He hoped that there would be news before dawn.
Lilac Serval's heart finally settled as she sat restlessly in her hotel room, unable to sleep at all.
She felt not a hint of sleepiness.
She always hoped to help out somehow.
Now, having heard this news, she could finally rest easy.
Her beautiful eyes sparkled, resembling the lustrous sheen on leaves washed by rain.
"Lilac, when are you returning to Lonton?" Sylvan Cheney asked suddenly after taking a drag of his cigarette.
"I bought a ticket for the day after tomorrow, but if you have any other instructions, I can stay in Landon longer."
Sylvan seemed thoughtful.
"Mr. Cheney, is there a problem?" Lilac asked, surprised.
She was always unrestricted under Sylvan's command and moved freely.
Sylvan never cared about her schedule.
Lilac waited for Sylvan's response.
But there was silence on the other end, no sound for a long time.
Lilac did not dare hang up the phone; she quietly waited for Sylvan's reply.
