On the third day of training, Donald wanted to send Kara to the training field, but he was rejected by her.
Donald also had his things to do. He couldn’t just center on her, not to mention that she was living in his apartment. It was already enough to trouble him.
After Kara had breakfast, she discussed this with Donald. She also swore that she could take the subway to attend the training class.
The training venue was in the downtown city, and it was very easy to find. Kara knew that her sense of direction was bad, but it did not stop her from learning to improve her sense of direction.
“Kara, you don’t understand B City. The traffic in this city is complicated. If I don’t take you there, I will be worried.” Donald patiently discussed with her.
“It’s okay, Donald. I already checked the route to take last night.” Kara smiled as she promised.
When Donald saw how persistent she was, he did not say anything else. If he was too tough, she would feel averse to him.
After Kara left the apartment, he immediately told James about it.
After James heard it, he was very depressed and wanted to throw a tantrum.
However, after listening to Donald’s explanation, he gritted his teeth and lost his temper. Kara looked obedient, but nobody could change her if she made up her mind to do something.
“Donald, it’s no wonder you can’t keep your woman. You deserved to be single for so many years!”
“James, that’s enough. I took care of your woman for you. But you attacked me verbally. You…”
James did not have the patience to listen to his nonsense and directly hung up the phone.
Donald ground his teeth speechlessly.
James said goodbye to Nolan, got changed, and was about to go out.
“Mr. James, you are out alone. It’s better to find two bodyguards to accompany you.” Nolan was worried and reminded well-intended.
“No. Keep an eye on her position and keep in touch with me anytime.” He gave the order and left the door.
Words failed Nolan.
The corner of Nolan’s eyes twitched. This was not the first time that Nolan had experienced James’s willfulness. He was not surprised.
However, he couldn’t help but complain in his heart, ‘James could do anything for Kara.’
James drove to find Kara. He saw that Kara had already gotten on the bus. He placed his long fingers on his lips and deliberated for a few seconds. Then, he decisively got out of the car and got on the bus at the next stop.
As it was the morning peak, there were many passengers on the bus. Kara had occupied a seat, but after seeing an old lady get on the bus, she got up and gave up the seat voluntarily.
As it was too crowded on the bus, she could not stand steadily.
When the bus stopped, she instinctively rushed forward due to inertia.
James pursed his thin lips and grabbed the back of one seat tightly. Afraid that he would be recognized by her, he used his back to stop her from moving forward.
When she regained her balance, he immediately took a step back and distanced himself from her.
After Kara stood firm, startled, she held her bag and patted her chest in fear.
She turned to look at the person who had just helped her and found a tall man with his back facing her.
He was wearing a navy-blue jacket and dark blue jeans and a pair of white sports shoes. Because he was tall and stood straight, he stood out among the crowd.
‘For someone like him, even if he looked ordinary, he would be the focus of the crowd thanks to his height,’ thought Kara.
Suddenly, the driver jammed on the brakes again. This time, it was much faster. The passengers on the bus did not expect it and rushed forward.
James frowned. Worried that someone might bump into her, he immediately turned around and extended his arms to protect her.
Kara smelled a faint lavender scent and turned around in confusion, only to see the tall man turn around and stand behind her.
She quickly stood up straight and thanked him softly, then grabbed the iron railing.
The bus door opened, and two men got on the bus. Their eyes swept around the passengers. When they found Kara, they looked at each other and approached her.
When James heard Nolan’s notification through his earpiece, he looked back expressionlessly. The corners of his mouth twitched as he looked down at Kara.
She grabbed the railing with her tiny hands. Perhaps because she was nervous, she grabbed her schoolbag tightly.
James suddenly remembered that she had never taken such a crowded bus. Among so many people, she should be a little scared and uneasy.
He moved another step toward her back and completely blocked her. Then he also grabbed the iron railing.
His big hand was above, and her little hand was below.
James stared at her, his hand unconsciously sliding down. When his hand got close to her hand, he stopped unwillingly.
Sensing that the two men were behind him, James clenched the medicine in his pocket.
Using a gun here would disturb other passengers, and firing a bullet would leave clues. So under inconvenient circumstances, he and Nolan would use potions.
Kara still did not know the danger was approaching. She glanced at her phone, especially worried that she would be late.
Along the way, someone got off the bus, leaving an empty seat. And Kara sat on it.
Unconsciously, she glanced at the man beside her. She didn’t know if it was her illusion, but she felt that this man was very familiar.
Kara found James in him.
She quickly shook her head. James was busy every day. Although she knew that he was in B City, how could he, a man who had pushed her away, take the bus with her?
Kara smiled bitterly in her heart. It must be that she missed him too much, and that was why she had an illusion.
James lowered his head to look at her changing expressions. It was unknown what she was thinking. With her brows furrowed and mouth pouted, she was obviously a little depressed.
Noticing her gaze, he turned around indifferently, leaving his back facing her.
Finally, the bus arrived at the station, and Kara quickly got off the bus.
James saw the two men get off the bus following Kara. He raised his glasses and also followed them.
To avoid being found by her, he walked to the other side of the road.
As she took one step, he took one step, with his gaze on her all the way.
Kara quickened her steps, wondering who the teacher would be today.
Suddenly, she was pulled by someone behind her. She blinked and only realized a few seconds later that someone was brazenly snatching her bag.
She stomped her feet in frustration. There were only a few pens and a few candies in her broken school bag. What was there to steal?
“Thief, catch the thief!”
Kara finally reacted and shouted at the top of her lungs, quickly chasing after him.
“The man in black, catch him!”
Hearing her shout, the patrols on the side of the road quickly came over to ask about what happened. Kara looked at the man who was running farther and farther away, but was still in sight, and quickly told them the fact.
The patrols nodded and chased after him.
Kara ran for a while and panted for breath. She thought it was a physical reaction after strenuous exercise and did not care.
However, after running for a little longer, she found that her limbs were sore and her brain was short of oxygen. She opened her mouth and breathed in vain.
She was panicking. ‘Could it be I relapse?’ wondered she.
She pressed against the wall and slowly slid down, and her vision became blurry.
She thought, ‘James, where are you?’
“Miss, Miss, are you alright?”
A strange voice sounded, and Kara tried to open her eyes, but she was too weak to succeed.
Kara felt that her eyelids were heavy, so she bit her lips, trying to make herself stay awake in vain.
If she died in the next second, her biggest regret would be that she did not see James for the last time.
She wanted to tell him that she wasn’t angry with him and that she just missed him.
