Chapter 4731 Can Wake Up Later

Pablo carefully carried Lilly into the car, making sure she was secure. Wearing a helmet, he reassured.

I trust you. Master?”

He then turned to Lisa and advised, “Aunt Lisa, please cooperate and stay obedient

Josh initially intended to assist his mother in getting into the car and securing her, but Pablo intervened,

warning. If we continue to delay, we can’t guarantee that we’ll make it home within half an hour.

He got into the car quickly.

Master is here. We should be fine right?

With a resounding bang, the black motorcycle accelerated rapidly, leaving Arthur standing in place He

observed the two dogs and the eerie woman, who had vanished like a desiccated

corpse

The woman’s eyes remained fixed, gazing at the receding motorcycle, her body jerking up and down as

if attempting to catch up.

Arthur called out. “Stop…stop!”

Instantly. Lisa came to a halt, her neck twisting with a distinct click. She turned at a 90- degree angle,

locking her gaze onto Arthur.

A bead of cold sweat trickled down Arthur’s forehead, his realization sinking in.

This… this creature is undoubtedly not human!

At that moment, a piercing scream echoed from the desolate mountains.

Arthur couldn’t help but tremble, his voice quivering as he swallowed and urged, “Get in the car..

Please, get in the car. Do you understand?”

However, the woman remained motionless, showing no sign of response.

Arthur mustered his courage and added, “Miss Lilly instructed you to be obedient…”

The woman continued to stare at him.

Arthur fought back tears, speaking with a sense of restraint, “Do you want to see Mr. Josh? If you do,

please hurry and get on the bike,”

Arthur quickly patted the seat, urging, “Get on the motorcycle… Come on, right here, get on!”

One of the dogs leaped forward, while the other leaped backward, before turning to look at Arthur and

letting out two barks.

Lisa fixed her gaze on the motorcycle, seemingly comprehending its significance. She attempted to

jump onto the front of the motorcycle, hopping repeatedly in place but failed. to make it on board.

Arthur cursed silently.

Arthur gathered his courage and reluctantly opened the rear compartment, retrieving three

ropes.

“I’m sorry I have to do this!” he muttered under his breath.

Without waiting for Lisa to twist her neck at a ninety-degree angle to face him, he swiftly lifted her and

positioned her sideways on the back of the motorcycle, securing her with two

ropes.

Next, he entered the car and tethered the dog to himself using the remaining rope.

With a resounding boom, Arthur’s motorcycle finally surged forward, speeding away with a whoosh.

The taxi arrived at the designated location at the foot of the mountain, but there was no sign of anyone.

In the distance, they spotted a motorcycle speeding away, with a rigid figure, hair hanging down,

remaining motionless behind it.

The driver felt his eyelids twitching, as an eerie silence engulfed the surroundings. He turned. his head

and noticed a desolate hill nearby. With the wind howling, it felt as though a ghostly presence was

about to emerge.

Filled with fear, the driver swiftly sped away from the scene, pressing down hard on the accelerator. As

he fled, he dialed 911 in a panicked state, his voice trembling. “Um… I, I think I witnessed a murder. A

man was riding a motorcycle with two dogs, and there was a dead. body tied to the back seat… It’s a

corpse!”

When Pablo arrived home with the children, it was already 5:40 am.

“Go inside first, I’ll park the bike,” Pablo instructed. (1)

Drake, not wasting a moment, hurriedly entered through the dog flap. Joly carefully squeezed Lilly

through the small opening, making sure she was safe and then followed suit.

The three children found themselves back in the familiar backyard of the garden, walking swiftly, one

after the other.

As Lilly accidentally stumbled and let out a soft “ouch,” Josh swiftly covered her mouth. Sensing

danger, Drake took a step back, scooped up Lilly, and began running away.

Lilly attempted to speak but was hushed by Josh, who whispered, “Don’t talk for now. We’ll discuss

everything once we’re back and safe,”

Lilly murmured with relief, “Okay…”

Drake gently carried Lilly back to their room, utilizing his long legs to quickly return to hist room after

carefully placing her down.

