236 Face to Face

Lina arrived back at the compound late that afternoon. With Julie still at her piano lesson, Lina looked forward to a couple of hours alone and some quiet relaxing time.

While she was happy to have bought everything on her list, she did feel a little worn out, and the strange gift from a stranger at the store had admittedly spooked her.

Mo Boqin drove the car directly up to the building entrance and parked beside a silver Tesla.

"Would you like me to take you upstairs Mrs.Zheng?" he asked looking slightly concerned about her.

Lina had been rubbing her hard stomach the whole ride home and even Mo Boqin could tell that the pregnant lady looked to be in some pain.

"No that's fine. I'll just lay down for a while and I'll be good."

Lina got out of the car and waddled her way to the front entrance.

She spotted the old doorman sitting drinking a cup of tea.
