Sydney looked at his tiny back, and the smile in her eyes grew deeper.
Soon, Davey came out after washing his hands and held them out in front of Sydney so that she could see that he was clean.
Sydney praised him for doing a good job, and he put down his hand happily.
After leaving Skylight, she drove him back to Shallow Bay.
When it was time to cook, she found that there was no more ketchup at home. She planned to go downstairs to buy a bottle from the neighborhood supermarket.
Unwrapping her apron, she walked out of the kitchen and said to Davey, who was watching TV on the living room sofa," Davey, I'm going down to buy some ketchup. You stay at home and open the door for me later, okay?"
"Okay, Aunty," Davey replied.
"Good boy." Sydney went to the porch.
Davey followed to see her off.
Sydney changed into her shoes, thought of something, and reminded him, "Also, don't just open the door directly if you hear the doorbell ring, okay? Check the video intercom first and see if it's someone you know."
Davey would be alone at home. She was worried that someone would come when she went down to buy the ketchup.
"Don't worry, Aunty. I know." Davey stood on the steps of the foyer and waved at Sydney.
Sydney stroked his little head, opened the door, and went out.
By the time she finished buying the ketchup, the sky was darker than when she first came out.
She carried the bag back to the apartment building. There were very few people on the road, so it was very quiet.
That was because at this time of the day, the residents of the community were mostly eating dinner at home. It was not time to go out on a walk yet.
Sydney walked for a while when she suddenly felt someone following her.
She could not help but stop and look back.
However, there was nothing behind her.
She frowned.
Was she mistaken?
She did not think much about it and turned back around to continue walking. She would arrive at the apartment building where she lived after passing this building in front of her.
However, after a few steps, the feeling that she was being followed came back again.
This time, Sydney knew that she was not mistaken. There was someone following her. Although it was soft, she heard the sound of footsteps.
Her body stiffened, and her hands and legs went cold.
However, she did not dare to stop and sped up instead. Unexpectedly, the footsteps behind her also sped up.
She heard the footsteps behind her become heavier and more hurried.
Sydney did not know who the person following her was and what purpose the person had. The only thing she knew was that it was not good.
The sound of footsteps made her feel alarmed and frightened.
She could feel her scalp tingling.
Goosebumps raised across her skin, and her palms carrying the bag broke out into cold sweat. Her calves felt weak and shaking.
She did not want to remain outside anymore. All she wanted was to get into her apartment quickly so she could be safe and hide from the person behind her.
At that thought, she broke out into a sprint and ran toward her apartment building.
However, the person behind her was still chasing her. Sydney could hear that the person was getting closer and closer.
She could not outrun the person!
Realizing this, Sydney completely panicked and shouted for help, "Help, somebody! Is there anyone...?"
Before she could finish her sentence, a wooden club heavily crashed on her head.
Bam!
