Chapter 812
Ken went closer to Olivia and sniffed the air. Immediately, he frowned.
The smell was a little pungent, and it was like a mixture of a lot of smells. It smelled so weird that it caused Olivia
and Ken to instinctively cover their noses.
'TH go down and take a look."
Olivia yanked Ken and opened the flashlight on her phone. "I'll go with you."
The two of them walked down the stairs very carefully. As they got closer to the basement, the smell got stronger.
The mixture of odd smells seemed to have a strong stench of blood within it.
Olivia had a foreboding feeling, and her hand tugged tightly on Ken’s arm. Her heart rate increased rapidly as well.
Please, let nothing have happened to her...
The door of the basement had been locked by a huge lock, and since Ken had no key with him, he was ready to call
someone to bring some tools down.
"Wait."
Olivia took a bobby pin down from her hair and asked, "Do you know how to open locks with this?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtKen was stunned for a while before taking the bobby pin from Olivia. "I’ll try."
Although he looked inexperienced, he still managed to open the lock in the end.
Ken was about to push the door and enter when Olivia tugged on his arm once more.
"I don't think there's anyone else inside. Can you hold the light? I’ll go in."
"No. What if there's a trap?”
'There won't be."
With Olivia's familiarity with Dorothy, she knew that Dorothy would definitely not spend her time and effort on any
trap since she was a simple- minded person.
If she indeed threw Kate down here, she would be sure to make sure Kate died alone and hopeless.
As for that weird stench...
Olivia had her own guesses. Ken may be Kate's brother, but he was still a male, so it was only appropriate that he
steer clear of this.
Olivia took a deep breath and pushed the door open anxiously.
As the door creaked open, Olivia could see that there was someone lying in that dark, musty, smelly basement.
Since the light on her cellphone was very dim, she did not know if the person that was lying there was dead or alive.
However, based on the clothes the person had on them, Olivia could tell that the person laying there was a woman.
She still had to go up to the person to make sure if it was Kate or not.
"Kate?"
Olivia called out to her, but she heard no response. That sent a chill down her spine.
She was about to carefully help that person up when Ken pulled her back before she could reach the person on the
ground. "I’ll go."
"No!"
Olivia stopped Ken in his tracks once more and took a long stride, coming to the side of the person on the ground.
She squatted down and checked for breathing with her trembling hands.
After making sure that the person was still breathing, she was quick to carry that person up from the ground. "Kate
Lucas? Kate, wake up!"
She swept the hair on Kate's forehead away and finally saw the face that she was not quite familiar with.
"Kate?"
Olivia called out to Kate several times, but there was no response. She could feel that Kate's body was so bone-chi I
lingly cold that it was like she was holding a dead body.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Ken, get the car. We’ll send her to the hospital."
Ken looked at Kate, who was ashen and unmoving on the ground, and his body trembled. He was about to come
forward to carry Kate.
"I’ll carry her out."
"No!
"You go get the car!"
"Liv, what are you up to? Why do you keep getting in my way, while you..."
"Go get the car!"
Olivia almost roared, and that scared Ken. He could only helplessly make calls to get someone else to send the car
in.
"Leave the phone here. You can go out for now."
Ken did not know what was going on, but he did what he was told and walked out the door.
After Ken left, Olivia took out her hands, which had been below the body. Even under dimmed light, she was able to
see her hands stained with yellow, murky liquid.
And that... had contributed to a part of the unbearable, pungent stench.
