Chapter 12

"What's the rush? Let me ask the one named Curry first!" the tattooed man barked at the others.

"I heard someone was looking for me?"

Am I so desperate that I'm hallucinating?

I seem to have heard Ethan Lowder's voice.

"B-boss, it seems like it's Ethan Lowder! How does he know we're here? The call hasn't even gone through." someone shouted.

It's really him!

I collapsed to the ground and saw a tall, steady figure striding towards me.

My tears fell even harder.

"Didn't I tell you to stay home and wait for me to come back? You're too disobedient." Ethan Lowder squatted down, gently touching my face.

Suddenly, I remembered the earlier conversation between the tattooed man and his subordinates. They said they wanted to kill Ethan and me!

"Get out of here! They want to hurt you!" I hurriedly shouted at him.

"Don't worry, it'll be over soon." Ethan Lowder checked me over briefly and, seeing I was okay, helped me up.
