He shook his head gently to pull himself out of the daze. Looking at the little girl, he said softly, "Erin, are you from Mist City? Do you know where your home is? I'll take you home."
"I don't want to go back!" She pouted with a disappointed expression on her face.
"What's wrong? Did you argue with your family?" He asked.
She nodded, but remained silent.
Seeing this, he continued to ask, "Do you know their phone number? I'll call them and ask them to pick you up."
She shook her head and muttered, "I don't want to go back!"
"But..." He frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and said, "Then I will send you to the police station!"
She immediately grabbed his clothes and almost cried.
Seeing her tearful expression, he quickly comforted her, "Okay, I won’t take you to the police station. Just follow me!”
"Thank you, sir!" A smile appeared on her face.
Fade was left with no choice but to walk out with Erin.
He hadn't bought the medicine, so he took out his phone and was ready to continue looking for the location of the pharmacy.
Seeing this, she asked, "Sir, where are you looking for?"
He replied, "I want to find a pharmacy, a traditional Chinese medicine pharmacy. Do you know where it is?"
"Traditional Chinese medicine pharmacy!" She frowned slightly and thought for a few seconds. She seemed hesitant, as if she wanted to say something but didn’t.
Seeing this, he said, "You don't know! Let's ask for directions!"
When she heard this, she seemed to have figured out something. She took a deep breath, tugged at the corner of his clothes, and said, "I know where the pharmacy is!"
"Really?" He asked in surprise.
She responded, "I'll take you there!"
"Alright!”
Fade walked forward with her.
After walking for about ten minutes, Erin stopped in front of an old wooden building.
He looked at the sign stating "Benevolence Hall" hanging above the building and couldn't help but reveal a hint of surprise. "It's really here!"
"Sir, is this the place you are looking for?" She asked.
He nodded and gently caressed her head. He smiled and said, "That's right. Thank you, Erin!"
She smiled and said, "You don't have to thank me. You saved me so I should help you."
He smiled and said, "I'm going to buy medicine. I'll take you home after I buy the medicine!"
She was about to say something, but at this moment, a car horn sounded. A few black Lincoln cars stopped at the entrance of the pharmacy. A group of bodyguards in black sunglasses quickly got out of the cars and instantly guarded the surroundings.
Then, a middle-aged woman in her forties got out of the car in a hurry and rushed to Erin.
"Oh, my little princess, why did you come out alone? Don't you know how dangerous it is outside? I was so worried."
When Erin saw this group of people, she couldn't help but lower her head and she said timidly, "Aunt Mary, I'm sorry. I know I was wrong."
"My little princess, come back with me. Everyone in the family is so worried." Mary picked Erin up and was about to leave.
However, Erin looked at Fade reluctantly and waved her hand, saying, "Sir, goodbye!"
