Find Me In Your Labyrinth novel Chapter 1893

The man in the car raised an eyebrow in surprise as he saw Estelle emerge unscathed.

Back in the shop, Estelle grabbed a soda and sat under a sun umbrella, pulling out a freshly bought sandwich to munch on.

The girl, now dressed, walked over and took a seat across from Estelle. "Are you from C Country too?"

Estelle nodded, "Yeah."

"I'm Evelyn, from Azeroth City." The girl introduced herself with a curious tilt of her head. "What brings you here?"

Estelle brushed a crumb from the corner of her mouth with a casual gesture, her tone nonchalant, "I'm here for someone."

Evelyn's eyes lit up, "Me too. I'm looking for my boyfriend. Six months ago, his buddy said he could make some good cash over here. Then a month ago, he just vanished. So here I am, trying to find him. What about you?"

Estelle didn't answer, instead, she just said firmly, "You shouldn't have come here."

"But I'm really worried about my boyfriend."

Taking a sip of her soda, Estelle repeated, "Go back."

But the girl stubbornly shook her head, "I can't go back without finding him."

Estelle dropped the conversation, finished her soda, grabbed her bag, and walked out.

Evelyn followed, asking, "Where are you headed? Maybe we can stick together."

Shaking her head, Estelle replied, "We're not on the same path."

With that, Estelle pulled a switchblade from her bag and handed it to her, "Get out of here as soon as you can. Take care of yourself."

The girl took it, nodding gravely, "Thank you."

Estelle nodded back and continued on her way.

She had asked around; it was about fifty miles from the small town to the bustling heart of Citadel. She could rent a car nearby or hitch a ride.

The sun beat down hard. Estelle tipped the brim of her hat down and quickened her pace.

Suddenly, she heard a car approach from behind. Estelle stopped and turned to look.
