How the Ice King Became my Doting Billionaire Husband



The phone suddenly went dead with a series of beeps.

Morwenna felt as though her soul had left her body; she couldn't comprehend a single word Orson was saying. Just a few days ago, everything was perfectly fine when she left home, so how could things have gone so wrong so quickly? Her mouth moved, trying to form words, but no sound emerged.

After the call dropped, she tried dialing back, but it was futile. The call wouldn't go through. What on earth had happened? Morwenna turned and rushed out, but after just a few steps, she collided with a table, hitting her leg.

The loud bang made Lorna wince in sympathy. Yet Morwenna acted as if she didn't feel the pain at all, limping out of the courier depot and running towards the school gates. Lorna, shocked and worried, hurried after her. "Morwenna, what's going on? Where are you heading at this hour?"

"I... I need to go home," Morwenna finally managed to speak, though her voice was hoarse.

"You know Rosefrost University doesn't allow students to leave at night without special permission. Did something happen at home? Tell me, and maybe I can help."

"It's Norbert Hetfield, something terrible has happened! I have to get home, Lorna, I really do," Morwenna said, tears streaming down her face.

Lorna was taken aback. Morwenna was crying. For someone as strong as Morwenna to cry, something truly serious must have happened to Norbert. Lorna's expression turned serious. "Alright, I'll find a way to get you out of here."

Rosefrost University had strict rules, but in special circumstances, exceptions could be made. Just like how Stuart and Greta Irons managed to get in. But Lorna was just a student and not influential enough on her own.

She enlisted the help of a couple of friends, and together, they managed to swipe the keys to the main gate. Special situations called for special actions, and they could handle the paperwork later. If Morwenna was this desperate, it had to be something major.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Thirty minutes later, Morwenna and Lorna were outside the campus. Lorna left too because she was worried about Morwenna, who seemed completely lost and might run into trouble late at night.

Once they were out, Morwenna tried

to catch a cab. But this road was notorious for being difficult to get taxi, especially at night, due to Rosefrost University's strict policies on student movements, unless it was during scheduled breaks.

Then, the roar of an engine, and a motorcycle skidded to a halt right in front of Morwenna. Lorna handed her the only helmet they had. "Put this on; I'll take you to the Hetfield family."

With gratitude, Morwenna looked at Lorna, put on the helmet, and climbed onto the bike. "Hold on tight!" Morwenna clutched the back of Lorna's jacket.

The motorcycle took off like a bullet,

not even giving Morwenna the

chance to ask Lorna to hurry. Lorna was already pushing the limits of speed. Morwenna held tightly Lorna, her vision blurred by tears, unable to see the road ahead

through the helmet.

Her mind was a whirlwind of noise and confusion. Lorna, aware of Morwenna's distress, tried to comfort her while driving.

"Morwenna, you owe me for this ride. I don't let just anyone on my precious bike, and I even gave you my helmet."

“I swear, the school's rules are over the top. We're university students, not elementary kids. Why all the restrictions?"

"I'll find a way to switch Dahlia to another dorm, so we don't have to deal with her constant sour face."

The wind whipped around them, and without her helmet, Lorna's words were nearly swallowed by the gusts. But despite everything Lorna said, Morwenna remained silent, showing no reaction.

With a resigned sigh, Lorna shouted over the noise, "Norbert will be alright, don't worry. We'll get you home quickly!"
