At first, | thought only the people in the wet market were staring at us because they thought it was a peculiar
scene.
After | put everything in the car, | still felt that someone was staring at us. However, when | turned around, | did
not see anyone else around us.
The parking lot was so far away from the wet market that it was impossible for us to becthe center of
attention as we were earlier.
| shook my head and thought that maybe | was being paranoid.
Without thinking anymore, | took Munchkin along and returned the cart to the owner. We then made our way to
the supermarket.

someone was watching us.

"Mommy, what's wrong with you?" Munchkin could feel that | was acting strange.
"I haven't been to the supermarket here before. I'm afraid that if you run far away, | won't be able to find you
later." | did not tell Munchkin about my fear as | did not want to scare him.
"Mommy, you're afraid of getting lost, right?" The little guy cocked the corner of his mouth halfway up.

While walking past the aisle that displayed potato chips, Munchkin suddenly pulleddown behind the shelves.
"What's wrong?" | rushed to ask.
"Mommy, | feel like someone has been following us from behind."
My heart was racing. Could it be that even Munchkin had already found out? It could not be Alex's people again,
right?
Sure enough, | saw a figure pushing a shopping cart and following our original route around the corner.
He pretended to be shopping, but

was something suspicious about him.
He looked around, but Munchkin and | hid behind the shelves and could not get a good look at his face.

permission, he ran toward Tina.
| all smiled and walked up. "Was that
you guys at the wet market just now?" "Yes, Tina saw you guys early in the morning, but there were too many

Fred laughed in embarrassment.
| also smiled and shook my head. "I did mention finding stto visit so the two children could play

"What took you so long to get back
from your trip?" "Long story. I'll have you know we had sgreat adventures along the way. | even had
surgery," Munchkin saido braggingly.
Fred also looked down at the children next to him, looking a little helpless.
"Well, let's talk about it as we walk."
