Marriage Resumption (Valeria and Hackett)

Resumption 338

Chapter 338

"Casimir, wait for me! My nose hurts, and it's bleeding!" the other man held his nose and cried.

Casimir, annoyed by the man clutching at his pants leg on the ground, kicked him away impatiently. "Get lost! It's all your fault! You let her escape! Just wait until I get back. I'll deal with you!" Valeria sprinted out of the shabby motel, leaving the bewildered landlady at the front desk. She had never seen this woman enter her establishment; how had she suddenly come running out? "Miss, you..."

The landlady wanted to ask more questions, but Valeria didn't look back and exited the motel without a word. She occasionally glanced over her shoulder, afraid of being caught. The man's rude voice echoed behind her, "Stop! Come back! Come back!"

Valeria looked panicked, still wearing her high heels. She took them off and continued barefoot, occasionally crying out in pain as she stepped on a sharp pebble.

The next second, she couldn't move any further. She cried out, "Ah!"

Valeria couldn't walk anymore, so she leaned against the wall, slowly inching forward. But the man behind her was closing in quickly.

Thinking fast, she ducked into a nearby alley and watched as the man sprinted past her like the wind.

Once she was certain that the man had gone far enough, Valeria breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, and left the alley.

Now, what was she going to do?

She didn't have a phone, no cash to make a call for help, and no way to hail a cab.

Her injured foot made walking difficult.

Moreover, she was in an unfamiliar neighborhood. It was worse than the slum where she grew up. Everyone she passed looked like a criminal.

Valeria clutched her shoulders instinctively, trying to come up with a plan to escape this place.

She had to keep walking along this road, hoping to eventually reach a familiar area.
