re still investigating what happened during her visit to the hospital."

Jenny Lenig was in this hospital.

After listening to Quentin’s report, Zayn immediately stepped into the hospital building and ordered without looking back, "Check the surveillance cameras."

There were a dozen cars on standby around the hospital. Quentin pointed out a few people to follow Zayn as he liaised with hospital personnel.

Zayn went over to Jenny’s ward and did not see her. The bodyguard beside him went to ask the doctor and nurse and learned that Jenny had left the ward in the afternoon. He then reported the situation to Zayn truthfully.

"Ms. Lenig was following Mrs. Guggenheim and didn’t come back after. Our hospital is also looking for her." The nurse saw that the man in front of her was already furious and did not even dare to raise her head as she explained in a small voice.

The wrath of President Guggenheim was not something they could afford.

There were too many emotions in Zayn's eyes, and as if finally reaching a certain threshold, they suddenly turned into a deep calm lake. Somehow, others felt that there were strong currents underneath this calm surface.

The atmosphere in the hospital was almost suffocating and no one dared to speak. Suddenly, Zayn’s phone rang, breaking this dead silence.

Zayn picked it up and looked at it. It was a video sent by Quentin.

On the screen, Lindsey walked into the ward, then came out a moment later with Jenny following behind her.

The area had been searched inch by inch and no trace of Lindsey could be found. Instead, they only found Jenny’s phone and hair tie.

It was as if Lindsey had vanished into thin air.

"Find a way to restore the damaged cameras." Zayn stood up and ordered in a cold voice, "Transfer everyone over and keep searching!"

No one knew who Zayn meant to search for. Looking at the way Zayn was lost in thought when he saw Jenny's phone and hair tie, they thought the main focus of their search was Jenny Lenig.

Only Quentin noticed the momentary disappointment and chill in Zayn's eyes when there were no clues on Lindsey.

......

When Lindsey woke up, her surroundings were pitch black.

She felt dizzy and there was an unpleasant smell around her that made her want to vomit, but her mouth was gagged so tightly that it was tough to even make a sound.

This smell was like a trunk of a car that had not been cleaned in a long time.

Lindsey was tied up. She moved with difficulty and felt some tingling numbness. Luckily she still had sensations in her limbs, which meant that they were still intact.

The last thing she remembered was the small garden in the hospital where she left Jenny. She was ready to leave when someone suddenly covered her nose and mouth from behind. She passed out and woke up here.

Her heart was pounding with fear, but she forced herself to calm down.

She could not move her arms and legs freely, but she could still feel the enclosed space and thin air around her.

Perhaps she was in a trunk.

At that moment, the car suddenly came to a stop.
