"Why are you back again?" Yolanda asked.
"I've finished settling the issue with the family business, so I came back for you."
Sharon smiled gleefully as she stood before Yolanda. Her tone was half joking and half grumbling. "Why do you look unhappy to see me?"
Yolanda was initially planning to lure the shadows away on her own. That was why she walked out of the old town, only to bump into Sharon.
However, it was slightly more convenient since Sharon had a car, but Yolanda didn't know if Sharon had the mental capacity to handle these sudden and scary events.
Sharon had been dragged into several incidents with her before that, so she should be slightly prepared.
Yolanda muttered with a low voice, "We should head back now. Also, we might be in a little trouble."
"Huh? What trouble?" Sharon was confused.
"If you go with me now, you might face some robbers, but I can make sure you're safe. Of course, you can also drive home first right now and—"
"What are you saying? Of course, I'll go with you." Sharon interrupted Yolanda immediately.
"If there are robbers, it'll be dangerous for you! How could I just leave you alone?"
"You're not afraid of danger?" Yolanda was a little moved. It wasn't the first time when Sharon would choose to face danger with her instead of leaving first.
"Of course, I'm scared, but you said you'll make sure I'm safe, right?" Sharon smiled. She reached out to hold Yolanda's hand as she walked forward.
"I trust you!"
Yolanda was slightly taken aback. Then, she returned a smile with a gentleness that even she wasn't aware of.
