Chapter 343 Detect Danger After he disappeared, Kelly wiped her mouth thoroughly, feeling disgusted.
But his smell seemed to linger on her body. The more she wiped, the more irritated she got. So, she simply put on her clothes and hurried out. She couldn't wait to take a bath.
When she was walking back to the orphanage, she met Gabriel. He stood at the bottom of the stairs, and his gaze made her feel inexplicably nervous.
She almost subconsciously glanced at the tiny house when she saw him. Turning around, she felt relieved to see that the house's door wasn't facing them.
Even if he had seen her approaching, he would likely think she had just cout of the alley.
"Gabriel, hello. I was just on a walk. What are you doing out?" The implication was that she was already taking a walk when she saw him. He raised his eyebrows on smelling a strange odor in the breeze. It was a man's scent. He glanced at her thoughtfully. "Not much. Can you bringaround since you're exploring the place?" He was quite sincere in his request. This was the opportunity she had been waiting for. But she didn't dare to accept it just yet.
She still felt dirty and disgusting all over. She was afraid that he would discover something. Moreover, it was getting dark, and she had other things to do.

"A little tired?" he murmured meaningfully.
He was curious about who was with her just now in the orphanage. But his curiosity lasted only for a moment. He had already lost patience with her.
"Then go to rest." He then went looking for Rose. He went to her room and knocked on the door, but she wasn't inside. He tried walking around the orphanage but still didn't find her.
Miles was still dealing with official business, and Anastasia was nowhere to be seen. He guessed that she had been for a walk nearby.
When he went downstairs and passed Kelly again, he noticed the smell of women's perfmixed with a man's sweat on her. He suddenly stopped.
"Kelly." She wanted to avoid him and prevent him from noticing her abnormal behavior. But as soon as they passed each other, he stopped her. She had no choice but to turn around and smile innocently.
"What's the matter?" He stared at her and said, "I didn't do a good job today. It was originally a promise between you and Grandpa, and you were the protagonist. But he only has Aunt Rietta and Rose in his eyes. I don't want your birthday wish to be unfulfilled. I just happened to remember what my mother said about today. She toldtoday was the day Aunt Rietta returned to the Youngs. So ..." He was explaining today's events. Of course, she would be concerned about this. But knowing it was already the case, she did not blhim. Furthermore, what she wanted was more than just to be the protagonist.
"It doesn't matter. Grandpa's happiness is more important than anything else. I'm fine. Everything will be fine when he recovers." Once Oliver disappeared, everything would be fine! He was a little surprised by her generosity.
"It's good that you think so." He didn't linger any longer. She headed upstairs while he went downstairs. He then focused on Rosie, wondering if she was at the beach.
Yet, Rose wasn't at the beach. Instead, she had walked up the mountain following a trial. It was getting dark. She didn't turn back but quickened her pace and moved forward.
The old woman had walked in this direction.
She was worried that something would happen to that old woman because it was getting late. Even if she wanted to return, she had to find the old woman first and take her along. Unconsciously, she walked through a forest and arrived at an open space. Then, she saw a dilapidated church-like house with a faint light looming. She wondered where that old woman went. She walked toward a dilapidated church. It was overgrown with weeds. It was likely that it had been a long tsince anyone had been there.
At spoint, when she bent down to pick up a stick to steady her pace, she vaguely heard a man's voice from inside the church. She stopped for a moment. There were people inside. She thought she should leave, just to be safe.
But what if the old woman was in danger? She was worried about her safety. Just as she was about to move forward, a hand reached out from behind and grabbed her wrist.
She trembled and almost screamed. But when she saw the person who gestured for her to keep quiet, Rose immediately covered her mouth.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"It's you." It was none other than the old woman! She beckoned to Rose and whispered, "Follow me." Rose simply nodded and followed the old woman out of the dilapidated church. They walked around the back of the church from the other side and squatted against the wall. Inside the church, the conversation of several people could be heard.
"It's getting dark soon. Once it gets late, Theo will go to drug them." "Today's work is well worth it! But she is from the Youngs. Will there be any trouble later?" "What trouble could there be? We'll do it secretly." "I heard that she is a beauty. Theo, you've seen her. Is she beautiful?" It took a while before Theo Neel spoke.
"Yes, she is. She is more beautiful than the stars." She recognized Theo's voice immediately. He was the man who received them at the orphanage today! And they mentioned the Youngs and drugging.
She realized something was amiss and immediately wanted to return to tell Miles. She couldn't stay here any longer.
She ran from the dilapidated church anxiously and hurriedly, with the old theold woman trailing behind her. After trailing confirming those people wouldn't discover her, she reached into her pocket for her phone to call Miles.
But as she did so, she realized she had lost her phone. She could only turn back and try to look for it.However, her movements slowed as she didn't want to leave the old woman alone. Rose becincreasingly unfamiliar with the environment as it gradually got darker, and they were lost in the forest. "Granny, do you know the way?"
She pinned her hopes on the old woman. She lived here all year round and should have been familiar with NO the environment. Although it was dark, they could leave there as long as the old woman knew the way. The old woman smiled and said, "I know it, Rietta." Although she said she knew it, she was uncertain when she began navigating.
"This way. No, it's this way... Rietta, letthink about it. It should be this way... No, it's wrong. I can't remember. But I remember our secret hideout..." Like RICH WOMEN? X These women desperately want a mature men! JOIN NOW *Waming these rich. women will persue you.
