On the second day, Jim went out early. After getting up, Eva found that it was still early, so she was
going to visit Percy and Jonson first. When she arrived at the apartment, she saw that Percy and
Jonson were having breakfast.
Seeing Eva come over, Percy asked if she had eaten. When she knew that she hadn't had breakfast
yet, she immediately asked Eva to sit down.
At the dinner table, Jonson asked about the recent life of Eva. Eva talked about the shooting and the
daily life with Jim. When she was about to get up and add some soup to Jonson, she suddenly felt a
nausea in her stomach. She covered her mouth and ran to the bathroom.
Both Percy and Jonson noticed the abnormality of Eva.
Jonson and Percy asked about Jim and Eva's relationship and whether they had talked about when to
prepare for the wedding. When Percy said they had not made a clear decision, Jonson immediately
declared that he must have a talk with Jim's parents and implement this matter as soon as possible.
When Eva came out of the bathroom, Percy filled another bowl of hot porridge for her. After she sat
down, Jonson frowned and said, "Eva, take care of yourself. As for the matter between you two, what's
the attitude of Jim's parents? Have you settled down when you are going to hold the wedding?"
"His parents like me very much. Last time when Jim took me to their home, his mother kept talking to
me. She said that there was finally someone in charge of Jim and she didn't need to worry about him
anymore. When Jim told her that I am pregnant, his mother almost asked us to move to live with them."
"The wedding will be held three months later. Jim's parents want to arrange the venue and inform their
relatives." After drinking a few mouthfuls of porridge, Eva continued.
"That's right. Jim is the only son of the Jing family. The wedding should be grand. It would need three
months to prepare. Please make an appointment with Jim's parents. I want to talk to them about some
details."
Eva agreed. Just now, she saw Essie walking towards them. When Essie went to the villa, she found
that Eva was not there. She guessed that Eva must have come to visit Percy and Jonson, so she came
to the apartment to look for her. As expected, she saw her.
After saying goodbye to Percy and Jonson, Eva and Essie drove to the nearby department store. When
Eva parked the car and was about to get off, she suddenly saw a figure flash from the rearview mirror,
but she immediately looked carefully to see if there was anyone. She thought she had a hallucination
and didn't take it seriously.
The two of them went to the clothing store upstairs and tried on several dresses, but they didn't find
any particularly favorite clothes.
When she went back to the first floor, she found that it was still early. It occurred to her that she could
go to the supermarket to buy some vegetables and fruits for Percy and prepare some snacks and fruits
for the evening. So she called Percy, and then went to the supermarket on the first floor with Essie, and
found one shopping carts.
They quickly selected some fruits and vegetables, and Eva and Essie also selected some spareribs for
Percy to make the soup at dinner.
They pushed the trolley to the snack area, and Eva threw a few bags of dessert into the trolley. When
she was about to take a pack of walnuts from the shelf, she suddenly felt a gust of wind from behind.
One or two empty shopping carts were rushing over along the passageway between the shelves. There
was no one in the passageway behind them, and Essie was still choosing on the other side.
The shopping carts moved so fast that the air was flowing and formed a stream of air. It was this wind
aroused the vigilance of Eva. With the instinctive reaction formed by her years of learning the Judo.
She pulled the cart beside her and pushed it out towards the cart.
With a loud crash, the two shopping carts collided and stopped. The loud crash woke up Essie who
was choosing in front of the shelf. She came to check Eva in a hurry. Seeing Eva standing there, she
rushed to her.
"Eva, are you okay?" asked Essie, who took Eva's hand and made a circle to see if there was any
injury.
"It's okay. I'm fine." Eva pushed the two shopping carts against the shelves from the aisle, and then
quickly walked to the end of the shelves with Essie.
On the other side of the goods shelf, there was a checkout counter next to it. Several nearby checkout
counter were also empty, and there were only a few people paying and walking at the checkout counter
in the distance.
Eva and Essie searched several shelves nearby, but they didn't see anyone suspicious.
Feeling that there was no further discovery, Eva and Essie decided to give up. They paid the bill at the
cashier's desk and then moved the things into the car.
"Eva, you were scared just now. Let me drive." Worrying that Eva would be frightened, Essie offered to
help her drive.
