Although these elderly people didn't look for Emma Smith's information online, seeing her with a big belly and a four-year-old child, how could they not guess her situation? They must think that she had been deceived by men time and time again outside, and only came back when she had nowhere else to go.
It took her a while to say, "Her mom went out."
Robert Thomson was taken aback, "Went out?"
"Yeah, she's been gone for several days, leaving early and returning late. We don't see her until late at night." The auntie next door was referring to Emma's mom going out to bring soup and medicine for Emma these days.
At this point, Robert hesitated. After a moment, he asked again, "Could you please give me her contact information?"
"Well..." The auntie was a bit hesitant. Although Robert looked talented and didn't seem like a poor person, who knew what he was up to just showing up like this?
