Claire looks back and murmurs, “It’s as if they know our escape route.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
This reminds Ashley. She is shocked and takes out her mobile phone from her pocket. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Wring her eyebrows, Ashley throws her mobile phone out of the window without hesitation and curses “The sly fox” . <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire is totally confused. She feels that her IQ is not enough. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Although she doesn’t understand the meaning of Ashley’s move, the car behind is slowly thrown away and the two people could relax for a while. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The car drive all the way to the end of the path to a county below city B. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Stop the car at the side of the road, Ashley jumps down and says to Claire, “Get off, let’s walk.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The county is no better than the city. After dark, there is little light outside and no cars passing by. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It’s dark around, which makes Claire a little afraid. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Near Ashley, Claire asks, “Ashley, where are we going next?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I have a friend here. Find him first and hide from him.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Will it cause trouble for your friends?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Don’t worry, he is not afraid of trouble.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Listen to Ashley. Claire doesn’t speak any more. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
They run to a hotel in the west of the county and Ashley walks in with Claire. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Hey, doesn’t you say you are going to find your friend? Why come to the hotel? I don’t have my ID card. We can’t get in.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“He doesn’t need your ID card. The boss here is my friend. We can live as we like.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Ashley’s words let Claire breathe. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
… <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Raising her hand and ringing the doorbell. A Bruce opens the door. He is stunned at the moment when he sees Ashley. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Why are you here?!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
In the eyes of Bruce, the existence of Ashley is like a myth and there is no need for him to help. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Ashley quickly closes the door and looks out of the window, says, “Of course, the situation is critical, or I will not come here.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“And who is she?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The Bruce’s sight falls on Claire’s body, with surprise on his face. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“A friend.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Friend?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“That’s right.” Ashley whispers in Bruce’s ear, making Bruce looks at Claire, eyes full of exploration. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Both of them behaves strangely. Claire could not help being on guard. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Yes… Any questions?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“No, it’s just that he doesn’t see Black. He is worried.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Ashley mentions black again, which makes Claire’s face dark. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Bruce finds a room, settles down Claire and Ashley and sends them to have a midnight snack. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire and Ashley have no appetite. They don’t want to eat at all. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But they also know what they have to face. They don’t have enough to eat means they have no strength to escape. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
As a result, Claire and Ashley chew mechanically, without knowing what to eat. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
At dawn, they lie down and take a nap. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When Claire is in a daze, she heard a sound. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Looking up at the past, she can see that Ashley has been dressed and packed. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire wakes up, grabs her clothes and asks, “Why don’t you wake me up when you are about to leave?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I want you to sleep a little longer before I’m in a hurry.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I’m not going to sleep. I want to wake up.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
In order to keep her mind clear, Claire washes her face with cold water. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Cold water across the skin caused a shudder. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The mirror in the bathroom is very small. Claire looks at herself and feels that everything is so unreal, like a dream. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Ah, if it’s a dream, I can see my son and husband as soon as I open my eyes. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Leona, are you ready?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Thoughts float back to reality, Claire can wipes her face at will with a towel and says, “OK, I will come out.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
At this time, Ashley is sitting at the table waiting for Claire. Seeing her coming out, she pushes the front of the table forward and says, “Hurry up, we will start when we are full.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Have you eaten, Ashley?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I’ve already had it.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Oh.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Picking up chopsticks, Claire takes a bite and thinks that the taste of this noodles is really ordinary. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
After eating for a while, Claire looks up and finds that Ashley is staring at herself with a complicated look. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Ashley, what’s the matter with you?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Ashley bit her lips lightly, hesitates for a moment and asks, “Leona, if, I mean, if, you find that I lied to you, will you forgive me?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“It depends on what it is.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“For example, your family.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“That’s the bottom line that can’t be touched.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“That is to say, no discussion.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Yes.” Claire puzzled, asks, “well, why do you want to ask me this question?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“It’s nothing to do, just chatting.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Fingers tapping on the table, Ashley turns her eyes. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire has no idea of eating. She puts down her chopsticks and asks, “Ashley, are you hiding something from me?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Yes.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Ashley’s answer is straightforward, Claire doesn’t know how to take it. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Well, can you talk to me about it? I can help you with my advice.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I’m afraid that if I tell you, we’ll never be friends again.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
So serious… <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire’s heart hangs up and looks at Ashley at a loss. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Well, don’t look at me. The noodles is going to be cold.” Reaching for Claire’s hand, Ashley says, “In a word, you remember, I won’t hurt you.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Using chopsticks to pick noodles, Claire says, “In fact, we can go separately.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Ashley’s eyebrows suddenly becomes fierce and asks, “Can’t you believe me?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“No, no, I’m thinking. If it aren’t for me, Black wouldn’t be in trouble and you wouldn’t be in a mess. I’m sorry.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“It’s not you who take Black away. What’s the point of your remorse?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Though not my master, you will not be in such danger if you do not meet me.” Speaking of this, Claire hesitates for a moment, then, as if she has made a great resolution, says, “If not, let me go to find Juan. I can’t watch you suffer.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“If you go, you can’t solve my problem. So don’t worry about it. I’ll deal with everything.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“It’s up to me, but I can’t do anything. I can only watch you go to insurance. It’s a terrible feeling.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“But your participation will not solve the problem, by contraries, you will make it more complicated. So, do you have to step in?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Ashley’s words annoyed Claire. She frowns and asks, “Am I really that bad?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Smiling and rubbing Claire’s hair, Ashley says, “It’s not a matter of poor strength, you are not suitable to think about it at all. Eat noodles now, we’re going to set out soon.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
