around noon, and after eating, | went into the room to take a nap. When | got up, it was already nighttime.
Even if | could not go out, | thought heading to the supermarket would be alright.
Thinking that | wanted to personally cook for dinner, | changed my clothes and said," I'm going to the
supermarket to buy singredients, Caroline." “But Mr. Grant said that you shouldn't be going out, Madam."
"It'll be alright. I'm just going to the nearby supermarket, so it's okay. | can always wear a mask."
In the end, Caroline could not stopand had to letgo out.
The supermarket was just a few steps away from the villa, and | arrived quickly.
After the purchase, | went to the cashier to settle the bill, but an awkward event unfolded. | had forgotten to
bring my mobile phone and had no cash on me, which stumpedfor a while.
Looking at the cashier embarrassedly, | said, "Um... I'm sorry. | cout in a hurry and forgot to bring my phone.
I think I'll have to leave these here." "Wait, Miss. Nowadays, you can pay using facial recognition. Why not try it
out?"
'Is that so? Okay, sure.
Thinking that it would be impolite to leave all the things here, | took off my mask and used facial

However, in the eyes of others, | would seem to be running away out of guilt.
| felt somewhat helpless and looked at them. "Serena's accident had nothing to do with me, so it's best to not
give too much attention to me."
"Is that the truth? Did you really have nothing to do with it?"
There were more and more onlookers.

vegetables were thrown at me. It was not that | cared about this, but | was worried about scaring the child in my
belly.
All of a sudden, someone took my hand and said, "Run!"
A familiar voice...
| hurriedly followed him, rushed out of the crowd, and ran out of the supermarket.
After running for sdistance, | just had to stop. While caressing my belly, | panted and said, "That's enough
now, Xander. No one's chasing after me."
"I didn't think you'd recognize me," Xander said and took off his mask.
"I didn't, but your voice betrayed you." | looked around and put on a mask for safety's sake. "You should put it on
too. After all, you're quite well- known."
