with you.”
Chapter 11
That’s all I said, and I took Dario back to the compartment.
As if nothing had happened, the music continued playing and the dancing continued.
A late night two months later.
I unexpectedly answered a call from Jordan, who was using an unfamiliar number.
The man, with a half–smile on his face, straightforwardly asked me if there had been a child between him and me in the past.
The man’s tone indicated that he was heavily intoxicated.
In addition, there were also some faint whirring noises coming from the phone.
I thought he must have seen the medical records that I didn’t take away.
There was nothing to hide about this matter.