Essie started the car and slowly drove out of the parking lot. After a small turn, they began to enter the
exit passageway of the garage. At this time, Eva, who was sitting in the driver's seat, saw a black car
rushing out of the exit in the adjacent lane. She didn't take it to heart because it was a common case.
Essie carefully drove the car out of the parking lot and was about to turn a corner to the main street. All
of a sudden, she saw a black car rushing over on the right. She hadn't time to do anything but just
braked hard.
With a bang, the car hit the right front of the car and broke the light. After the collision, the car retreated
and quickly started again. Before Eva and Essie could react, it immediately drove away.
Due to the collision and the inertia of the brake, Eva hit her head against the windshield, leaving blood
on her forehead
"Eva, are you okay?" Seeing that Eva was bleeding, Essie quickly got out of the driver's seat. She
opened the door of Eva and helped her get out of the car.
"Nothing. I'm fine," replied Eva, wiping her blood. Fortunately, because of the safety belt and the speed
that had just driven out of the parking lot was not very fast, Eva did not hit hard.
"Really?" Essie was a little worried.
"I'm fine. But there is scratch on my forehead."
"Let's go to the hospital to have a check." Essie was a little worried, so she finally drove Eva to the
central hospital.
Hearing that Eva was hurt in a car accident, both Percy and Jonson rushed over. After hanging up the
phone, Jim also said that he would come soon.
When Percy and Jonson arrived at the hospital, the doctor had just finished a full examination for Eva
and told Essie that there was nothing wrong with Eva. However, Essie was still worried about the baby
and the adult. Seeing them coming, Essie left the doctor and walked up to them.
"Essie, is Eva okay?" Percy said worriedly.
"The doctor has just finished a general check-up for her. She said that there was nothing serious but a
little scratch," replied Essie.
"Is the baby okay?" Percy was still worried about her.
"The baby is alright. The doctor said that the adult might be affected for being frightened. There wasn't
any collision or squeezing on her belly. There was no obvious problem with the current examination
results." With the doctor's help, Essie told Percy the doctor's opinion.
"That's good. That's good." Percy pulled Jonson to the bed of Eva.
Seeing that Percy and Jonson came over, Eva stretched out her body and wanted to sit up on the bed.
Percy stopped her. "Eva, you don't need to get up. Just lie down and have a good rest." Jonson also
persuaded her to lie down and have a good rest.
After a while, Jim came in from the outside. When he knew that Eva was fine, he was relieved.
Essie told Essie and Percy about the shopping cart in the supermarket and the crash when she just
drove out of the garage. Both Jim and Jonson thought that the two things were connected and it should
not be a coincidence. Someone might be targeting Eva and the baby in her belly.
Essie took Jim and Jonson to the supermarket, leaving Percy in the hospital with Eva. They found the
person in charge of the supermarket and mobilized the surveillance camera of the supermarket, but did
not find particularly useful clues. The cart started to move at a blind corner of the monitor. They only
saw it rushing towards Eva, but they couldn't see who was pushing it behind.
Then they checked the underground garage, but they didn't find any special clues. They had also
asked someone to check the surveillance video of the underground garage. They only saw that when
Eva's car started, there seemed to be a car starting behind them, but it drove in front of them and drove
out of the garage. But the license plate of that car was a little blurry, and the driver and the car couldn't
be seen clearly.
Following the garage, Jim and Essie came to the exit. Essie pointed out the location of the car at that
time and the surrounding situation when the car accident happened. From what she said about the
black car at that time, both Jim and Jonson agreed that the car at that time was aiming for their car.
Jim and Jonson walked forward along the direction of the car. It was a new neighborhood and the
location was a little remote. The flow of people was not very big at ordinary times. After a short walk,
there was another corner ahead. The car stopped at that corner, and it was difficult to notice it from the
exit of the garage.
It seemed that they couldn't get any more. Jim and Essie drove back to the hospital. After comforting
Eva, Jim said that he would go back to find his friend and think of a way to see if there was any clues,
so he left first.
Originally, Eva wanted to leave the hospital, but both Percy and Essie were still worried. They thought
that it would be better for Eva to stay in the hospital for one night to observed the situation and prevent
miscarriage. Eva couldn't refuse their kindness, so she stayed in the hospital.
After Essie stayed in the hospital with Eva for a while, Percy and Jonson left first.
