Chapter 690
When the adjacent cell opened, the girl curled up in the corner visibly trembled, not daring to look toward the door, keeping her head buried.
Lionel walked over, crouching before her, gently patting her slender arm.
“It’s me.”
Hearing his familiar voice, the girl raised her head in surprise.
“How did you get into my cell?”
When she looked up, Lionel’s gaze met with a pair of clear eyes.
The girl’s face was dirty, making it hard to distinguish her features, and she seemed severely malnourished as if she had endured prolonged mistreatment.
However, Lionel felt that with such beautiful eyes, she would not be unattractive once she gained a bit more weight in the future.
He ruffled her hair, his voice soft and gentle as he said, “I’ve been released, and I’m here to take you away.”
“Really?”
Lionel nodded, taking hold of her hand. “Yes, let’s go.”
In the dungeon corridor, the guard led the way, with Lionel supporting the girl walking behind. Once out of the cell, the girl stared at Lionel’s face, making him somewhat uncomfortable.
“Is there something on my face?”
The girl shook her head, earnestly and shyly exclaiming, “You’re really
handsome!”
Lionel chuckled. Compared to Elliot and Nathaniel, his appearance could, at most, be considered pleasant to the eyes.
“That’s because you haven’t seen a more handsome man yet.”
“No. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. You’re the most handsome in my eyes!”
Lionel had never heard someone praise him like this before, and although it was a bit awkward, he also found it sweet.
He changed the subject. “What’s your name? What do your parents call you? Once we’re back in Froania, I’ll take you to your parents.”
The girl did not answer but asked, “What’s your name?”

“I’m Lionel.”
“Then I’ll call myself Lucy from now on!”
Lionel was left speechless.
Why was she so nonchalant?
Getting a new name made the girl very happy.
“Lionel, these days, I’ve actually figured it out. My dad was probably prompted by my stepmother to sell me for money. I don’t want a father like that anymore.”
“If you disown him, what will you do in the future?”
The girl tightened her grip on his arm, her sparkling, watery eyes staring at him expectantly.
“I want to follow you! I’m easy to take care of! I won’t spend your money recklessly. Just give me a bun for every meal!”
Her reply stunned Lionel.
His life had been filled with training, missions, and Elliot…
He had never taken care of a girl before, and he simply could not imagine doing it.
Thinking about this, he tried to scare her, saying, “Remember the horror story I told you a couple of days ago? I’m the kind of psychopath who kills without mercy! Following me won’t end well for you! I eat people!”
He expected the girl to be scared, but she looked at him with admiration.
“Wow! Lionel, you must be really skilled. You’re so amazing!”
Lionel was at a loss for words.
Looking at herself, the girl frowned in distress. “I’m too skinny. I must not taste good. Lionel, fatten me up before you eat me, okay?”
Was she implying something different?
Having seen Elliot and Sheena’s affectionate moments too often, he felt like he had lost his innocence!
The girl looked at him, not saying anything, and considering he was in the dungeon for theft, she thought he must be extremely poor.
“Actually, if you can’t afford to take care of me, I can earn money to support you! But I may not earn much, so you will have to be thrifty!”
Lionel stayed quiet.
