Chapter 635 Charged Through the Barriers
Raquella nearly fell backward from fright.
She turned around to find the security guard standing behind her. While she had been busy with her
fear, he had walked over and spotted her sitting on the top of the wall. He looked like he was going to
drag her off the wall at any moment.
"Are you in your rebellious phase? I said no, so why do you insist on going out?" the security guard
roared.
The angry security guard was about to charge over to the wall.
She slammed her eyes shut and forced herself to jump.
On the other hand, Frank kept his word. He caught her without issue.
"What is going on with you two? I told you to stop! Why do you insist on running off?" The security
guard huffed. However, he was unable to climb across the wall himself, so he had no choice but to
shout to them, "Come back!"
Frank did not plan to obey the security guard. He swiftly grabbed the bags and ran off with Raquella in
tow.
"Brats!"
The security guard's shouts faded away into the distance.
Now that they were out of the building, their next task was to find a way to get to Aunt Mariana's home.
They stood by the side of the road and watched the few cars speeding past them. Impatient, he said,
"Why don't we just walk? With the outbreak, taxis are not allowed to operate."
"I know that, but her home is very far away from us. We'll need to walk for an entire day, at least.
What's worse is that we have so many bags with us," she countered while looking at their bags in
distress.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Why don't we see if we can hail a car?" he suggested.
She sighed. "There's no way that will work. Everyone is rushing home. No one will stop for us."
"We should try. We won't know unless we do."
He immediately stepped onto the road and held his hands out to hail one of the cars. Standing in the
middle of the road, he took his job very seriously.
However, no matter how harried he looked, the cars kept driving by him. None of them showed any
signs of slowing down.
"It's fine. Let's forget about it since we can't hail anyone. I'll think of another way," she called out.
She looked down, frowning heavily as though she was thinking hard.
The lost look on her face made his eyes darken.
"Okay. Keep an eye on our bags. I'll be back soon," he said.
She looked up at him in confusion.
"What are you going to do?" she asked.
"Don't worry about it. I'll be back soon."
Then, he dashed away, ignoring her questions.
Standing by the road with bags by her feet, she stared down at her phone as time slowly ticked by.
Worry burned through her.
Nowhere was safe these days. Where did Frank go?
The more she thought about it, the more certain she was that he had gone off to do something risky.
Hence, she abandoned the bags and ran toward the direction he had run off in.
She had barely taken a few steps when she spotted Frank driving a Maybach over to her. She cried out
in surprise, "Where did you find the car? Did you head back into the building?"
He rolled down the window and waved at her, who was panting hard. "Leave those questions until after
you get in."
She dazedly nodded. Suddenly, she smacked herself on the head as she suddenly remembered
something. "Shoot! The bags!"
Frank let out an angry but amused huff. "Where did you leave the bags?"
"Back where you left me."
The guilty look on her face made him sigh before saying in a reassuring tone, "It's fine. Don't worry. I'll
go look for them."
She nodded and got into the car. Thankfully, they found the bags exactly where she left them. He
promptly loaded the bags into the car, and they drove off toward the outskirts of the city.
On the way there, he turned on the heater when he saw her shivering.
"Where did you get this car from, Frank?" she asked.
Since the entire area was under lockdown, no car was allowed to leave their parking lots. Thus, where
did the car come from?
"Don't worry about that."
Despite his persistent attempts at avoiding the topic, she refused to back down. Eventually, he
helplessly said, "Relax. Nothing actually happened. Don't worry."
"Since nothing happened, why won't you tell me what you did?"
She stared at him with blazing eyes.
"It's nothing big. I just…"
"What did you do?"
"I just charged through the barriers."
She abruptly recalled noticing how the car looked rather dented on the front when she first spotted him.
"Do you have a death wish?" she demanded.
His reply had infuriated her. She knew he had always been a bold man, but she had never imagined he
would be that brash.
Noticing her anger, he hurriedly pleaded, "I wanted to make sure we could get there soon."
The puppy eyes he pulled forced her anger to die out.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Were you hurt?" she asked.
His eyes flickered. "Of course not. Do you not believe me?"
As she had not noticed his reaction, she nodded. "In that case, I'll stop worrying. Still, you have to
promise me that you won't do something like that ever again. Do you hear me?"
Warmth filled his heart when he saw the solemn look on her face. He nodded. "Don't worry. I won't do it
again."
Aunt Mariana's home was located on the edges of the city where not many people lived.
That was exactly why Raquella was worried. If anything happened to Mariana, an ambulance would
never be able to get to her in time.
When Raquella stepped into the house, she found Mariana gasping for air while lying on the couch.
Mariana's face was bright red, a clear indicator of her feverish state.
Mariana's face twisted in shock when she saw Raquella. "Why are you here?"
Just as Raquella took a step forward, Mariana slapped a hand over her mouth and shuffled backward.
"Stay away! I'm infected. I don't want to make you sick too!"
"Don't worry, Aunt Mariana. I don't care even if you infect me."
A look of disapproval crossed Mariana's face. "What nonsense is that, child? This illness is no joke!"
"I know. I…"
"Go back to where you came from," Mariana interrupted. "Do not come back!"
Those few words left Mariana panting hard and almost unable to keep herself upright.
Raquella's eyes went red when she saw how sick Mariana was. "Enough. Don't say that. I won't leave."
Frank hurriedly piped up from beside her, "Aunt Mariana, please. We had to go through a lot to get
back here. Don't kick us out."
It was only then that Mariana noticed Frank's presence in her home. Confused, she asked, "This man
is…"
As Raquella wiped her tears away before slowly replying, "He's…"
However, Frank hurriedly continued her sentence. "Hello, Aunt Mariana. I'm Raquella's boyfriend."
