  • It was me who hit you. chapter 2 Cover
    by Jack Moran While they were ordering, I noticed that the old lady took off the bundle on her back. Instead of putting it on the chair beside her, she just glanced at the chair and then placed the bundle on her lap, holding it tightly with both hands. The middle - aged woman immediately noticed this. She scanned the lobby and then stood up and walked straight towards a row of high - stools by the wall, which were specially prepared for children. I was very puzzled: it was just a bundle, why did she need a special…
