A Difficult Decision (13)

"I can't go with you two anymore. I'll stall them… You two, run!" Dahai stopped and turned around as sweat dripped heavily from his face.

"Big stupid one. You can't stay. You've already been exposed so they'll kill you!" Pudding shook her head and tried to stop him.

"Don't worry. I'm strong. They're no match for me. Run, Pudding. Head south and don't look back!" 

Time was running out fast. Dahai decided that it would be best if he stayed back and stopped the people chasing after them.

"Big stupid one…" Pudding teared up.

"Hurry. Don't waste time. You have to find your daddy. Don't forget to thank me with a lot of money… I need it for my mother's operation." Dahai still remembered Pudding's promise from before.

This touched Pudding because he treated her with respect. He took her words seriously.

Pudding held onto Little Bean's hand and they ran south.

"Pudding, I can't run anymore…" Little Bean couldn't catch her breath.
