Chapter 887

Chapter 887 It was pitch black as the air got thinner.

“Sam, I... I can’t seem to breathe. Are we going to die?”

Lyla leaned weakly into Sam’s arms, her tiny body trembling.

She was afraid and wanted to cry, but the thin air made her weak, sleepy, and exhausted. She even lost the strength to cry.

Sam hugged her tightly. “Lyla, you can’t sleep. Why don’t you tell me a story about you and your mommy? Or why don’t you sing to me?’

Sam also became a little afraid as time went on. However, he dared not and could not be afraid for Lyla’s sake.

He had to be Lyla’s pillar of support.

Lyla was his godmother’s only child, and he must protect her.

“Sam, I’m so sleepy...”

Lyla’s eyelids felt heavy, and she could not stay awake. She would have fallen asleep if Sam had not flicked her forehead suddenly.

“Ah!” ’Lyla, don’t sleep. Godmother will be sad if anything happens to you.” “Godmother?”

Lyla woke up from the pain. “Sam, why will your Godmother be sad?” ‘Your mommy is my godmother.”

Lyla’s nose turned sore as she thought of her mommy. Her shoulders shook as she said tearfully, “Sam, I miss Mommy so much.

I haven’t seen Mommy in a long time.”

Then she suddenly asked in frustration after a long silence, “Sam, will I ever see Mommy again?”

Sam seemed to feel a pinch in his heart. It was a little painful.

He had no idea if they would ever see the light of day.

It was a sealed barrel, and there was so little air that the longer it went, the harder it was to breathe.

However, they probably had no chance to see the sun once they fell asleep.

Therefore, he was afraid to sleep, much less let Lyla sleep.

“Lyla, trust me. Godmother will come and save us. Well be alright.”

However, Lyla’s voice was gone once he finished speaking.

Scared and worried, Sam reached out and squeezed Lyla’s little hand.’ Lyla, don’t sleep. Talk to me. Talk to me about anything.

Tell me what you wanna do after seeing your mommy.”

Lyla woke up again in a daze when she heard the word “Mommy”.

“Mommy... I want to eat and sleep with Mommy... Mommy’s cooking is delicious, and... I want to know who my father is, but Mommy told me I don’t have a father... Sam, can anyone not have a dad?” ‘No, everyone has a dad. You have one too, Lyla.’

“Mommy says my father is dead, but I think she’s lying to me.” “Lyla.” Sam stopped her as his voice deepened. “If we get out, I’ll take you to your father, okay?” ‘Really?’

Lyla finally came back to life a little, and her breathing calmed down gradually.

“Lyla, go on. Hurry and tell me what’s interesting abroad. I want to experience it someday.”

Lyla started talking about life abroad, especially life with Olivia.

Therefore, the two children spoke to each other, struggling to hold on in the dark iron barrel.

The adults outside panicked.

Olivia had just fainted when she woke up suddenly.

She was looking for Lyla, so she could not faint.

John was surprised by her sudden sobriety while Ken explained like nothing happened, “She’s too scared to faint. Liv probably has the strongest willpower among us, or she wouldn’t have made it through these last few years.”

John felt a pang in his heart.

‘What has she been through all these years?’

He had never heard her mention it.

However, he knew it must be hard.

Otherwise, how could the once arrogant heiress turn out this way?

Suddenly, Time Bar’s door was pushed open, and a figure stumbled in...
