Chapter 12 - Background

In the hospital

"Thanks for saving their lives, young lady! If you were not there, they might not make it... I'm so grateful..."

"You made the right choice to jump out and save her right on time. I'm so proud of you."

"..."

"So now what about the suspect?"

"About Alex.. The police decide to send him to the JDC. Alex is always like that; he likes to prank other kids. But this time he already exaggerated."

"Please make sure that things like this will never happen again in the future."

"I'll do my best, sir."

"Excuse me, are you Miss Mona?"

"Yes,I am?.. Did something happen to the kids?"

"Please stay strong, Miss. The little girl did survive, but unfortunately, the little boy didn't.."

'"..You mean Bob already?..."

Miss Mona's expression changed. But to keep her appearance in front of Mr Takashi, she tried hard to hold back her tears.

"May I meet the little girl?"

"Yes, I'll lead you to her ward."

Three of them—Mr. Takashi, Miss Mona, and I—followed the nurse from behind to the girl's ward.

At the little girl's ward

"Here,Her ward. Then excuse me."

"Thank you so much."

"Carlyn... I'm so sorry I can't save you time. If I had been there a minute earlier, this would never have happened to both of you.."

"....."

Miss Mona suddenly started to tell us a story about how Carlyn ended up in this orphanage.

Carlyn comes from a rich and lovely family. She has a twin brother,Carl. But that day, she lost it all. Her evil auntie set her family up to gain her brother's property for herself. She sets explosives under her brother's car while they're sleeping. The next day, when they were planning to go to the family gathering, the car exploded.

Right in front Carlyn. Both of her parents and twin brothers died in the place.Her auntie bribed the police officer to make a false report saying that her parents and twin brother had died in a car accident. Since then, Carlyn has lived her life here in the orphanage.

"Such an evil auntie!"

"......."

"After she moved here, she never smiled... I hope that one day I can see her warm smile again."

After that, my father and I went back to our house. On the way back home, my father told me something that I decided to keep until

now.

"Be friends with her. She must be so lonely."

"....."

The next day,I decided to visit Carlyn in the hospital.

*Clank*[Door sound]

"Miss Mona?..Ah..No..You're.."

"....."

"You're the one who saved me, right? Miss Mona told me about you. Thank you very much."

"Here."

"Fruit?, Is this for me? Thank you!."

Miss Mona's words are true. She smiles, but it feels like she doesn't.

From that day,I decided to visit her every day until she was discharged from the hospital. They two become closer to each other. But little did they know. A worse fate is waiting for them in the future.
