Jean had developed a habit of eating supper due to her pregnancy. She would be hungry if she didn’t have any food now.
She luststed that we accompany her, but for some reason, I felt somasy and had no appetite. In the end, Natalie accompanied her to look for food nearby.
I decided to head home. As soon as I got into my car, I sensed something was wrong. I got out and checked, only to find that my car tire had been deliberately punctured and was deflating
Not far away, two hooligans were eyeing me susplelously. They looked like they were sizing me up with ill intentions.

When this crossed my mind, I couldn’t help but give Benjamin a call. He was still up.
“Benjamin, you mentioned before that after Ella and Jonah died. Where did Ashley go? Tell me again.” I got straight to the point
“I don’t know either. She entrusted me to handle her parents‘ funeral, but I didn’t agree.
“I just went to the hospital to have a look. Someone in the hospital told me that a woman took her away.” Benjamin asked me in doubt, “vory, why are you asking about this suddenly?
I felt depressed as I watched the departing Lincoln. Could the woman who took Ashley away be the same woman from earlier? What was their relationship?
“It’s nothing. Just curious suddenly.” I didn’t feel like explaining further and ended the call quickly.
I couldn’t help but continue to speculate. I was lost in thought and didn’t notice anyone approaching me until it was too late. The two hooligans were already less than six feet
