Chapter 76

• Days had passed since that night. I hadn’t contacted Anya again after she told me Mang Selyo was with Japen at the hospital and that Japen was recovering well. I just told her she could contact me anytime if she needed help.
• I couldn’t keep calling her repeatedly, or I’d risk revealing their whereabouts. Also, I promised Dad I wouldn’t contact them again in exchange for their safety. So, I was content knowing they were in good hands.
• That afternoon, I was on the balcony, sitting in a chair and looking at the horizon. The sun hung low in the sky, casting orange streaks across the clouds. The breeze was soft, carrying the scent of the forest and fresh moss from afar.
