When I went downstairs for dinner that evening, I sensed that the atmosphere was not as intense as before. Instead, it was slightly low.
I looked at them, puzzled. "What's up with you guys?"
When Drover's eyes met me, he turned away immediately. He looked very off.
Even the usually cheerful Marius lowered his head. He coughed lightly at this moment as if to ease the unspeakable atmosphere. He glanced at me. "Come eat.”
This darned atmosphere.
Putting down my chopsticks, I looked at them. "Did something happen?"
I looked at them solemnly, waiting for their response.
"Forget it. Just tell Sis Wan about it. She’ll find out sooner or later anyway." Marius put down the tableware forcefully with a conflicted look in his gaze. It was directed at Drover.
Drover looked up at him before slowly turning to me. He opened his mouth, "Well..."
He only just started but nothing else followed.
My gaze fell on Marius, and I said, "Marius, you say it."
My eyes ended up landing on him, and he looked back at me, facing me solemnly. “I’ll tell you, but you have to be mentally prepared."
"Does it have something to do with me?" His words inevitably made my thoughts run wild.
Marius and Drover nodded simultaneously, then took out their mobile phones. "You should read this news first."
I leaned over and brought his phone over to read the news. "At 13:45 this afternoon, flight G60 from Country M to Whaldorf City encountered sudden turbulence. The pilot... was forced to make a sudden landing. It has been reported that five people have died and 30 are injured. More injured passengers are being accounted for..."
