“Miss Rayne, how may I assist you?”
“Get to Central Square immediately. Find Fiona and take her back home.” Lois
relationship with Leon had recently improved, and she wasn't about to Let any
mishap jeopardize that.
From the earlier incident, she sensed that Leon hadn't entirely forgotten Fiona;
rather, Fiona’s misery had evoked his compassion.
Meanwhile, Millie emerged from an alleyway and stepped into a bookstore.
She purchased a book on modern jewelry design, and as she was leaving, a
sudden screech of brakes filled the air, followed by a thud. A woman had been
struck by a car.
Shaken, Millie looked over and felt a chill run through her. It was Fiona who had
been hit while crossing the road.
The driver, equally startled, stumbled out of the car, his body quaking. “Are you
okay?” he stammered.
Fiona coughed, her hand covering her mouth, and quickly scrambled to gather
the money scattered around her. Glancing back, she saw two men eyeing her.
Acting quickly, she pushed past a woman who was about to enter a nearby taxi
and jumped in herself, urging the driver to speed off.
As the taxi sped away, the onlookers remained at the scene, murmuring among
themselves.
“Is she all right? I saw the car hit her.” Their voices were tinged with concern and
disbelief.
“Yes, I saw it too. Why didn’t she demand compensation from the driver but just
ran away? Is something amiss with her?”
The driver responsible for the accident scratched the back of his head, clearly
puzzled.
Upon arriving at the scene where Fiona was struck, Lois took Leon's hand and
reassured him.
“Don’t worry. She's fine. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to run away.”
Leon's brow furrowed as he spotted blood on the ground.
Lois caught the eye of two men standing across the street, giving them a
knowing wink. They seemed to understand and promptly left.

A gut feeling told Millie that something had gone terribly wrong with Fiona, so she
threw caution to the wind, crossed the road, and ran off in pursuit.
Glancing around with alert eyes, Millie noticed two unfamiliar men departing
together among the crowd. Was Fiona frightened of those men?
