Madam Escaped Again Sir novel Chapter 365

Watching his tiny figure from the back, Sonia smiled even wider, and soon, he returned from the washroom. He even showed his hands to her so she could check if he had cleaned it. After she complimented him, saying that he had cleaned it well, only then did he drop his hands happily.

They left Paradigm Co. and she drove home to Bayside Residence together with him. In the midst of making dinner, she realized that she had run out of salt in the kitchen and wanted to buy some from the convenience store in the neighborhood.

Taking off her apron, she walked out of the kitchen and spoke to Douglas, who was watching TV on the couch in the living room. “Douglas, I'm going downstairs to buy some salt. Be good and stay at home, then open the door for me when I'm back later, okay?” “Sure, Aunt Sonia,” he replied, spinning his head around.

“Good boy.” She walked toward the door, and he followed to send her out.

After putting on shoes, she recalled something and reminded Douglas, “Also, regardless if I’m the person who presses the doorbell later, you shouldn’t open the door straight away. Use the intercom camera to check the person outside the door. Do you get it?”

What if someone else comes while I’m out? I am worried, having a child alone at home.

“Don’t worry, Aunt Sonia. I know what to do.” Standing on the step at the entrance, he waved goodbye to Sonia, who stroked his small head before heading out.

After she bought the salt, the sky had turned even darker compared to the time when she left the apartment. With the salt in her hand, she walked toward her apartment building on the street, which seemed especially quiet without many people around. This was basically dinner time for the people in the neighborhood and not the time for evening walks yet.

Sonia walked for a while, and suddenly, she felt someone following her. Stopping in her tracks, she turned around and looked behind, but she didn’t see anyone or anything.

With a frown, she wondered, Was it just my illusion? Without pondering over it further, she turned her head around and continued walking forward. I’ll reach my apartment building after passing by this building.

However, barely a few steps later, she once again felt that someone was stalking her. This time, she was sure that it wasn’t her own illusion anymore; somebody was really following her because she heard the sounds of footsteps. Although it was light, she had really heard it.

Her body turned stiff as her hands and feet started to turn cold, but she dared not stop and quickened her pace instead. Unexpectedly, the footsteps behind her sped up as well because she could hear the sounds of the footsteps becoming

heavy and hurried.

She didn’t know who was following her nor what motive this person had; all she knew was that it couldn’t be anything good. In addition, the sounds of those footsteps sent panic and fear through her.

Her scalp was tingling numb, and she had goosebumps all over her body; besides, her hand that was holding the salt had turned clammy. Even her legs were shaking and turning into jelly.

She didn’t want to stay outside anymore; she just wanted to get back to her apartment as quickly as possible. Only then could she escape from the person behind her and feel safe.

At the thought of this, her pace broke into a sprint, and she dashed toward her apartment building. Despite that, the person behind gave chase, and she could hear the distance drawing closer between them.

I can’t out-run this person! she realized and panicked. “Help! Somebody—”

Before she could finish, a thick stick raised behind her and hit her hard on her head.

Wham!

A crisp sound echoed, and Sonia felt a sharp pain on the back of her head. Then, she rolled her eyes and passed out on the spot.
