“As long as you tell me the truth, then I promise to do my best.”
Following a long pause, Fabiola finally replied, “…I know Mommy sent you to test me! Don’t worry, as long as she doesn’t beat me up again, I promise not to run away, if my name isn’t Fabiola!”
Naturally, her response startled the man! She was… afraid of being tested? How many times had she failed to escape? Also, wasn’t Fabiola the name of that long-lost child…?! Overjoyed, the man was just about to explain the situation to her when all of a sudden, he heard approaching footsteps… And after gritting his teeth, he quickly whispered, “…Take good care of yourself. I’ll definitely save you soon!”
Watching as the man blended in with the shadows, Fabiola couldn’t help but frown. Did… that mean that he really was a good guy! This was great…! She’d finally be saved soon…!
Speaking of that man, once he was in a safe area, he quietly contacted Ian and said, “Mr. Frankston? The child-”
“I’ve checked again, and he definitely isn’t from the island. Honestly, I don’t even think that it’s a boy, so… Please check again.”
“…About that… She just told me that she’s been tested multiple times like this before, and yes, she’s apparently a girl called Fabiola!”
Nearly spilling his tea, the wide-eyed Ian replied, “You… You’re sure?!”
“I am. Hold on, I’ll send you a picture that I took of her!”
