âWhy the rush? What if thereâs an aftershock?â
âBut the worlds have already merged.
There shouldnât be any other accidents, right?â
The servants were loud.
They knew less about the situation in the other world than I did.
Naturally, I couldnât expect any useful information from them.
While I was listening to their arguing, I noticed Andrew rushing by.
He appeared quite anxious and quickly left the manor.
A sense of urgency gripped me, and I hastened to follow Andrew.
âMr.
Pierce!â
I raised my voice, hoping he would hear me.
At this moment, Andrew was the only person I could get information from.
I couldnât let this chance
slip by.
My call stopped Andrew in his tracks.
He turned and looked at me, his frown easing slightly.
âDebra, good evening.
Did the earthquake wake you up?â
I nodded, gesturing towards the other world, and inquired, âHave the two worlds completely merged?â
Andrew glanced in the direction I pointed and answered, âI suppose so.
Iâm heading over to handle it now.
It caught many of us off guard; we still donât fully understand what has occurred.
â
âI understandâ¦â
Anxiously, I pressed my lips together and clutched the baby tighter.
I was itching to find out more about the other world and what was happening over there.
After hesitating for a while, I decided not to mince words.
âMr.
Pierce, after you handle things, could you let me know whatâs happening in the other world? Iâm really curious about it.
â
Hearing my words, Andrew fixed his gaze on me for several seconds.
His eyes held an emotion I couldnât decipher.
He inquired earnestly, âDebra, did you suddenly remember something, and is that why you want to know what happened?â
I shook my head to refute Andrewâs assumption.
âNo.
My memory is still blank as before.
Thatâs exactly why Iâm eager to learn whatâs happening there.
Maybe itâll help jog my memory.
â
Andrew seemed lost in his thoughts for a moment.
He looked towards the other world and then back at me.
After a pause, he consented and said, âOkay, I understand.
But itâs very late now.
Why donât you head back and rest? Iâll be occupied until late.
Iâll let you know as soon as I have any information.
â
âOkay, thank you.
â
Andrew nodded courteously and walked away without looking back after my response.
I watched him vanish from sight and then made my way back to my room, feeling uneasy.
