Tu Hengsha pretended not to hear, thinking hard about what to do.
Clearly, these two children were sound asleep in broad daylight, which meant they must have been given something to make them sleepy or calm. Otherwise, it would be impossible to keep the older child compliant, let alone a baby of a few months so quiet.
She couldn't possibly take two children away by herself, but if she were to escape alone, where would these two children end up, and would she still be able to get information?
She sized up the few people covertly, feeling inevitably disheartened. Whether she could escape was still up for debate!
While observing, she recalled her belongings. Her backpack had been left behind on the bus and not brought down; her cellphone, used last in the restroom at the service area, was now nowhere to be found.
