"Mommy, I'm afraid. Please don't leave me." Wake up from a nightmare, Sara held Sophia in her arms
and burst into tears.
"It's not a dream. Don't worry. I'm here safe and sound. Daddy will protect me," comforted Sophia, while
patting her head gently.
Looking at them, for some reason, there was an ominous feeling rising from the bottom of his heart.
From now on, he must not let her approach any place of mountains.
A week later, Sophia picked up Sara from school as usual. As soon as they stepped out of school, she
saw Lucas.
"Why are you here?" Sophia was a little surprised. It was more strange was that he didn't drive. But she
didn't ask. It was normal that he did something strange by chance.
"I'm coming to pick you up?" He cleared his throat and said in a hoarse voice.
"What's wrong with your throat?" He sounded so strange.
"I have a cold." He pinched his throat, turned around and asked Mary and Janie to go back by
themselves. He wanted to take his wife and child to a place with surprises.
Sophia got on the car with Sara. Seeing the mysterious expression on Lucas's face, she tittered in her
heart. Was it their anniversary again? She really could not remember it at all. What kind of surprise was
he going to give this time?
Sara fastened the seat belt. She looked at him with a smile and asked, "Daddy, where are we going?"
"You'll know when you get there. I promise you'll be surprised." A wicked glint flashed through his eyes.
He started the engine and sped forward.
Mary and Janie were sitting on the car returning to Bluewater Villa.
"Janie, don't you think something is wrong with our boss today? Why doesn't he drive here?" Asked
Mary.
"I think so too. Normally, he would have made a phone call before coming here." Janie nodded her
head with deep consideration. Mary thought carefully about it and found that his voice was strange
today. During these days, he had specifically told her that everything should be careful and be alert to
everyone and anything. Just in case, she dialed the number of Lucas.
"Boss, where are you going?"
"Mary, I'm having a meeting. What's up?"
Oh, no! That was not what she thought. She reported the situation to Lucas and got out of the car with
Janie.
At that time, the car Sophia and Sara had turned into a mountain road. Seeing that they were going up
the mountain, Sara was afraid, "Daddy, we don't want to go up the mountain. Mommy can't go up the
mountain."
"Why not?" He asked in a hoarse voice.
"Have you forgotten that there are bad guys in the mountain? Mommy will fall." Sara held Sophia.
The man in the front kept silent. He stepped on the gas and sped up the speed. Confused, Sophia
glanced at him from the rearview mirror. When she saw his bloodthirsty eyes, she shivered, and a deep
chill came from her pores.
The man was not Lucas!
Sophia's heart beat faster all of a sudden. She put her arms around Sara, trembling in fear and panic.
But soon, she forced herself to calm down and didn't let him notice that she had given herself away.
She looked around and saw no one in the cars. It was useless to call for help!
She had to think in a smarter way!
She covered her belly with her hands and cried out, "Oh, shit! Lucas, I seem to have eaten something
wrong. Stop the car right now!"
"Hold on. We're almost there." The man gave her a stern look.
"I can't help it. The smell in the car must be great." She groaned in pain and covered her mouth to
make a sound of licking.
"How smelly!" Sara covered her nose in a hurry.
"Damn it!" The man cursed and stopped the car. "Hurry up!"
Sophia helped Sara unfasten the seat belt, but his eyes were filled with hostility. "Why did you bring her
with you?"
"She has to pee. Don't pee at us. If you're not afraid of smelling, then we'll go." Sophia shot him a stare.
Covering her belly with her hands, she took Sara out of the car and walked to the dense bushes. She
squatted and watched them getting out.
"Sara, he is not Lucas. He is a bad guy." She whispered to Sara, "wait for me here. We'll run together
when I beat him down."
"Mommy, be careful." Sara was so frightened that she trembled all over. She felt that her dream came
true little by little. She was afraid that Sophia would really fall off the cliff and that she would never see
her again.
"Don't worry. Your mom is the best." She cracked a smile and picked up a stone and then walked
towards the woman sitting beside the car slowly.
"Are you done?" He asked with a straight face.
She nodded.
"Where's the cutie?"
"She wants to pee. Wait a minute." She smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck, "honey, do you
know that I like going in the wild and it's very exciting. Do you want to play with me for a while?"
She felt disgusted and got goose bumps all over her body. She tried hard to control her nausea and
suddenly lifted her legs. Her knees hit hard on his chest. After a howl like a pig, he covered his
weakness with his hands. She waved her hand again, clenched the stone and hit him hard on the
head. "Ouch --" he roared again in pain and fell to the ground.
"Sara, run..." at the same time, Sophia gave a loud shout. She rushed to the bushes, held up Sara's
hand and ran as fast as she could. The grass there was high and deep, which was good for hiding.
The man soon caught up with her.
Sophia squatted in the grass with Sara, and the man looked around not far away.
"Little beauty, you can't run away. Come out quickly. We are not done yet!" He smiled viciously.
As long as they stood up, Sophia knew that neither of them could escape. "Sara," she said. She
whispered almost to her lips, "I'll try to get him out of here, you should go down the mountain as soon
as possible, call the police as soon as you see anyone, and then call Daddy to save me."
Sara was about to cry, but she didn't dare to. Biting her lips, she said.
"My Sara is the bravest." Sophia wiped her tears and kissed her forehead in encouragement. Then she
stood up and said, "I'm here. Come and catch me if you can." Then she ran up the mountain
desperately, while the man chased after her closely.
Then Sara turned around and ran down the mountain. "Mommy, you must wait for us to save you, you
must wait for us to come."
Sophia ran to the top of the mountain with all her strength, and when she took another step forward,
she was on the cliff. When she turned around, the man had already caught up with her.
