She remembered once encountering sulfur at Paisleys place , where Paisley had explained that should always be stored away from fire .
it was highly flammable and The sulfur smell coming from this man was stronger and more pungent .
Whats worse , he reeked of gasoline as well .
Maria couldnt bring herself to think too deeply , but her eyes stayed locked on the man .
She noticed that he wasnt looking for his family or child , nor was he taking a seat at any of the empty tables .
Instead , he wandered around the restaurant as if searching for something .
The more Maria watched , the stronger her unease grew.
She picked up Serena , who was still eating , and said softly , Rena , sweetie , lets go home now , okay ? But I havent finished eating , Serena mumbled through her stuffed cheeks , confused .
No more eating Marias anxiety intensified , especially as she noticed out of the corner of her eye that the man seemed to have spotted her .
Wasting food is bad .
Grayson said , looking up at Maria with a frown .
She was lecturing him just a moment ago .
Maria hurriedly put Serenas jacket on , grabbed her bag , and after a moments hesitation grabbed Graysons hand , saying , Come on , youre coming too .
Her panic was overwhelming .
She was just an ordinary woman , incapable of saving everyone .
All she could do was ensure Serenas and her own safety .

If nothing happened , she would have misjudged the man .
Her plan was to get the children out of the restaurant and call the police to report her concerns .
She assumed that once Grayson left , his familys tutor , Claire , would automatically follow .
But to her surprise , Claire clung to Grayson tightly , glaring at Maria and yelling , What are you doing ? Trying to kidnap a child ? Claires loud voice quickly drew everyones attention in the restaurant , including that of the dangerous looking man .
He was now staring at them with a cold , sinister gaze .
Marias fear spiked , but she didnt let go of Graysons hand .

If there turned out to be no danger , so be it .
But if there was , she would never forgive herself for doing nothing .
Tm not kidnapping anyone .

Seeing Marias tears , she reached up to wipe them , but a sharp pain in her stomach stopped her .
