Chapter 442 - THE ATTACKS (2/2)

The car almost swerved into a tree after they took out her tyres with throwing knives. It was fortunate that she had regained control of the car and driven off with the punctured tyres until she was close enough to the entrance of the valley.

Even though she did not fight or get injured, it was a close call for her. She realised that she could not keep risking her life and Little Precious. But she was hesitant about pushing the buŧŧon and doing what Kaito told her to do if something happened to him and she was in danger.

She was still mulling on the thought of pressing that buŧŧon. And since she did not have a new lead, she decided to see her mother's lawyer. She had not forgotten about the matter he called her to discuss, but she had not prioritised it after coming back to Tokyo.

Now that she was thinking of leaving, it was time to deal with loose strings. Akira dismissed the superfluous thoughts in her mind and turned back to the wilting young man before her.

”Miss Brown, I am Lawyer Oda's ȧssistant.” His voice was a little shaky. ”Let me take you to his office.”

Akira looked the young man up and down before nodding. The young paralegal felt like he had received amnesty from the queen. He walked her to the elevator and pushed the buŧŧon with nervous hands. He ushered her in before stepping in and choosing the floor.

When Akira finally entered the legal office, she found that the old lawyer looked just a little greyer. However, she could not forget the kind face that had followed her through her life. She felt a little of the tension in her body flow out.

”Miss Brown, I am glad to see you.” He said. ”You have been ignoring my calls. I thought you did not want to hear the news.”

Akira smiled as she sat down. ”As you can see, I have a lot of things on my plate.”

Lawyer Oda was knowledgeable, so he understood immediately. He had suspected that the young lady was pregnant after seeing her, but he did not want to make ȧssumptions out loud. If he made an incorrect guess, he might be thrown out of his office window.

Women could be a little touchy about such issues.

When he received confirmation, he frowned with concern. As a lawyer, he had seen all types of situations involving young ladies and babies. Some of those cases escalated quickly, and they could even turn bloody.

”What is the situation? Do you need help?” He asked.

Akira laughed. ”You know me. If there was a problem, I would deal with it.”

She did not want to talk about Kaito. If she did, she might start crying. Once she started crying, she might not stop. She was handling the situation as well as she could, but she never imagined that this was how things would turn out.

”So, what did my mother want me to know?” She asked.
