Still Wanna Escape After Stealing My Heart? novel Chapter 987

Aino sighed. "I'll show you now, then." "No! Just pass it to your Aunt Yvonne, Aunt Ruth won't look at it for now." Ruth grinned mischievously. She had been scared to obligation and so she wanted Yvonne to experience the same.

'Hehe! I'm sorry, Yvonne, but it's your fault for not coming here to see Sabrina!' she thought.

Aino ceased hurrying towards her gifts at Ruth's words. She didn't want to show Ruth her gift to Yvonne to begin with, because she wanted to keep it mysterious for the surprise.

After handing out all the gifts, it was time for Sabrina, Aino and Sebastian to head home. Kingston drove them home and when the three sat in the car, they were all overwhelmed with the feeling of returning home after a lifetime. Familiar streets, familiar roads, even the street lights felt like home. Sabrina gazed out the window.

The car went towards their residential area and before they reached the gates, Sabrina accidentally saw those long-lost eyes, only that this time, she saw it distinctly. It was, indeed, a woman wearing clothes that were as ragged as they could possibly be. Her hair was all tangled up into a huge ball and her clothes were filthy. The woman remained still when Sabrina spotted her, and she saw the changes in that woman's

eyes: concern and surprise, followed by a sudden relief, as though she was reassured by what she had seen.

"Stop the car! Assistant Yates, stop the car!" Sabrina shouted frantically as she clawed at the door.

Kingston stepped on the brake immediately and Sabrina flung the door open. She ran towards the other side of the road frantically. However, there was n o one there by the time she reached the other side. There was a small alley that led to a marketplace. Sabrina stood in the alley and looked around, but the poorly dressed figure was nowhere to be found.

Just then, an old woman with a basket in her arm patted her on her shoulder. "Young lady, what are you looking for?"

Sabrina broke down in tears. "Ma'am, did...did you see a woman in ragged clothes standing there just now, just a minute ago? Did you see her?"
