“Alright. Take care,” Yulia reminded her.
Natalie smiled and walked to the elevator with her wallet.
At the elevator, she pressed the open door button.
The elevator arrived very quickly. Just as she was about to step in, Yulia suddenly ran up to her. “Wait a minute.”
“What’s going on?” Natalie stepped back and turned towards her.
Yulia handed her a sheet of notepaper. “Help me buy these things on your way back.”
“Let me take a look.” Natalie took a look at the note and nodded. “Alright, I’ll be on my way now.”
With that, she stepped out again.
However, just as she stepped into the elevator, it suddenly shook violently.
“Nat!” Yulia’s pupils constricted and she subconsciously pulled Natalie back.
When she pulled her to the corridor, the elevator shaft hurled downwards uncontrollably while the door remained open.
Natalie and Yulia stared at the elevator with their eyes wide open as it hurtled to the ground floor with a deafening crash.
That crash made tremors run through their bodies and rendered their faces pale.
“Mom…” Natalie hugged Yulia tight and her voice trembled uncontrollably.
Yulia was in no good shape herself, but she still patted Natalie’s back to comfort her, “It’s alright, Baby Girl, we’re fine…”
Natalie stared listlessly at the doors which were still open, and that cable connecting the shaft. Her limbs turned icy cold. “Mom, this was definitely not an accident!”
If not for her mother suddenly calling out for her to buy other things, she could have been squashed flat right now.
“I know, this is definitely not an accident. Someone is out to get you!” Yulia’s eyes reddened as she clenched her teeth.
The elevator was completely fine last night, so how could it be malfunctioning this early in the morning? And to this extent? Clearly, this was not possible.
“Call the police!” Yulia released Natalie and immediately called the police.
