Chapter 318

I didn’t necessanly have to personally pick up Hannah’s parents, but I wanted to see where Oscar grew up.

At night, I slept in his room. It was clean and simple, with a few photos of Oscar from his student days. I stared at these pictures for a long time as my eyes got all misty

That night, I dreamed of Oscar He was working part time in a bar, and Lasked him ‘Oscar, how have you been?”

Oscar gave me a bright and cheerful smile, his voice still clear “Ms. Finch, I’m doing alright. There’s no need to worry about me

When I woke up. I found my pillow wet with tears, and outside the door, I heard the voice of Oscar’s mother, Mia Morse. ‘Ms. Finch, time for breakfast”

“Ainight” I replied and got up

I had planned to leave after breakfast, but before I could, someone came to see Oscars father, Henry Morse, to discuss some land sale matters I didn’t understand the details, so I had to wait.

I ended up waiting all day, so my plan to return to Rosemont was delayed by another day.

“Maam, I’m fine. I’m here to fetch Oscar’s parents.” I was a bit sleepy, but this call woke me up, and soon my eyes were wide open as I listened to Faith’s voice.

How could Faith be calling me from Neil’s phone?
