Chapter 1074

Unfortunately, Olivia was right beside Rebecca. How could she possibly get a message to Jonah without giving herself away?
“Rebecca, let’s hurry and grab a cab! We can’t waste any time!” Olivia said.
With that, she stepped up to the curb and tried to flag one down.
Just as anxiety started to creep over Rebecca, a ball rolled to her feet. A little girl came running up. “Hey, miss, this is my ball,” she said.
Rebecca’s heart lifted. In the middle of her worry, a godsend had arrived. Rebecca realized she could use this girl to her advantage.
An idea formed in her mind. Olivia was ahead, completely unaware of what was happening behind her. This was the perfect opportunity.
Rebecca crouched down and picked up the ball. “Hey, sweetheart, is this yours?”
The girl nodded. “Yes, miss. I accidentally kicked it to your feet just now. Can you give it back?”
Rebecca smiled. “Of course I can return it… but Her voice dropped to a whisper. “Can you do me a small favor?”
“What favor?” the girl asked.
Leaning closer, Rebecca whispered into her ear, “Can you help me make a phone call?”
“A phone call?”
Rebecca immediately wore a pitiful expression. “Sweetheart, I’m having some trouble right now and could really use your help. You’re a good kid, aren’t you?”
“Of course I am,” the girl said.
“Good kids like you like to help others, don’t they? I’m in a bit of a predicament. If you help me make this call, I’ll be safe.”
The girl nodded innocently. “Sure thing.”
Rebecca whispered Jona fee

With that, she ran off.
Rebecca let out a relieved sigh. Just then, Olivia turned back.
“Rebecca!” she shouted.
Rebecca quickly put on a smile. “Olivia, did you manage to get a cab? Or should I
call one for us?”
“The cab is here!” Olivia exclaimed.
At that moment, a car pulled up.
Rebecca’s face lit up. “Perfect! Let’s hury to the dock. Once you’re on the ferry, youll be safe.”

She opened the back door. “After you, Olivia.”
Olivia slid inside. “Let’s go!”
Half an hour later, the cab pulled up at the dock. Night had settled in, and the sky was pitch dark.
As Rebecca and Olivia stepped out, Olivia glanced around. “Where’s the ferry?” “Don’t worry, Olivia. It should be here any moment,” Rebecca reassured her. Just as she spoke, a ferry emerged on the water.
