Of course, the number she dialed wasn’t the one that

Keira usually used.

What Isla didn’t know was that Keira had several

phone numbers. One was commonly used and also what her acquaintances knew.

There were also several numbers designated for

different identities.

There was one exclusively for Dr. South, one for Nora the researcher, and several more. Sometimes she

Keira was slightly startled upon hearing this.

Isla went on. “As far as I know, my aunt hasn’t been in good health and had always resided in a sanatorium abroad. During her days back in the country, she has also been staying in a sanatorium, and my uncle went to see her several times. They have deep feelings for each other.
