qNothing went wrong in the next couple of days, but somehow, Francesca was worried about the orphanage as she had an inkling that something unpleasant was about to happen.
She would patrol the area at midnight before returning to her house to rest.
That was why she could not sleep well every night. She would look listless every time she visited William.
William was worried about her and would check on her to see if she needed assistance, but she would always say she was overwhelmed with work and not explain in detail.
When Francesca was about to go to sleep one particular night, she felt an inexplicable burden in her heart.
When she was about to call the orphanage, she received a call. “Hello there. Long time no see!”
“Chrono?” Francesca could not help but shudder upon hearing his voice. He's not dead.
“Surprise, surprise.” Chrono chuckled. “Did you think I was dead? Oh, dear. I'm sorry to disappoint you.”
“What do you want?” Francesca asked icily.
“What can I do to you when you're under so many people's protection?” Chrono sneered sarcastically. “But I want you to listen to an explosion.”
Suddenly, a deafening bang emerged on the other end of the phone!
Francesca was thunderstruck. She quickened her pace, walked to the window, and saw fire and billowing smoke from a distance. Shoot, it's the orphanage!
“What do you think? Does it sound good?” Chrono let out a mirthless laugh. “Do you want to hear more?”
“You're crazy! You're crazy!” Francesca roared in agitation. “Leave the kids alone! Come after me if you dare!”
“I wanted to, but there are too many people protecting you. There's nothing I could do.” Chrono smirked. “By the way, how far are the other two orphanages from your place? Will you be able to hear the explosion?”
“Don't you dare—”
“Oh, someone's panicking now.” Chrono chuckled. “If you don't want that to happen, bring your passport, come to the airport, and look for me.”
