Chapter 97

Since the chief had already said so, Veronica could only accept the fact calmly.

After all, this was not the city where they had plenty of choices to choose from.

She took out her towel and body wash from her luggage and proceeded to head out to the pond by the entrance with a flashlight. Sitting on the stone used for washing clothes, Veronica dipped her foot in the cool water before swinging her legs, making the water splash about.

Ribbit, ribbit, ribbit.

The sound of the frogs croaking paired with the grasshoppers chirping made for a relaxing scene.

Suddenly, small balls of green light appeared in the dark, to which Veronica looked at dazily.

When she was young, fireflies were a common sight. However, now that she was an adult, she rarely saw them again, so she didn‘t expect such a large number of them here.

Splash.

Veronica jumped into the pond and took a satisfying bath since there was nobody around in the dead of night. –

The pond at the entrance was deep with cobblestones underneath while its water all came from the mountain.

After swimming for a while, she took a bath as she sat on the washing stone with soaked clothes before washing her hair. Basking in the night wind, she felt a tad bit cold yet she wasn‘t drowsy at all and didn‘t want to sleep either.

Crack.

The sound caused Veronica to turn her head behind as she saw a man lighting a cigarette. From the dim light illuminated by the lighter, she recognized at once that the man was Matthew.

“When did you arrive?”

Was he actually peeping on her when she was taking a bath?

Although she was wearing activewear that consisted of a pair of shorts and a T–shirt, she didn‘t accidentally reveal anything. Rather, it was because he already knew that she was there and still chose to linger around.