Unbeknownst to the three children, Bettany, from her room on the second floor, discreetly observed

their return through the curtains. She witnessed Lilly’s fall and subsequent rescue by Drake.

A smile involuntarily formed at the corner of Bettany’s mouth, her eyes brimming with a mixture of

helplessness and affectionate fondness.

“What’s the rush… If time is tight, Grandma can catch a quick nap and wake up at half-past six,”

Bettany murmured to herself. She shook her head, her eyes showing signs of fatigue, revealing that

she hadn’t slept well all night.

Bettany rubbed her eyes drowsily, then proceeded to wash up. Once refreshed, she prepared to head

downstairs and prepare breakfast for the children.

How are they able to go to school after being up all night?

Bettany realized she needed to come up with a plausible excuse to keep Drake, Josh, and Lilly at

home instead of attending school. She also decided that they all deserved a chance to catch up on

their sleep during the day.

For breakfast, she resolved to prepare a more substantial meal, as she knew the children. must be

hungry. However, she also understood the importance of maintaining a sense of normalcy. She knew

that even if they had gone out in the middle of the night, it was crucial to establish a routine for their

future.

Bettany’s thoughts were scattered as she contemplated these matters, but just as she finished.

changing her clothes, she heard the alarm clock ring.

Hugh groaned and reluctantly opened his eyes.

Bettany said, “Take care of this fake corpse for me, will you?”

Hugh rose from the bed, let out a big yawn, and stretched his body.

“It’s too early, Bettany,” Hugh grumbled as he had just woken up, his brain not fully functioning yet. He

noticed Bettany’s tired and darkened face and asked, “Did you not sleep last night? Did you check your

phone? You’re not a young girl anymore, don’t stay up late like those kids!”

Before going to bed, he had seen Bettany engrossed in her phone interacting with her. followers,

leading him to believe she had stayed up late.

Bettany slapped his forehead and exclaimed, “As if you’re young, you sleep like a log!”

After her snort, Hugh left the room in a puzzled state.

Hugh muttered to himself, “What did I say wrong again?”

He found women to be inexplicable at times, their reactions often perplexing.

Rubbing his forehead out of habit, he thought about his daily routine of shaving, feeling refreshed and

satisfied.

He proceeded to brush his teeth and wash his face at a leisurely pace, beginning his morning. ritual of

savoring tea and reading the newspaper, akin to a seasoned veteran.

Once breakfast was prepared. Josh and Drake pretended to wake up, as they had a habit of rising

early, especially on school days, typically waking up between 6.30 a.m. and 7 in the morning. As a

result, they couldn’t go back to sleep.

Lilly, on the other hand, was different. Being younger, she did not possess the same level of self-

discipline as her older brothers. After returning and lying down on the bed, she quickly succumbed to

sleep and began snoring.

Bettany stepped out of the kitchen carrying breakfast, her gaze shifting upstairs as she asked, “Hasn’t

your sister woken up yet?”

Josh took a sip of soy milk, feeling hungry, and replied. “I don’t think so. She usually doesn’t get up until

around 7.30 a.m. In any case, if we have breakfast at home, we can still make it to school before 9,”

Drake chimed in, nonchalantly saying, “It doesn’t matter if girls stay up late,”

Bettany clarified, “I’m talking about Hannah,”

Josh’s expression froze momentarily, caught off guard by the revelation.

Drake stood up immediately, “I’ll get her,”

Josh realized that if their grandmother lost her temper, it would likely happen as soon as they took their

first bite of breakfast. To avoid facing her anger, Drake decided to call

Hannah downstairs, knowing that his brother had already endured the storm.

Feeling apprehensive, Josh remained quiet, considering how to handle the situation and ensure a

peaceful morning for everyone.

Wow, thank you for putting me in danger, my lovely brother!

As Bettany sat down, she casually mentioned, “By the way, today is the anniversary of your great-

uncle’s passing. Why don’t the two of you take the morning off and join me for a

memorial feast?”

Josh was puzzled.
