Sherilyn instinctively reached out to steady the woman. However, the impact was too strong, causing both of them to fall to the ground. Sherilyn even served as a cushion, taking the brunt of the impact.

"I'm so sorry..." the woman stammered as she tried to scramble to her feet. Sherilyn waved off the apology, but before she could say anything, Galen had returned. He lifted the woman as easily as if she were a feather, his focus immediately on Sherilyn. "Sis, are you okay?"

"I'm fine..." Sherilyn replied, shaking her head as she got up. Her palm was scraped, stinging sharply, with tiny beads of blood appearing. Galen's anger flared instantly as he glared at the woman. "Watch where you're going! You ran right into her!"

His sister had a condition; she couldn't afford to be injured.

"Ah!" The woman, frightened, raised her arms to protect her head, trembling as she muttered, "I'm so sorry..."

"What good does sorry do? If my sister was—"

"Let it go!" Sherilyn interjected, seeing the woman shaking in fear. "It's just a small scrape..."

The crowd around them was swelling, people pushing closer.

"Let me go..." the woman suddenly struggled, "Let me go!"

"You hurt someone and think you can just leave?" Galen refused to let go.

Sherilyn frowned, realizing those people were likely after the woman. "Galen, let her go!"

"Sis?"

"Quickly!" The pursuers could discover them at any moment.

"Oh..." Reluctantly, Galen released her. The woman paused, looked up at Sherilyn with a grateful smile, "Thank you..."

Then she turned and darted into the crowd.

"Where did she go?"
