Chapter: 1797
"Shelia, thank you for what you did," Rosa said with gratitude.
Rachel shook her head. “It's not that I saved you, but they weren't actually trying to kill you, which allowed me to pull you back in time."
They?
Rosa was so frightened that she remained confused and disoriented.
However, Rachel's words brought her back to her senses. She turned her gaze towards the direction of the car. "Are you saying that the car..."
Rosa didn't finish her sentence but instead looked at Rachel, who nodded in agreement.
"When I had just walked out of the mall, the car was about to turn right, but suddenly the driver changed their mind. They spotted you, veered in your direction, and accelerated. You two are on the side of the road. It should have been a safe spot, but considering the driver's actions, if they had intended to hit you, you wouldn't have been able to avoid it."
A regular car wouldn't veer towards the curb, even if it changed direction momentarily.
"Miss Moran, have you had any recent conflicts with someone?" Rachel kindly reminded her. "Although they might not have intended serious harm this time, it's difficult to guarantee they won't try again next time. You should be more cautious in the coming days."
Rosa clenched her lips tightly, which turned pale. She regarded Rachel with a furrowed brow, her mind filled with a list of potential suspects. She responded tersely, “Thank you for the warning, Shelia. I'll be careful."
Rachel's gaze lingered on the direction the car had driven away, her eyes darkened.
If what she saw was true, it appeared that there was someone sitting in the car's back seat. The car's window was tinted with a dark film, obscuring the person's face, leaving Rachel unable to identify them.
However, her gut feeling strongly suggested that it was that person who wanted to kill Rosa. To be exact, they wanted to scare her.
"What's your next destination?" Rachel asked.
Before Rosa respond, her phone buzzed two times. It was a message from Elliott inquiring about her whereabouts.
Rosa almost lost Maya in the mall and narrowly avoided a car accident. She intended to send Maya to the kindergarten, but now she felt uneasy about it. She had a strong sense that she needed to keep a close eye on Maya herself.
“NeoSky Cinema." That was where Elliott's promotional event was happening. It was a ten-minute drive from here.
"Well, let's go there together. I'll also headed to NeoSky Cinema,"
Rachel said, showing her the ride-hailing app on the screen of her mobile phone. "The car will be here soon. We can wait across the street."
"Well... Thank you." Subconsciously, Rosa wanted to decline, but decided to accept when she noticed the green lights had come on again.
The car Libby was in raced forward and eventually came to a stop on the side of the road.
"Is your sister okay? Did I hit them?" The driver's hands shook as he tightly held the steering wheel.
Rolling her eyes at the teary-eyed driver, Libby snorted. “Yeah, right. You hit them."
The driver turned paler, and his voice broke as he pleaded, "No, no.
