“Lily?” Since Lily did not answer, Olivia called her name again. She followed Lily‘s line of sight and saw
a man walking toward them. Olivia squinted to see the man getting closer. Even though it was late at
night and the duo was under the dimn street lamp, Olivia could still see the man‘s figure and facial
features.
Olivia thought the situation resembled a masterfully crafted scene from a movie. The man was ordinary,
