Xia Liyou turned in alarm, just as Ziqian had said, there really was a figure in the darker spot in the distance.
A wave of unease surged inside her. As far as she knew, recent news hadn't reported any homicidal maniacs on the loose.
Was the person behind them just a coincidence?
Regardless of coincidence or not, it's better to be cautious.
Xia Liyou whispered in Ziqian's ear, "Don't look back and don't speak."
She quickened her steps, striding straight ahead.
However, her weariness caught up with her after a short while due to the high heels she was wearing and the burden of carrying Ziqian.
Noticing her labored breathing, Ziqian frowned with concern. "Mommy, let me down. I can walk on my own."
"No problem, we're nearly there, mommy isn't tired," Xia Liyou reassured Ziqian, but inside she was crying out. These twenty minutes were incredibly long.
Taking into account the time, they had only left the villa ten minutes ago, yet she was already out of breath.
