I hadn't come down from the excitement of such a big event, so there was no way I could fall asleep.
The scenes that had just happened in the Pierce mansion played out in my mind like a movie.
I didn't know if those keys were what we had been looking for.
I really couldn't wait to find out, but that would have to wait until morning.
While I was thinking about that, my phone rang. It was Trinity.
I hesitated for a moment. Just thinking of her made me automatically think of the Avila family.
I unlocked my phone. "Hey, Trinity."
"Are you in Nocturnia, Chloe?" she asked.
"Yeah. I've been here for a few days. I received sudden news that Grandpa was critically ill, so I rushed here without saying goodbye to you."
"How's the situation? Is everything okay?" she asked.
"It’s fine. It was a false alarm," I complained.
As I said that, even I was surprised. A thought flashed through my mind. Who was the mastermind behind this false alarm?
Was it Grandpa or Celine? Why did I suddenly feel like this question was confusing?
If it was Celine, what was her real purpose in wanting us to return so urgently?
From what I learned today, she had no idea how Grandpa was doing. In fact, she hadn't seen grandpa for years. She had no idea that Grandpa was still so strong and healthy.
His swift action showed that he hadn't wasted these years doing nothing. Instead of staying home and recovering, he seemed to have quietly prepared for today.
On the other hand, if it was Grandpa...
"Chloe, are you still there?" Trinity seemed to notice I was distracted.
I quickly regained my composure. "Yes, I'm here."
