Chapter 42 Dumpling on the move (1/2)
Heavily breathing, Lexi pursed her lips and slowly closed her eyes and opened them once again. She was thankful that they made it out alive. They didn't encounter any trouble with the route that Churu directed.

”Where would I drop you off?” After contemplating for a while, Lexi inquired with caution. She doesn't want to sound rude as Ethan's image on her mind slightly changed.
”It's okay. I'll just make a call when you got home.” Ethan meekly smiled and looked at Lexi's still nervous front. Though she doesn't looked that scared just like earlier, Ethan still wanted to make sure she could make it home.
However, Ethan must've took a toll from trying to fend off the men earlier as he could feel he fractured his shoulder and ribs. Alas, Ethan had a bad habit of bottling everything to himself, which is why he chose not to let Lexi know about it.
Churu on the other hand smiled brightly hearing Ethan's statement. She already foresaw this happening -- an injured Ethan Lu and scared Lexi.
Churu took advantage of the fact that Lexi wasn't as clear headed as she usually was. Thanks to her hidden abilities that could only use in case of emergencies, Churu managed to examined Ethan earlier when she arrived inside the van. She instantly got the result of his life percentage and found some broken bones which could be a little serious if left unattended.
Moreover, Churu stretched her ability and asked permission from the system to some relevant information about the target which is Ethan Lu. To her surprise, Ethan hated hospitals.

Though Churu was uncertain of the time limit or how long will this idea of hers would last, for her, it's worth the gamble -- especially now that Ethan unintentionally riding with Churu's plan.
”Alright,” Lexi sighed in defeat before she followed Churu's direction.
