Freya didn’t know how to respond to her because she didn’t know Evan’s thoughts.
Sacha tugged at her cracked lips, “Even if he agrees, I’m afraid I won’t have the face to face him.”
Freya understood her feelings too well.
She hugged Sacha tightly, “I am a sinner…”
“No, perhaps this is my destined fate. Blame me, blame the first half of my life for being too happy, so the heavens couldn’t bear it and gave me such great suffering.”
Although Sacha was an orphan, she was adopted by kind-hearted people and lived a carefree life, enjoying the love and care of her biological parents. How many orphans could have such a life?
Her good luck probably ran out in the first half of her life.
She couldn’t help but let tears fall again, her voice hoarse, “Can you do me a favor?”
Freya felt her trembling body and her eyes stinging, “Tell me.”
“I want to leave.”
“Where do you want to go?”
Freya asked anxiously, “You shouldn’t stay alone at a time like this, it’s easy to overthink things.”
She grasped Luna’s shoulder urgently, “I can be with you all the time.”
Just as she finished speaking, her phone rang.
She frowned, feeling that the call was ill-timed.
Her eyebrows knitted tightly.
She quickly took it out and answered.
Neo Miller’s voice sounded over the phone. “It’s time for work, why haven’t you come yet?”
“You go ahead with your work, I’m not going today. Everyone has things to do, they can carry out the experiments we discussed yesterday.” Freya said.
Neo Miller asked with concern, “Oh, by the way, are you alright?”
“I’m fine, I’m going to hang up now.” Freya said.
There was a response from the other end, and she hung up and put the phone back in her pocket.
“Sorry to delay your work.” Sacha said.
Freya shook her head, “No delay, there’s nothing important.”
“I won’t be alone. My dad is old, my mom isn’t here anymore, he must be lonely. I want to be there for him.” Sacha said.
Freya looked at her, “I’ll ask Evan what he thinks…”
“No.” Sacha said, “I asked for your help, but I don’t want to see him.”
Freya fell silent.
Sacha looked out of the window, lost in thought for a long time, and hesitantly said, “I’m so tired. Being alive is so painful, but I can’t die now. I can’t die in front of my father, he would be devastated, and I don’t want him to suffer.”
She turned to Freya, “So, don’t worry, I won’t do anything reckless.”
“Help me book a plane ticket.”
Freya tried to persuade her, “You just had a miscarriage, your body needs to recover. Let me take care of you for a while…”
“No, I don’t want to stay in this city.” Sacha refused.
Freya lowered her gaze, “If you leave, it might be easier for you. I’ll help you.”
“Thank you,” she said.
“We don’t need to say thank you to each other.” Freya lowered her head in guilt, “It’s my fault, blame me. Actually, Elijah was right, I was being stubborn. If I hadn’t gone to work, those people wouldn’t have targeted me, and you wouldn’t have…”
“Let’s not talk about it.” Sacha didn’t want to hear about yesterday’s events at all.
She seemed to imagine scenes of those people bullying her one by one.
Her body suddenly shrank.
Her face paled.
…
Those people disappeared without a trace.
Evan couldn’t find any clues.
And now, he wasn’t in the right state of mind to calm down and think.
Elijah urged him to pull himself together, “Now, the most important thing is to find out who did it!”
“That group of people seems to be from outside Urbora City, we can’t find any leads.” Evan suddenly thought, “Could it be Ronan?”
“No, it couldn’t be.” Elijah said with certainty.
He had seen Ronan.
This time, Ronan had let go.
Clearly, he was scared and wanted to be spared.
And he was seriously injured, recovering in F country. His trusted subordinates were also injured, there was simply no one who could help him with this.
Evan clenched his fists, “Then who could it be?”
If he caught those people, he would personally tear them apart.
…
Inside an old residential house.
“If you want to stay alive and avoid getting caught, then stay put here. I have prepared enough food for all of you. Once the heat dies down, I will arrange for you to leave and give you a sum of money to start afresh.”
A man wearing a mask, dressed in a black hoodie with a hat on his head, spoke to the group of people behind him.
