Chapter 78: Canada
I continued, "Casi... I really don’t know what to say. Technically, I should report this to the police. And I have to call to let them know we found you. That’s the perfect occasion."
"No! Please, Max. You don’t understand my situation."
"Oh. I think I understand your situation quite well. Did you already want to steal my stuff back at the Yacht?"
"No, no, no, Max," Casi looked at me with pleading eyes.
"Ugh... okay, Casi. Tell me why you argued with your father. Who would leave their child in another country suddenly, without a word?"
"My father... when I talked to him, it seemed like he changed a lot... I mean his personality. It felt very strange talking to him, so I asked if something was wrong. And he took it badly."
"And that’s it? You must be kidding."
"No. That’s not it. For the next few days, I called him, but he said such things that I suggested he go to the hospital. I thought he might have some health issues, but he insisted everything was fine... and then he said to stop calling him."
Now I was truly shocked. What was all this about? It didn’t seem strange to her why she didn’t go back to Canada?
"Casi. Quick decision. We’re flying to Canada. To see what’s happening with your father."
"No! My father hates me. Then I tried messaging him, but he barely responded. Last time, he replied two months ago, to my question if I could come, and he just said ’no.’"
