'He must be here to capture me.’
Jane lowered her head and said with a low and calm tone, "Noah, that's him."
Noah was speechless.
Two days ago, Jane, Noah, and his mother originally had already left the city in an illegal cab. However, after they had driven for a few hundred kilometers, the driver of the illegal cab had answered a call.
It was the driver's brother-in-law who called. "What are you doing? You should be in the city, right? I heard that a young man who called the shots is here from Kidon City. His last name is Poole, something Poole. H e is incredibly powerful, and he is searching the whole city right now. Nobody is allowed in or out of the city. My sister is about to give birth, so you can’t do longdistance trips nowadays anymore.”
That driver immediately stopped the car and refunded all their money to Noah and Jane. "I'm sorry, well... This money, I'm not going to earn this money anymore. I have to rush back. Otherwise, I will not be able to enter the city anymore, and my wife will have n o one to take care of her."
Jane was speechless.
The driver put the call just now on speaker mode, so Jane heard everything clearly.
However, she was in slight disbelief, and then she asked while trembling, "What... What did your relative say on the phone just now?"
The driver sighed and said, "Who knows what is going on there? A very young boss with huge power is coming from Kidon City and has had all the roads in the city blocked off..."
The driver made a guess himself and said, "I'm guessing that he is investigating someone. Somebody must have made a huge mess."
Upon those words, the driver then said to Jane and Noah, "I'm sorry. I'm sorry. There is hardly anybody here within a hundred-kilometer radius on this road. Why don't you just try and see if you can hitch a ride o n this road? As for the money, I won't take a single penny of it, okay?"
After saying that, the driver then got in the car and drove off without saying anything else.
Jane and Noah were speechless.
Noah looked at his frail mother, then looked at the pregnant Jane, who could not withstand the torment. The honest and straightforward man could not help but worry.
However, he was only worried for a moment. "We'll wait to hitch a ride here for two hours. If we can’t hitch any rides within two hours, I will carry you and my mom, and we’ll slowly walk toward the county. When we arrive in the county, we can then definitely
find a ride."
Noah had always been a responsible man, so it would only be natural that he would be the cornerstone for his mother and Jane at this moment.
Jane shook her head. "Noah, I don't need you to carry me. You just carry your mother, and I will walk and follow along.”
