Adorable Kids Asking for Bear Hug novel Chapter 1097

Thalia didn't know where the young man had sprung from, but she knew that he was reminding her.

Watching the young man running toward her and seeing that the attacker behind her showed no signs of stopping, Thalia suddenly stepped forward, grabbing the young man's arm and swiftly flinging him aside to dodge the attack.

Then, she kicked the person attacking from behind, sending him flying.

After that person had landed, Thalia finally turned to look aside. Upon seeing the newcomer, she narrowed her eyes. “It's you?”

“Watch out, behind you!” the young man warned.

Without turning her head, Thalia reached for her handgun and aimed it behind her. The person fell to the ground immediately.

The young man looked on, his eyes widening. “You—”

“Weren't you supposed to wait for me at the hotel?” Thalia asked him, looking at him.

“I had just arrived at the hotel when I saw you running out, so I followed you...” He was about to say something else when he saw Thalia raise a gun at him.

The young man was terrified. “I mean no—”

Before he could finish speaking, a gunshot suddenly rang out beside his ear.

He was so terrified that his body stiffened. As he was at a loss for what to do, he suddenly noticed something beneath his feet.

When he cast his gaze downward, he saw a person had fallen right at his feet.

He lifted his gaze to Thalia, who rolled her eyes at him and said, “Look at you, you almost peed your pants.”

Just as the young man was about to say something, the sound of a police siren echoed from outside.

Thalia knitted her brows. She didn't want to cause any trouble, let alone attract the attention of the local police. With Anthony by her side, it was best to keep a low profile.

With these thoughts in mind, she turned and walked away.

However, after taking a few steps, Thalia seemed to remember something. She turned to look at the young man still standing in place behind her and said, “Are you planning to stay here and wait to be caught as the murderer?”

“I...”

Seeing that the young man was unable to move even a step, Thalia approached him, grabbed him, and pulled him away.

Thalia casually tossed the gun into the flower bushes, then blended into the crowd, acting as if nothing had happened at all.

The young man walking beside her still had a somewhat pale complexion, his movements notably stiff as he walked.

Thalia said in a low voice, “If you don't want to be caught as a murderer, then act normal. Otherwise, no one can protect you.”

“I-I'll do my best!”

Looking at the police officer approaching head-on, Thalia grabbed his collar and abruptly veered off into another street.

Thalia had undergone specialized training. Escaping was not an issue at all for her. If it weren't for the young man, they probably wouldn't even catch a glimpse of her retreating figure.

And so, they meandered and wound their way around.

Thalia didn't return to the hotel right away and waited until nightfall when it was safe enough to do so.

The moment the door swung open, Thalia promptly ushered the young man into the room.

After taking a glance at the situation outside, he then proceeded to go in.

The door closed, and at that moment, the person in the room immediately ran out.

“Thalia.” Anthony looked at her, approached her, and examined her from head to toe. “Are you okay? You're not hurt, are you?”

Observing his worried expression, Thalia smiled. “Of course I'm okay. I told you, those people can't hurt me!”

“Then why did it take you so long to come back?” Anthony asked.

“I have to wait until it's safe enough to come back. Besides, those people have been lingering outside the hotel. If I come back, you'll be in danger.”

“Then should we change our hotel?”

“It doesn't matter where we go,” Thalia stated plainly, moving toward the window. She drew the curtains shut, then turned back to look at him. “As it stands now, the most dangerous place is the safest place. They've been here before, so they probably won't come again for now.”
