Followed by the Chaotic Creature
chapter 118

"But me and Celena are still..."

"Yes, you managed to survive after being separated. We are so grateful for that. But, for Celena who had to live with just one kidney, her health continued to decline over time. He was often ill and his condition continued to weaken. We have to take care of Celena with extra care because her growing conditions are not normal."

"Because of that, mom was so caring for Celena, as if she was made of glass that was easily shattered."

"The reality is so. Your mother feels guilty about Celena's condition. As a result of our decision at that time, Celena may have to endure pain for the rest of her life. To make up for that guilt, your mother tried to love Celena as much as she could. But that doesn't mean he doesn't love you. You'll always have a place in his heart."

"Your mother still needs time to let go of that burden in her heart. So please understand him a little."

"I know dad. Now I can understand a little."

I understand that I am loved. Because mom and dad decided to sacrifice one of Celena's kidneys so I could live. And I didn't know that Celena had given some of her life to me.

Dad rubbed the wound on my face gently. " Tomorrow we'll have to go to the hospital to treat your wounds." I'm nodding.

The next day, two officers who were assigned to investigate the fire at my house, and a detective who was asked to help find my brother, came along to see us.

First, the officer said that the fire was triggered by a gas leak in the kitchen. Whether it was negligence or intentional, they were still investigating it.

We all recognized who the owner of the bracelet was, especially the mother who directly picked it up with trembling hands.

"We found this bracelet near the kitchen door, does it really belong to the missing lady's daughter?" Mother nodded weakly as she continued to stare at the bracelet.

"this is the only trace left behind by the mistress' daughter. And since no one saw her out of the house before the fire, it's more likely that your daughter, Celena, was killed in the fire."

"What is this thing? Just because you found my brother's bracelet in this house, doesn't mean he died in that fire. It could have been the bracelet that fell out when he went to the kitchen" I shouted in protest.

"True, the possibility exists, if we only find the necklace or bracelet. But, it was very unlikely if both objects fell in place and at the same time. It was likely that the owner had deliberately thrown away the jewelry, or something bad had already happened to the owner."

I was reminded of the earrings belonging to Celena that I found earlier. Realizing that the detective's words were true, my head ached like it had been hit by a beam. We are faced with the terrible reality of Celena's death.

"Maybe you're right, but shouldn't we find our daughter's body in the house after the fire? Wouldn't it be strange if you forced us to accept the fact that our daughter was dead in the fire, while her body or bones were never found. Is everything reduced to ashes?" My father's voice shook with the sadness. He could not even speak anymore, falling down while covering his face, while his shoulders shook violently.

"That's weird, we're still investigating and conducting searches all over the city. Unfortunately, our search has not been successful. No one saw your daughter leave the house before the fire. Unless someone tries to hide, then the only possibility is that your daughter has been killed in the fire." Said the detective.
