“Thanks” Gilbert returned, looking for Sherilyn Lets go Grab your stuff. We can leave now”

Sherilyn didn’t look at him, stood up, and walked straight to the young officer

“Here you go” The officer handed her bag over. “Check to see if anything’s missing”

“Okay” Sherilyn checked her belongings her phone, keychain, pepper spray, a stone, etc. “Everything’s here”

Behind het Gilbert saw it, too, his gaze landing on the stone it was common for a girt to carry pepper spray for self–defense, but a stane?

“You carry this amound?” Gilbert reached out, picking up the stone, which will had dried blood

Sherilyn didn’t respond, grabbing the stone from his hand to stuff it back in her bag

“Wait a minute The officer stopped her “Sherilyn, a stone is considered a dangerous item. You can’t take it with yout

Sherilyn pursed her lips a hint of regret in her tone: “Okay, I understand”

She stuffed the rest of her items into her bag and zipped it up. “Thanks, officer

The officer smiled. No problem”

Turning around, she left the police station with quick steps.

“Hey Sherilyn Gilbert called from behind, almost failing to catch up with her “Wait for me I’ll give you a ride back

“Don’t touch me” Shenlyn tumed sharply, her bright eyes filled with wanness, glaring at him

“Stay back“”

Gilbert froze instinctively raising his hands. “Okay, I won’t touch you. I keep my distance. Just calm down.”

He had never seen Sherlyn like that, like a startled animal ready to bite at any moment.

He lowered his voice, slowly saying, “My cars over there it’s late. Shall we go?”

Sherlyn gradually calmed down it was late, and she was tired. She didn’t want any more incidents or another police station visit

“Hmm.” She nodded, hugging her backpack close.

“Let’s go Gilbert sighed in relief, leading her to his car and opening the passenger door

However Sherilyn didnt get in. Instead, she walked to the back seat opened the door, and sat down.

Gilbert was momentarily silent, closed the passenger door, and walked to the driver’s seat.

As the car set off, he glanced at Sherlyn in the rearview mirror

Sherilyn was hugging her backpack, curled up in the comet her eyes tightly shut not uttering a word, clearly not interested in talking to

-Hmph. Gilbert frowned. The girl before him seemed hardly to overlap with the one he remembered.

Half an hour later, they arrived at Golden Oak Manor

Gilbert parked the car and announced, “We’re here”

However, the person in the back seat didn’t react.

“Sherilyn He turned around, only to find Shanlyn half lying down, mouth slightly open. Had she fallen asleep?

Without thinking much, he got off, opened the back door, and tapped Sherlyn’s shoulder “We’re here Wake up

But Sherilyn remained asleep

Sh. Gilbert was about to call out again but suddenly stopped, changing his mind. He figured he was at fault tonight. He might as well do a good deed and cany Sherilyn ins–de

He reached out, one arm under her neck and over her shoulder the other under her knees.

As he was about to lift het, Sherilynis eyes fluttered open

Their eyes met in a startled gaze. Unsure how to act, Gilbert stumbled, falling loward Shenn.

“Oops!”
