"No, Lord Nate didn't give me money." Faith blurted it out, then covered her mouth at once. "Um, I'm sorry, Kylie. Lord Nate did have met me, but I do want to stay by your side."

Kylie wore an embarrassed smile, hearing her talking.

​​

"No matter what evidence they have, I trust you!" Faith added. "Whatever you want to do, I can help you keep it a secret from them. I mean it!"

Kylie took out an envelope from her handbag. She placed it in front of Faith. "There are 20 thousand dollars inside. It's enough for you to live a good life before Ken comes out to jail."

Seeing Kylie walking away, Faith stood up in a hurry. "Kylie, think about it!"

Kylie stopped for a second, then strode ahead.

There were all women's clothing counters on the three floors above. Kylie walked around for a while, then stepped towards the ladies' room.

A short while later, a figure flashed into it as well.

"Kylie?" Faith called in a quiet voice, and the middle cubicle door opened.

"I was wondering whether you'll open the envelope when you're home." Kylie walked out of it.

"I'm not an idiot, and you gave me a heavy hint," Faith said with a smile. "What should we do now?"

Kylie said, "There is an exclusive shop not far away, and we can exchange our identities there."

"Great." Faith nodded. "How are we going to exchange our identities back?"

Kylie thought for a while. "There is a movie theater on the top floor, and we can do that in the screening room."

"Aren't you afraid those bodyguards will clear the screening room too?" Faith was a little worried.

"It's not a big deal. It's dark inside anyway." Kylie gave a glance at the clock. "I should be back after the movie end."

"You're really bold." Faith shook her head, then slipped out of the ladies' room with her face covered in her hoodie.

Three minutes later, Kylie walked out.

She went to the appointed exclusive shop, then said to her bodyguards, "I'll try some clothing inside, and you can all wait at the door."

"Mrs. Parker, Mr. Parker ordered us to protect you 24/7," a bodyguard said.

Kylie pointed at the door. "It's fine. There is only one exit."

The bodyguard looked around, and it was true that there was only a door to this exclusive shop. They could easily see who came in and out of it by standing at the door.

When Kylie was about to enter it, she said, "Dangerous World is still in theaters now, and I'm going to slip in a screening room to hear the audience's opinions about it. Don't follow me behind then."

"Well..."

"Go buy a ticket for me," Kylie said, then walked into the shop. "Please give me those dresses of my size. I need to try them on."

A saleswoman welcomed Kylie with great enthusiasm. "Please, this way."

She didn't leave until she walked Kylie to the dressing room.

"Ahem!" Kylie made a cough, and someone knocked on the door without delay.

She opened it and let Faith get in.

"Hurry up. Put it on." Kylie gave Faith a set of clothing. "Do remember to ask the bodyguard for a movie ticket when you walk out later. Talk as little as you could."

"I understand," Faith said, then put the clothing on at once. They had a similar hairstyle and build, so it wasn't difficult for Faith to disguise herself as Kylie with the pair of Kylie's sunglasses.

"Be careful!" Faith said to Kylie, then left.

When the saleswoman wanted to say something, Kylie called her over. "Would you please help me with the zip?"

The saleswoman glanced at Faith and Kylie but didn't know what to say.

Kylie squeezed a hundred dollars into her hand. "Please charge the clothing she's wearing and those left in this dressing room to my account."

"Oh, no problem." The saleswoman agreed.

A bodyguard handed a movie ticket over once Faith walked out. "Mrs. Parker, please go to the VIP screening room."

"Thanks," Faith said in a low voice and took the movie ticket.

Kylie didn't leave the shopping mall until she was sure they were all gone.

Ethan had installed a GPS system on her phone, so she gave her phone to Faith too. When she reached the first floor, she called Stephen with the phone at the reception desk.

Probably because it was an unknown number, her call was cut off within a second.

Kylie dialed three times, and someone answered her call at the end.

"Hi." A middle-aged man's voice sounded.

"Stephen?" Kylie asked.

"Miss Finch?" It was the housekeeper's voice.

Stephen stood right by the housekeeper's side and grabbed the phone away. "Kylie?"

"Stephen, I want to meet you," Kylie said without hesitation.

Stephen's voice was as gentle as usual. "Tell me your location, and I'll go pick you up."

"I'm at the commercial street now," Kylie said. "I only have 90 minutes. Be quick."

Stephen was surprised to receive Kylie's call, and he didn't understand why her time was limited. "Does Ethan restrict your freedom?"

If so, he wouldn't let Kylie go back again. He wanted her to stay beside him.

"No, it's hard to explain it on the phone. Let's talk about it face to face." Kylie was very cautious and gave a glance around her.

Although she was in a totally different look today, people who were familiar with her still could recognize her at first glance.

"Sure, I'll be there in 10 minutes." Stephen hung up the call and walked outside, but the housekeeper stopped him.

"Lord Stephen, you can't go there!" the housekeeper said. "Kylie just escaped from your side last time, and it must be a trap set by Ethan. They want to catch you."

Stephen shook his hand. "Relax, I'll protect myself well."

Kylie waited in anxiety at the bus stop.

Within 10 minutes, a black car stopped before her.

Kylie bent and saw the driver she had met that late night, but he looked at her with a pair of tender eyes this time. "Where are you going, miss?"

"I don't have much money," Kylie said.

"It's fine. Get in." The driver opened the car door.

Kylie got in it at once, and it moved away fast, then stopped at the front of an abandoned building with few people around.

The driver tore off his mask afterward.

Kylie stared at Stephen's face, then gave a glance at his big belly. She even reached out to her hand to press it. "Is it made of rubber?"

Stephen smiled. "What do you want to talk about with me?"

Kylie drew her hand back. "Are you the Ghost Doctor?"

Stephen unfastened his safety belt. "Is Ethan really injured?" He asked immediately, yet he knew from the beginning Ethan is not human. The biggest secret that only him alone had an idea and those other blood brothers around them were the same race as Ethan.

Kylie nodded. "Yes, he's seriously injured, and the doctor said the wounds are already infected. His life is in danger now."

"Does he tell you to find me?" Stephen tapped on the steering wheel.

"No." Kylie shrugged. "You know him very well too. He would rather die than be cured by you."

"Then why do you find me? Did he tell you something about himself? I guess not, am I right?" Stephen's fingers stiffened for a second, then kept on tapping.
