But after saying what they want, they hung up as if she owed them a favor.
Even now, she doesn't know what happened to them, looking at the darkness that envelope them. Marie let out a long sigh. ”Jack, I will be your emotional support for a while.”
Marie tried to push the bed but it no avails. ”Damn, something heavy was stuck above the bed. Txk, no choice but to do this, I will resolve the consequence later.”
Marie used her two palms then push the bed aside then a 2meter tall boulder appeared crushing down at her. ”Txk, little Jack will be harm if I punch this, right?” Marie thought.
”Wind lock.” A gust of wind gathered on her hand, as she fixed her gaze at a stone in front of her. When the boulder was about to hit her, the wind that she gathered let out a buzzing sound as it envelops it.
When the boulder stop moving, Marie took Jack and ran out of the hospital, when she got outside. What she saw stunned her, the only building reduced to rubble is the one they occupied.
A lot of patients cried out in pain as they receive injuries. Doctors and nurses assisted all of the patients in the other building resting ward.
”Thank god, all of the patients got outside the building before it's collapse.” The nurses sigh in relief.
”Strange, that earthquake only occurred in our area.” A nurse said in a low voice.
”Is what you said is true!?”
When they heard that shout, the doctors were startled. ”What happened?”
”Director Cha, I don't know if Its true or not, but my friend told me that no earthquake occurred in their area.”
”Which street?”
”Chaowai Street.”
”That's streets is only 300m away from us, is this terrorism?” Director Cha muttered to himself.
Marie who heard their conversation turned pale. ”Did they found me?”
She suddenly remembered the organization who was chasing them for almost year, that organization was the reason that Jack family decided to stay in China to hide from their pursuit, she didn't think that they already track them.
”Impossible!” Because of the recent event happen continuously, her thought turned clouded as she didn't think that Jack is the reason for that earthquake. Also for new awaken supernatural to make the building collapse, Marie shook her head as she hurriedly got into her car. ”I better act cautiously, if not, little Jack life will be in danger.”

”Madam, show us your membership card.” He asked politely.
The bald man was an experienced person, this woman riding a limited edition Porche cannot be ordinary. ”I don't have a card, but little Jack is here.” Marie pointed her finger at Jack sleeping beside her.
When the bald man saw Jack, his face turned pale, as he hurriedly shouted angrily at his subordinate. ”Open the gate.”
The man beside him was startled. ”Yes, sir.”
When the other black clothes man is gone to open the gate, the bald man turned his head and respectfully bowed to Marie. ”Forgive me for wasting your precious time.”
Marie responds with a smile then drove her car inside the gate. Looking at the car getting farther, the man who opened the gate saw his boss sweating profusely. ”Boss, who are they?”
”Kid, not knowing it, is a good thing.” The boss looks coldly at the man he knew a little about the people behind Jack, but when he thought about those dangerous men beside Jack's father. He nearly pisses on his pants, he shook his head and decided not to think about it.
Looking at his boss back, the man didn't dare to ask any further as he knew that an insignificant person like him was not worth their glance at all.
Marie took Jack on his room, then put him into his bed. Looking at him, she wondered how long, can she stay beside him. Her existence was a top secret, not only in this country but to the whole world.
