Chương 49: The Lost Sheep.

The sun was already down on the horizon when Emily stopped and looked around.

This place was unfamiliar to her.

Where's she? What time is it?

She noticed a bus stop ahead with an indicating panel showing the bus schedule and time.

7 P.M. Was she outside, walking all this time?

She remembered that when Justin's car was out of sight, she stood still for a long time, not knowing where to go. In the building of the publishing house, no one was waiting for her.

She didn't want to go home. And she had nothing to get to home. She had no money or phone with her.

So she just started walking without thinking about the ultimate goal.

The first hour was hard. She wanted to sit down in the middle of the street and cry. And not care what passers-by would think.

Three hours later, her head went blank. The intrusive thoughts finally stopped agitating her soul and left her alone.

Only in the chest, something was still burning, and it was difficult to breathe from it.
