“Since we left the village. I thought it was a coincidence, but they are still behind us even though I took a longer route,” revealed Boris.
“Could it be Ronald’s family?” I asked though it wasn’t likely. Ronald wasn’t someone who’d do this.
Boris shook his head. “I don’t think so.”
After a pause, he sought my approval. “Should I lose them?”
Shaking my head, I replied, “No need. Let’s just take the normal route home and see how long they will follow us.”
Amy remained silent on the way home. I texted Cameron to ask about Summer’s condition. Her reply stated that Summer was fine after undergoing chemotherapy. As Summer was then sent to the disinfection chamber, Cameron could no longer take care of her.
I wanted to call Ashton, but I was feeling nauseous from the long car ride. Hence, I gave up on the thought.
Finally, we arrived in A City at midnight. Boris brought a sleeping Amy to her bed and left some instructions before leaving.
I walked him to the door, where he glanced around carefully and reminded me. “If anything happens tonight, give me a call at once.”
Clearly, he was referring to the van which tailed us back then. I nodded and watched as he left. After making sure all the doors were locked, I went to Amy’s room and made sure she was still sound asleep.
Back in my room, I was about to call Ashton when a call came in. It was from Ashton. When I answered the call, his voice rang out. “What happened? Why were you unreachable the whole day?”
“Boris and I went to Amy’s hometown. The line was bad there, and I’ve just reached home. What about you?” I explained as I made my way to the balcony.
“Mm, it’s a little tricky. Nothing serious, though. Joseph is in A City. You can contact him if any problem arises. I’ll be back as soon as I’m done.”
I glanced out of the window before closing it. “I’ve adopted Amy legally. Ashton, I still want Summer to get that surgery in the open.”
