Kapitel 48: Unexpected Call From Him

Everything was not within my expectations.

As I walked towards my room, I could feel everything going out of my hands. Many things were starting to fall apart with that single message.

Reaching my room, I plopped onto the bed face-first. Although I told Alice to calm down earlier, I myself had some worries about this. How much did Christopher know about this? And, how much would it be safe to rely on him?
