Adventure In The Dark
Tragedy 690 - No excuses
...***...
Dorothy hurried to step into her room. Arriving there, he met one of his assistants who was a nurse who greeted him as soon as he arrived in the room.
"Congratulations, doctor" he said with a smile.
"Morning. Lyla, can you turn on the television?"
"Oh, sure." Lyla took the remote not far from where she was. He immediately turned on the object which was live broadcasting a news broadcast on the television channel they used to watch. In the broadcast, Dorothy and Lyla hear the news that the children who had been kidnapped have returned to their homes safe and secure. Dorothy couldn't believe what was happening. Everything really happened beyond her expectations. For a moment he wondered what was really going on. Why Cato, Miles and Martin just let them go.
All those questions kept popping up, not only did Dorothy think that they might change their minds after the incident.
For a moment he was indeed relieved that the children had finally returned. However, Dorothy was still unable to calm down. Especially when he remembered about the appearance of Lucia. He was still wondering what really happened, and why Lucia was able to come back to life when Dorothy saw herself the child had died in the incident. Dorothy really felt that something was wrong, and she was absolutely certain that something was being hidden by Cato. Dorothy must figure out what really happened, and prove that her premonition was true.

Time pass. That day, he had canceled meeting with Tiana on the grounds that there was something he should investigate first. Actually Tiana asked to keep coming and meet with him to discuss what happened. But everything was messed up because of today's news. Dorothy couldn't possibly just stand by while her hunch said something wasn't right.
At night, after dinner. Meredith suddenly invites him and Cato to talk in the living room. There is something they want to tell them.
"Actually, we want to tell om and aunt that we want to go back to Indonesia."
"You're going home?" repeat Dorothy with a surprised face. Meredith just nodded her head in response.
"We've booked a ticket for the flight tomorrow morning. We've been here a long time, and we've also missed a lot of seminars. So we don't think there's any reason for us to stay here. Moreover, Lusia had also returned," muttered her husband.
"Are you sure of your decision?"
"Yes." Yeah."
"If it is your decision, we cannot ban it. We can only hope that you are safe until you arrive in Jakarta" Cato said. The man smiled at them.
