Chapter 1249

Instead, Cassidy resembled the children in his fragmented memories. That said, Heston refused to let her follow him. So, with a swift move, he disappeared from the spot in an instant. Staring at the empty alley, Cassidy appeared confused, albeit for a fleeting second, with no sign of panic or fear. She didn't leave; instead, she squatted down, her posture tinged with a quiet loneliness. She stayed like that for a long time until her legs went numb. Then, she simply grabbed a piece of cardboard nearby, laid it on the ground, and sat down, hugging her knees while remaining still. Cassidy didn't know how long she had been sitting there, but just as she was about to drift off to sleep, a pair of large feet suddenly appeared in front of her. Looking up, she saw the terrifying man—the one who had disappeared earlier—had returned. He stared at her intently, his eyes seemingly filled with frustration. After a long silence, he turned away without a word and slowly began to walk forward.
