Winning Her Heart Back

Who Was He Running To

As they passed by the ice cream shop, Melanie playfully asked William to buy her a cone.

Cindy chimed in, saying she was thirsty, too. William casually agreed and let them choose for themselves.

He spotted a crispy cone and vaguely remembered that Emelle liked it, so he picked one up.

However, when he turned around, he saw Emelie drinking water from her thermos.

He was speechless seeing that.

Emelie didn’t particularly dislike ice cream.

However, she experienced severe menstrual pain last time and suspected it was caused by the

miscarriage.

From then onward, she decided to take good care of herself by avoiding cold foods and drinks and opting

instead for warm water in her daily routine. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

William expressionlessly put the cone back in the freezer.

Suddenly, Melanie let out a little cry as the melting cone dirtied her fingers. She wiped them a few times with a tissue but still felt uncomfortable and stick

Is there a restroom here?” she asked.

“Yes, it’s over there, around the corner.” The mall manager pointed out.

Melanie threw the cone away. “Will, I’m going to wash my hands. Wait for me, okay?”

William was busy discussing with a brand representative, so he might or might not have heard her, but he

nodded anyway.

After that, Melanie went off on her own.

Meanwhile, Emelie wandered around and inadvertently overheard two sales assistants chatting near the beauty counter.

“Do you know? There’s an exhibitionist near our mall. I saw him from a distance last night after work. I

was so scared.”

“I know. Someone reported it to the police, but they couldn’t find him. I wonder where he’s hiding. You

don’t think he’s in our mall, do you?”

Hearing that, Emelie had a bad feeling.

She looked around and saw that William was still talking to the brand representative, Cindy her ice cream, and Melanie hadn’t returned yet.

She glanced at her watch. It had been ten minutes. At once, she headed toward the restroom.

As soon as she got there, she heard Melanie scream at the top of her lungs.

Who Was He Running To

Emelle ran over and saw Melanie, who was pale with fear.

Behind her, there was an exposed man.

The man was obviously mentally disturbed. He was chasing after Melanie with a creepy smile on his face.

Melanie was terrified. With the slippery tiles, she stumbled and fell in panic. This gave the exhibitionist a chance to pounce on her.

Immediately, she screamed.

Emelie quickly grabbed a fire extinguisher from the wall and smashed it against the back of the

exhibitionist’s head.

When he fell to the ground, she pulled Melanie up. “Get up! Run!”

The two of them ran as fast as they could.

The commotion had already attracted the attention of other people in the mall. Security guards were also

rushing over. Just then, Emelie saw William in the crowd.

At that moment, she didn’t have time to think about anything. Instinctively, she ran toward him. When William saw her, he ran toward her, too.

Any woman would be petrified if they encountered a mentally disturbed exhibitionist.

Emelie suddenly wanted to be by his side, so she ran toward him with all her might.

In the last few steps, her eyes involuntarily reddened, and she cried out, “Will-”

Yet Melanie beat her to it.

She let go of Emelie’s hand and threw herself into William’s arms, hugging his waist tightly as she cried.

“Will, it,was so scary. I was scared to death….

Emelie froze in place.

William patted Melanie’s back and comforted her softly, “It’s okay now. The guy has been caught.”

And with that, the panic that had gripped Emelie faded away like a receding tide.

She regained her composure, and the moisture in her eyes dried up.

Like the surface of the sea untouched by the wind, not a ripple remained in her heart.

She was overthinking it.

William wasn’t running toward her. He was running toward Melanie.
