The people around were shocked. They approached Tina and asked kindly, “Miss, are you okay?”
“What happened? Do you want us to call an ambulance for you?” Tina was embarrassed. She didn’t expect to fall down in public so openly. Her face flushed red, she stammered, “I-I’m fine! I’m just feeling a little dizzy. I’ll be okay after resting for a while.”
The crowd dispersed when they heard that. This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
Tina massaged her leg. A worried thought blossomed in her mind.
‘What happened to me lately? My body’s been very weak. I can’t even do simple chores like buying groceries now.’
Right at this moment, someone sent her a message. It was from Frederick Jackson.
“Tina, I just got off work and I’m about to go home. Have you prepared dinner?”
Tina hesitated and sent another message to him.
“I’m having an episode of anemia. I’ll rest at the supermarket for a while. It’ll probably take a while before I can come back.” “Anemia?” Frederick didn’t think twice before sending another message, “Send your location to me. I’ll pick you up.” Massaging her legs, she didn’t reject his offer and sent her location to him immediately. “I’m sorry for troubling you.” “It’s okay.”
Frederick looked at his phone with a smile. All this while, he had been busy with work. He hadn’t had a chance to fool around with women.
He wouldn’t let go of this golden opportunity! After resting for a while, Tina’s leg felt better and she walked to the cashier to pay for the groceries. Limping, she staggered towards the entrance of the parking lot and waited. After a while, Tina’s phone rang again. Thinking that it was from Frederick, she didn’t even look at the screen before answering the phone, “I’m at the parking lot entrance…” Before she could finish speaking, an eerie voice echoed from the receiver. “Tina Lynd.”
She jumped in surprise when she heard that voice.

She looked at the screen and frowned. “Pearl? Why are you calling me?” “Why can’t I call you? How dare you leave me to rot in jail! Do you feel guilty now, you shameless prick?” “Me? Guilty? Never in a thousand years!” Tina snarled. “I wasn’t the one who put you in jail. You did that to yourself.”
To Tina’s surprise, Pearl didn’t shout at her like Tina expected her to do. Instead, Pearl laughed hysterically. “Tina, don’t you want to know why I’m calling you? Do you want to take a guess?” “Isn’t it very obvious? You want me to withdraw my lawsuit,” Tina continued without hesitating. “Dream on! I’ll never let you out of jail!” Pearl declared proudly, “You’re wrong. Why don’t you look behind you?” “What do you mean?” Suddenly, Tina heard the sound of a car engine revving behind her. Turning back, she saw a car parked in the corner. The woman in the driver’s seat took off her black glasses, revealing a face contorted with fury. Tina stared at the woman in disbelief. “Pearl!” The moment they locked gazes, Pearl cackled maniacally on the phone. “You’re right! That’s me! Die, you wench!”
Pearl slammed on the accelerator and grabbed her steering wheel, and rushed toward Tina with mad glee.
