Bab 188: On Target

Kan sprinted after his parents, attempting to close the distance as they sped towards home.

Despite calling out, his words went unheard. Undeterred, Kan persisted until they reached their doorstep. Opening the door, he found his parents on the couch, panting.

"What's... why were you running?" Kan inquired, slightly out of breath. His parents exchanged a side glance, sighing instead of responding.

Perplexed, Kan pressed on, "Why were you running? Was someone after you?" He peered through the door, scanning for any potential pursuers.

His dad stood up without a word, heading to his room. "It's nothing, really," his mum finally said, rising to follow his dad.

Kan overheard his dad's murmured question, "How did he find us...?"

"I believe he can't find us in here...." His mum replied

The statement left Kan surprised.

"Who has finally found them? Is there something they're hiding?" he wondered.
