Chapter 188
At that moment, Josiah’s nerves snapped taut, as if his very soul was about to burst out of his body. He thought, “Sienna is inside” He dropped the baseball bat in his hand and sprinted towards the locker rOOIT
Josiah Yosef didn’t have time to ask him anything more. Josiah ran so fast that he left a trail of afterimages.
The locker room had turned into chaos
“What’s going on?”
The natural gas pipeline in the locker room has leaked, and some fool fit a cigarette!”
And so, the accident happened. The locker room lud been blown apart, with the door frame detached from the wall and the outer glass mall shattered into pieces. Smoke allowed, and a long lame roared out.
Josiah thought, Sienna Sienna is inside! Josiah, his face pale, pushed through the crowded people, about to charge in
“Josiah!” Yosef, who had arrived shortly after, was panting and desperately held him back and said, “What are you doing? You ran
“Lei go!” Josiah’s eyes were bloodshot, and he said, “Sienna is inside!”
“So what?” Yosef was taken aback for a moment, incredulously saying. “When did you become so irrational? What can you do by pong in or FUL trying to get yourself killed?”
“Look at that?”
“Heaven! It looks like someone was blown out.
“Heaven! Can you even recognize who it is?”
Hearing such conversations. Yosef couldn’t help but swallow hard, feeling a pang in his h heart. He thought, ‘Could it be. Sienna
you going to let go
Josiah’s muscles were all tensed up, and he gritted his teeth, glaring at Yosef and saying, “Aren’t y
Yosef was intimidated by his glare and let go. Suddenly, his gaze stopped, and he saw a familiar figure. His hand, which had just let go, quickly pulled Josiah back.
“Yosef!” Josiah was furious and said, “Domn it..”
“Quick, look over there?” Yosef didn’t have time to explain and urgently pointed in a direction, saying, “Sienna, it’s Sienna?“
sream cone, standing on her
Josiah was taken aback, his gaze somewhat slow. Through the crowd, about ten meters away, Sienna was holding an ice cream tiptoes and stretching her neck to look inside.
Hearing people discussing sering someone blown out, she frowned sympathetically and asked the person next to her. “What about the fire department?”
“They’ve already been called, but it takes time, right?”
“Hoon”
As they spoke, the sound of fire trucks could be heard approaching, getting kouder and closer,
“Here they are!”
The fire department’s here!”
The stadium staff came to maintain order, saying, “Everyour, please step back and don’t interfere with the fire department’s rescue efforts!“
Sienna followed the crowd, stepping back hit by bit.
“Sienna“” Amidst the noise, someone was calling out to her in an urgent i struggling to push through the crowd towards her
tone. She turned her head and saw Joush, dressed in his baseball uniform
“Sienna” He raised his arm high, waving it so she could see him, and said, “Siemmat Stand there and wait for me!”
1/3
He raised his hand, as if to embrace her, but hesitated, leaving it hanging in mid–air. His gaze swept over her face and body, inch by inch. He asked uncertainly, “Are you okay”
Sienna blinked, not quite understanding. She thought, Wasn’t it obvious?
She said, “Yes, I’m fine.”
The man looked at her, his expression indescribable, whether it was happiness or sadness.
Sienna wasn’t quite sure, and she pointed at the ruined locker room and asked, “Did you th
you think I…”“”
“Where did you run off to!” Suddenly, Josiah shouted at Sienna. He said. “Tell me! I told you to wait for me in the locker room, didn’t I?”
“I wanted an ice cream, so I went to get one.” After answering. Sienna suddenly realized and said, “You… you’re not angry because I wasn’t blown up. are you?
Before she finished speaking, Josiah leaned down and finally embraced her. Sienna was bewildered. She thought, “What’s going on?
“Great!” He cupped the back of her head with his palm, pressing her deeply into his chest, and said. “It’s good to buy ice cream, very good!” Because she went to buy an ice cream, she escaped this disaster. His heart was pounding, and at this moment, Josiah felt like his heart had returned to his chest. He came back to life! He murmured with lingering fear, “You’re okay. Fortunately, you’re fine…”
Every word fell into Sienna’s ears. Sienna was full of questions. She thought, ‘Is this guy having a nervous breakdown, or is he schizophrenic?” But she didn’t have time to think more. The man leaned on her, getting heavier and heavier. Sienna couldn’t hold him up and pushed him. She said, “Josiah Get up! You’re too heavy”
“I don’t care. Josiah had no intention of getting up, clinging to her like a brat, and saying, “My legs are weak. I can’t stand.”
“Weak legs!” Sienna didn’t believe this at all. She said, “You have weak legs! Come on, get up!”
“I won’t.” Josiah held her, his head resting on her shoulder. He said, “You little ungrateful one, don’t you know why my legs are weak?”
“…” Sienna was about to say that I know what. She heard Josiah whisper in her ear, “You scared me to death, let me recover… hold me, hold me a little longer.
In an instant, Sienna stopped moving. The surrounding noise seemed to be blocked out for a moment. She thought, What does he mean by his words? It’s not good!
She wondered, ‘He recently seems to always unintentionally reveal some ambiguous meanings, as if he cares about me. Is it my illusion! If it’s true, it’s really terrible!
Suddenly, Josiah lifted his head and pointed at the ice cream cone in her hand and said, “What’s this?”
Sienna held it up and said, “An ice cream cone, of course?” She thought, doesn’t he recognize it?
“Hmm,” Josiah nodded, then suddenly lowered his head and took a big bite.
When he looked up again, Sienna saw that the ice cream cone she had bought at the store near the entrance was just a ‘cone‘ left. Her anger flared up, and she glared at Josiah, saying, “What are you doing?”
Josiali laughed loudly and ran away.
“Don’t run! Josiah, give me back my ice cream! If you want to eat, can’t you buy your own! Ah!?” she said.
“Huy, I’ll buy for you!” Josiah ran in front, spreading his arms wide, and said, “I’ll buy the whole store for you!” This store had a life–saving grace to

“Yes,” Hervey said, “All children around three years old, within half a year before and after, are within the scope of our investigation. So far, we haven’t found any children who meet the conditions.”

“I see.” Howard nodded, letting out a soft sigh, “If we can’t find them in orphanages and such places, we need to expand the scope. They might have been adopted.”
“Yes, Hervey said.
“By the way.” Josiah remembered another matter and said, “Any progress on that matter!”
