Chapter 29
Only when I heard the sound of car door closing did I open the trunk slowly.
Oh, my God! Inside the trunk was Elena!
How did she get in there?
“Mommy—”
Elena seemed to want to say something, but I quickly bent down and stopped her.
“Shh!” I put my index finger on my lips, signaling at her to stay quiet.
“Don’t speak.
”
Elena blinked her innocent eyes in confusion.
She didn’t seem to understand why I was so nervous, but the sensible girl obediently fell silent.
She even put her little index finger on her mouth to mimic me.
“Shh.
” There was a simple and innocent smile on her cute face, as though this was all just a game to her.
I swallowed nervously.
The sound of the other car starting made my heart stop in my chest.
In the short few minutes it took for Carlos to drive out of sight, I felt as though an eternity had passed.
My body froze, my heart beat wildly in my chest, and my soul seemed to Leave my body.

My tensed spirit suddenly relaxed.
I leaned against the car weakly and wiped away the cold sweat on my forehead.
Even the back of my shirt was soaked with sweat.

Elena’s soft voice came from the trunk.
She must’ve thought that I was angry.
“I missed you so much and I didn’t want you to leave, so I followed you secretly.
I’m sorry…”
She stuck out her trembling lower Lip, her eyes welling up with tears.
Roz Town was around 4 kilometers away.
It was getting dark, and it was definitely too Late to take Elena back to the Xeric Pack.
I had no choice but to take her with me for now.
“Honey, what you did was very dangerous.
Don’t do it again, okay?” I scooped her up from the trunk and set her down in the passenger seat, making sure to secure her seat belt.
“Elena, do you have any idea how much trouble we were in just now? I almost Lost you, baby.
“I’m sorry, Mommy!” At the thought that she might not see me again, Elena threw her arms around me and hugged me tightly.
“I know I was wrong!”
Seeing that she was scared, I shook my head in defeat.
I knew I couldn’t scold her.
“Alright, alright.
Let’s get going.
