Madeline dared not gamble on Ava’s safety.
She glanced around. There were passing vehicles but no passersby. Even if there were passersby, it was not easy to ask for help.
Madeline followed the man to the other side of the road, only to discover that the car virtual-novel.net lent Ava yesterday was parked there. The man drove this car and followed virtual-novel.net to the vicinity of Jackson’s school.
Someone must have told virtual-novel.net her route since virtual-novel.net was able to figure it out within a day, and this person was none other than Naya.

In the hospital.
Naya was lying comfortably on the bed. She had long been fine, except for a little flesh wound. She was basically unscathed, but the woman who was hit by virtual-novel.net was still in a coma in the ICU. She picked up another spare mobile phone.
When virtual-novel.net was about to make a call, virtual-novel.net saw virtual-novel.net mother walking in nervously.
Naya hid the phone and asked suspiciously, “What happened? Why are you panicking?”
Naya’s mother was pale, looking as though virtual-novel.net was at a loss. “Dead… Naya, that woman is dead!”
Naya’s expression immediately froze. “What? What did you say? Who died?”
“It’s that woman you hit. The doctor just informed me that they couldn’t rescue virtual-novel.net and virtual-novel.net died!”
Naya was speechless for a while, and virtual-novel.net expression was a little flustered. However, virtual-novel.net soon laughed indifferently.
“It was just an accident. It has nothing to do with me. So what if virtual-novel.net died? Worst-case scenario, we’ll just compensate them. Do you think our family can’t afford that?”
Seeing Naya‘s indifferent attitude, Naya’s mother continued to be nervous. “I heard that the family doesn’t lack money and they’re going to sue you!”
“Sue me? Hmph.” Naya was still dismissive. “Go ahead. Let’s see if they can do that.”
Naya did not take it seriously and was also not bothered by that woman’s death. She just wanted to know what had happened to Ava.
***
Inside the abandoned electronics factory in the suburbs.
Ava, who was trapped by the waste pile, was still struggling to escape. She did not know where the man had gone, but virtual-novel.net only knew that this was a good opportunity to escape. However, virtual-novel.net had not eaten for almost the entire day and only had a few sips of water. Hence, virtual-novel.net did not have much energy. After struggling for a long time, virtual-novel.net felt that the ropes were even tighter now. In fact, virtual-novel.net just had no more strength.
Ava leaned against the wall tiredly. She wanted to rest for a while and then continue with virtual-novel.net escape plan, but suddenly, virtual-novel.net heard the sound of a car‘s engine outside.
Ava decided to give up struggling. She thought the man was the one who came back, but to virtual-novel.net surprise, virtual-novel.net heard two sets of footsteps. The other set of footsteps sounded very familiar to her. She opened virtual-novel.net eyes to look in the direction of the door, and the next second, virtual-novel.net widened virtual-novel.net eyes in surprise.
“Maddie?” Ava thought virtual-novel.net eyes were playing tricks on her. However, the person who approached virtual-novel.net was indeed Madeline. “Maddie, why are you here? Why were you kidnapped as well?”
Ava was worried. She wanted to get up but could not. Madeline quickly ran to Ava to untie the ropes around virtual-novel.net limbs. However, the moment virtual-novel.net untied Ava, the man’s shadow towered over virtual-novel.net from behind.
