At that moment, she heard footsteps behind her, helther too close nor too far, but it inexplicably made
her uneasy.
There were shops around, and surveillance cameras, but she still felt anxious.
The previous two encounters had made her vigilant. She quickened her pace, and the footsteps behind her also sped up.
Aveline didn’t dare to look back!
She saw a convenience store and ran straight towards it!
Once inside, she turned around and saw that there was indeed a man following her, but he didn’t enter
the store when she did.
Aveline’s heart was racing!
She didn’t dare to go back outside, so she sat by the window and took out her phone to make a call.
But who should she call?
Lucas had been terrifying earlier and clearly didn’t want to see her again. If she called him, would he even pick up?
But who else could she call besides Lucas?
For the first time, Aveline felt utterly helpless.
In such a big city, it seemed she had no one to tum to for help.
She exhaled slowly, and when she looked up, she saw the man still lingering outside!
It seemed he was waiting for her to leave!
Aveline’s palms were clammy with cold sweat!
She couldn’t worry about anything else and immediately dialed Lucas‘ number.
“Ring… ring… ring…”
The busy tone kept ringing.
Aveline glanced outside from time to time, and seeing the man’s figure made her quickly avert her gaze in fear.
“Hello?”
Fortunately, the call was answered.
Aveline said, “Lucas, where are you? Can you come and get me? Someone is following me!”
Lucas replied, “Send me your location.”
“Okay.”

Aveline felt a sudden sense of relief.
If he was willing to come, then everything would be alright!
She sent him her location and anxiously waited.
But as the minutes ticked by, an hour had passed in no time.
Lucas still hadn’t shown up!
What was going on?
They weren’t that far apart!
“Miss, we’re closing soon.”
At that moment, the convenience store owner approached her and said.
This convenience store wasn’t open for 24 hours.
Aveline replied, “Okay, I’ll make a call and then leave.”
She dialed Lucas‘ number again.
It was still the busy tone, and then his voice came through, “What is it?”
Aveline’s heart sank, “Lucas, weren’t you coming to get me?”
There was a moment of silence on the other end, and then a familiar voice spoke up. “Lucas, I knew you cared about me…”
Aveline’s breath caught in her throat!
It was
phia’s voice!
Lucas said, “I’m busy. I’ve sent someone to pick you up.”
With that, he hung up the phone!
Aveline stared at her phone in a daze, her heart once again filled with a sharp, spreading pain,
