Chapter 57 Who Was He Running To
As they passed by the ice cream shop, Melanie playfully asked William to buy her a cone.
Cindy chimed in, saying she was thirsty, too. William casually agreed and let them choose for themselves.
He spotted a crispy cone and vaguely remembered that Emelle liked it, so he picked one up.
However, when he turned around, he saw Emelie drinking water from her thermos.
He was speechless seeing that.
Emelie didn't particularly dislike ice cream.
However, she experienced severe menstrual pain last time and suspected it was caused by the
miscarriage.
From then onward, she decided to take good care of herself by avoiding cold foods and drinks and opting
instead for warm water in her daily routine.
William expressionlessly put the cone back in the freezer.
Suddenly, Melanie let out a little cry as the melting cone dirtied her fingers. She wiped them a few times with a tissue but still felt uncomfortable and sticky.
Is there a restroom here?" she asked.
"Yes, it's over there, around the corner." The mall manager pointed out.
Melanie threw the cone away. "Will, I'm going to wash my hands. Wait for me, okay?"
William was busy discussing with a brand representative, so he might or might not have heard her, but he
nodded anyway.
After that, Melanie went off on her own.
Meanwhile, Emelie wandered around and inadvertently overheard two sales assistants chatting near the beauty counter.
"Do you know? There's an exhibitionist near our mall. I saw him from a distance last night after work. I
was so scared."
"I know. Someone reported it to the police, but they couldn't find him. I wonder where he's hiding. You
don't think he's in our mall, do you?"
Hearing that, Emelie had a bad feeling.

She looked around and saw that William was still talking to the brand representative, Cindy her ice cream, and Melanie hadn't returned yet.
She glanced at her watch. It had been ten minutes. At once, she headed toward the restroom.
As soon as she got there, she heard Melanie scream at the top of her lungs.
Chapter 57 Who Was He Running To
Emelle ran over and saw Melanie, who was pale with fear.
Behind her, there was an exposed man.
The man was obviously mentally disturbed. He was chasing after Melanie with a creepy smile on his face.
Melanie was terrified. With the slippery tiles, she stumbled and fell in panic. This gave the exhibitionist a chance to pounce on her.
Immediately, she screamed.
Emelie quickly grabbed a fire extinguisher from the wall and smashed it against the back of the
exhibitionist's head.
When he fell to the ground, she pulled Melanie up. "Get up! Run!"
The two of them ran as fast as they could.
The commotion had already attracted the attention of other people in the mall. Security guards were also
rushing over. Just then, Emelie saw William in the crowd.

Any woman would be petrified if they encountered a mentally disturbed exhibitionist.
Emelie suddenly wanted to be by his side, so she ran toward him with all her
might.
In the last few steps, her eyes involuntarily reddened, and she cried out, "Will-"
Yet Melanie beat her to it.

And with that, the panic that had gripped Emelie faded away like a receding tide.
She regained her composure, and the moisture in her eyes dried up.
Like the surface of the sea untouched by the wind, not a ripple remained in her
heart.
She was overthinking it.
William wasn't running toward her. He was running toward Melanie.
