With unwavering certainty, Lysander said, “I’m an adult, just like your mom and dad, so I have the right to– go in. Please step aside.”

Rhizone firmly blocked the clinic door. Even though Lysander was desperate enough to force her there was no guarantee that she could overpower the child.

way in,

While Lysander was in a state of panic and at a loss, another figure came running over. It was none other than the village chief, Blaine, with his head of white hair.

Before the break of dawn, Blaine, advanced in age as he was, was running frantically like that. It was certain that something grave must’ve occurred.

Lysander brushed past Rhizone and asked worriedly, “Josiah Guerra? Is that you?”

“It’s me.” Blaine, after all, was an old man. He was already panting heavily after the short run and struggling to speak. Yet, upon seeing Lysander’s anxious expression and the wound on her cheek, he expressed his deep regret. “Rhizone and Nilou told me something had happened to you and Mr. Guerra, so I came to check.”

His words carried a palpable sense of hesitation, skillfully dodging her inquiries without giving a direct

answer.

Lysander’s hand, which was resting on the table, suddenly clenched. She was so absorbed that she didn’t even notice her nails digging into her palm. “Did you also come from… the lakeside?”

Upon seeing Blaine arrive, Rhizone expressed his gratitude and stepped away from the door.

Blaine spoke while shaking his head, his voice filled with lingering fear and poignant regret. “Yes, the commotion last night was too serious. I was woken up and thought it would be the same as before, just Laying low would do the trick. However, not long after everyone had stayed away, the police and some people came looking for you at the village entrance. Everyone then went to the lake, where the turmoil was even more intense. There were bloodstains on the path and the boat by the lake, and even the surrounding ground, but we didn’t know the situation further inside. The police had set up warning tape around the area, claiming they needed to preserve evidence, so they forbade anyone to disrupt the scene.”

The villagers, having limited exposure to the outside world, held a natural reverence for public officials. When they were told to keep their distance, no one dared to step closer.

Rhizone knew about the situation of the lotus cluster in the lake better than anyone else, having been the earliest to arrive and having guided the police and Carol. He realized the warning tape had been set up nearby once he returned, making the situation increasingly tense

Warning tape was something that was typically found at a crime scene.

Lysander didn’t sleep a wink the previous night. She was either running around or trying to think of a solution anxiously. Her heart had tensed up from stress, and she asked with bated breath, “Mr. Alvarez, did they say anything else? Or was anyone stopped at the scene?”

“Those jerks ran incredibly fast. Not a single one of them was caught.”

Every time Blaine mentioned the thugs, he would get so wound up that his jaw would clench. He took a moment to compose himself before continuing, “However, the police called me, Alan, and a few families.
