Chapter 1227

Lucas walked up to her and looked at her face and her wrists. “He's not locking you up anymore?” Nes

“You said he will let you out, so I kept waiting. I was worried something had happened to you, so I came over.” Lucas’ gaze darkened.

“He's no longer chaining me up. That's probably already being lenient to me!” Anne mocked herself. "Oh, yes, Chloe is already back at the Royal Mansion. I have nothing to worry about anymore. It's only a matter of time now. He can’t be locking me up forever. However, you shouldn't come over. Anthony returned as soon as you left the last time. I don’t know if he was suspecting something...” He got suspicious when he did not even see anything. Anthony was too sharp.

“Don’t worry. He didn't see me,” said Lucas. There was a pause before he said, “After you've gotten out, I want to take you away.”

Anne shook her head like she was frightened. “No. Anthony will never let me go. He will capture me again at all costs. Your safety, your parents, and also the school....Mr. Newman, don't say such a thing anymore. I won't leave with you.”

She had long known how powerful Anthony was.

That was not unusually frightening.

“I'll first send you away. As long as he doesn't have any evidence, he won't do anything to me. After some time, he will become indifferent,” as Lucas said that, he went up to hold her hand. “That's all I can give you.”

Anne hesitated.

Time hung heavy when she was with Anthony, and his touch terrified her even more,

However, she still has her children.

If she truly were to escape, she would have to abandon her children.

The children ran out and went missing for the sake of looking for their mother. What else could happen in the future?

"You're the children’s mother. They certainly will also wish that you're able to live well. A marriage that doesn't benefit the children shouldn't exist. Otherwise, it will only lead them astray as they grow up.” As an educator, Lucas knew very well how to

develop a good familial environment for children.

How could Anne not know this principle?

She believed Anthony was a temperamental person, so this would not be the last time he locked her up...

“No matter where you are in the future, you'll always be the best mother in the children’s hearts, and they will never forget you,” Lucas urged her, “I'm afraid you won't be able to hold on if you stay by Anthony's side.”

“Would not be able to hold on” were the few words that struck Anne's weakest part deep down. Anthony was too strong. She was extremely weak in front of him. Could she truly survive being broken by him in all sorts of ways in the remaining years of her life?

She was faced with two choices. She could either stay to be with the children and be tortured by Anthony to the point of insanity or leave the children and spend the rest of her life feeling extremely guilty.

"Anne, just listen to me this time...” Before Lucas finished his words, the door could be heard unlocking, which stunned him.

Anne was even more frightened out of her wit's end. It could not be Kathryn at this time, which meant that it was Anthony!

Without waiting for her to urge him, Lucas already went to the balcony.

Lucas, who was on the other side of the glass, was standing on the balcony without moving at all. He was frozen as if he had been carved into the glass.

Anne did not understand why Lucas was standing there without moving. When the sound of the door opening could be heard, she ran toward the balcony as she wanted to push Lucas and make him leave quickly.

However, when she saw a few bodyguards standing on the balcony next door, her body instantly stiffened and her face turned as white as a sheet.

The bodyguards were Anthony's men, and they were keeping the steel plate that was connecting the two railings and putting it aside.

Anne was so frightened that her blood was frozen, her heart was pounding out of her chest, and her mind went blank.
