At the same time, at the Thompson residence in West Suburb No. 7, Ellie looked at her family’s worried faces and truthfully recounted how she had been followed these past few days.

Initially, she was afraid her family would worry, but now things were much more serious than she had thought, and she had no choice but to speak up.

Even now, she was still unsure about who the other person was. By sharing her concerns, her family could be more cautious.

Jason asked, “Have you managed to identify any suspicious people around you?”
