บท 203: Ticking Time Bomb.

"What happened?" Shikera asked, snapping her head up to see that two black cars had stopped directly in front of the one she was in.

"Stay in the car, Ma'am."

Shikera had no choice but to obey the man's instruction, as she didn't want to leave this world yet. Plus, Esther was with her. She could not endanger the little girl just to satisfy her own curiosity.

"Mummy..."

Hearing Esther's soft voice, Shikera looked down and saw that she was awake.

"How are you feeling now?" she asked gently. The slight fear that was still visible in the little girl's eyes made Shikera subconsciously plant a kiss on her temple.

"I am okay. Just a little scared," Esther replied.

The nonchalant way in which the girl spoke reminded Shikera of how she had been when she just got married to Ethan. Grumpy and a little bit mature, but who knew there was such an adorable angel beneath all of that?
