James had been paying attention to the movements of the two men. Seeing them suddenly snatch Kara’s bag, he was surprised.
‘Why did they rob her bag?’ wondered he.
Without much time to think, James caught up. The thief seemed to have done it on purpose and kept running straight, hoping Kara could see him and catch up with him.
James quickened his steps, avoided cameras, and caught up with the robber at one corner. James nimbly injected the medicine into his body and took Kara’s bag.
He opened her bag and saw that there were only a few rolls of A4 paper and a few pens. The small pocket in her bag was filled with candies that he had specially prepared for her.
The amount of sugar contained in these candies was very low, but the taste was quite strong. He did not like to eat candies, but she had a sweet tooth.
He licked his lower lip, pressed the buttons on the edge of his glasses a couple of times, took a few pictures of the man, and sent them to Nolan.
His glasses were specially made. What he saw would appear on Nolan’s computer too.
James turned around to look for Kara, but he did not find her and frowned hard.
“Nolan, where is my wife?”
“She’s four hundred meters away from you. She should be in a car. Wait, Corey is on his way.”
James clenched the bag and took out his phone to call Corey.
Corey drove to meet James while avoiding cameras on the way. He got off the car and waved at James somewhere where cameras couldn’t reach.
After getting in the car, James saw Kara reclining in the back seat. Her breath became light, and he felt a little flustered.
“What happened to her?”
“She ran too fast, and the lack of oxygen caused her to fall ill again.” Corey took the medicine to treat her.
What Corey meant was that the virus in her body needed enough oxygen. Once she was too short of oxygen, the virus would also have a sense of crisis and thus plunder more oxygen to survive.
This was also why Kara, who exercised a lot, fainted from lack of oxygen after running for a short while.
James put down her schoolbag and picked her up. His fingertips gently touched her pale little face, very distressed.
“How long will it take for her to wake up?”
Corey handed a cup of water to James, asking him to feed Kara the medicine, and then he began to give her acupuncture treatment.
James stuffed the pill into her mouth and fed her some water, but she didn’t swallow the pill.
James felt slightly helpless and could only throw the pill into his mouth and chew it. Then, he drank some water and lowered his head to kiss her lips, and forcefully fed her the medicine.
“These viruses are very overbearing. Once their survival space is threatened, they will speed up the plundering of space to survive.”
Corey did not stop as he spoke. A needle was injected, and a red dot appeared. He immediately pulled the needle out again and put it in a plastic bag. It was the object he wanted to experiment on.
James knew what he meant. He hoped that after Kara finished the training, he could take her away.
“Is there no other way?” James probed.
Corey looked up at him, his eyes flashing, and he did not speak.
After waiting for a while and confirming that it was about time, he pulled out all the needles and inserted them all into the cotton ball soaked in alcohol.
“James, I will try my best to treat her,” Corey promised.
The corners of James’s mouth twitched stiffly. He lowered his head to look at Kara in his arms with a longing gaze.
As James didn’t know much about medicine, he couldn’t evaluate Kara’s specific physical condition.
Moreover, James felt that Corey hid something from him, so he didn’t believe him one hundred percent.
But Kara’s health was important, and he could only do as Corey said first.
James held her more tightly and lowered his head to kiss her lips.
‘Kara, be good. When you fully recover, I will come back and find you.
Understand?’ wondered he.
When Kara woke up again, she found that she was in a strange place. She turned her eyes and became conscious gradually.
When she realized that she was in a clinic, she quickly got up, and a nurse walked over and helped her up to prevent her from falling.
“Miss Kara, are you alright?”
Kara was somewhat on guard and looked at the smiling nurse in confusion as she was speaking English.
“Why am I here? By the way, can you speak Chinese?”
The nurse nodded and smiled, “You suddenly fainted. It was a passer-by who sent you here. Your medical fees have not been paid yet. You have to pay the medical fees before you can leave.”
‘A passer-by?’ Kara was puzzled.
She looked down at the bag in her hand. Wasn’t her bag stolen?
“Excuse me, what does that passerby look like?”
The nurse thought about it and shook her head helplessly. At that time, the nurse who received them was off work, so she was not clear about it.
Kara bit her lips, thinking that it must be someone who helped her get her schoolbag back and sent her to the clinic after seeing her fainted.
She went to reception to pay the bill and left the clinic carrying her schoolbag. One would usually miss his family if he fell sick alone in a foreign country.
Kara sighed, checked the time, and opened her eyes wide in surprise.
‘Damn it! I will be late for the training class.’ wondered she.
She quickly quickened her steps, but she didn’t know where she was now. So she took out her mobile phone and navigated. She listened to the mechanical voice and felt completely confused.
Kara didn’t want to admit it, but she had to.
She was on the street and got lost.
Just as Donald had said, the buildings in B City were very complicated. There wasn’t a clear line between new development areas and the old part of the city. And there were many winding alleys.
In addition, tall buildings looked very similar. Kara looked up at the dim sky and wanted to cry.
James followed behind her. Seeing her moving around aimlessly, he felt anxious for her.
As long as she walked a hundred meters to the left, she would be able to walk out of the alley and reach the destination after walking two to three hundred meters, but she wasted ten minutes.
He put his long fingers on his thin lips and smiled helplessly. Sometimes, when this little fool made stupid mistakes, he felt helpless too.
Kara was still moving around. When she stood still, she found that the surrounding buildings were somewhat familiar, and only then did she realize that she had returned to the road she had walked.
She was so upset that she wanted to smash her phone. It seemed that the phone didn’t help her at all.
“Miss, where are you going? Tell me, maybe I can help you.”
Kara turned her head and saw a little girl around ten years old. She had golden hair and beautiful blue eyes and was staring at Kara seriously.
“You can speak Chinese!”
“Yes, my father is Chinese, and my mother is from Country R, so I can speak several languages. Miss, where are you going?” Asked the little girl again.
Kara thought about it and told her the place she was going.
“Miss, it’s very near. My dad works there. I’ll take you there.” The little girl took Kara’s hand and headed toward the training site.
Kara was grateful, and it only took her five minutes to reach the destination. She quickly took out two candies from her schoolbag and gave them to the girl.
“Thank you, girl. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have found this place so quickly.”
“It’s okay. I play around here and often lead the way for others.”
The little girl looked at the candies in Kara’s hand and took them without directly.
Kara nodded. As she was pressed for time, she didn’t talk too much with the girl and hurried upstairs.
The little girl watched as Kara went upstairs before she turned around and ran to a man, handing him the candies.
“Sir, your girlfriend is gorgeous, but she is so childish. As a grownup, she still eats candies. I don’t eat candies.”
Words failed James.
