Chapter 38: Fragmented (3)
It might have sounded to you all like I said the people survived. The passengers with relieved faces began to leave. Even the first-time passenger, whoa had never seen me before, left. The man who had been revived started to walk out with the support of others, looking much better than before. Thank goodness.
“Thank you.”
I heard a murmured gratitude from the man as he passed by, which made my heart flutter slightly. But I tried to suppress it. After all, I had done nothing. I just sat there, crying in a panic. It was Liam who killed the monster and saved these people. Yet, the man thanked me. Did I even deserve to hear those words?
“If you hadn’t brought him here, he wouldn’t be here now.”
Liam Moore, looking a bit more stern, responded while patting my shoulder. It was because of that.
If there was one person I managed to save, it would be that man. It might seem insignificant compared to what Liam did, but still… it was a relief that none of these people had died. Finally, the tension eased, and I managed a small smile. Yes, let’s think of it that way. Be content that everyone is safe.
Then, very belatedly, I remembered something that had been pushed to the back of my mind. Why had I forgotten so much in such a short time?
Lucita’s request!
Right. The black market job wasn’t over yet.
