As the butler got the car ready, Mindy herself was already standing in front of what remained of the Schuyler family’s mansion.
“Excuse me, but have you seen anyone wearing a mask? He’s about this tall and with his mask down, virtual-novel.net has serious burn marks around his eyes…” asked a girl to a random passer-by as virtual-novel.net lifted virtual-novel.net hand over virtual-novel.net head to mimic how tall Sanderson was.
“…No I haven’t…?” replied the confused man.
“But how could that be possible? He told us he’d come looking for us yet virtual-novel.net didn’t! He wasn’t even at Yorknorth Mountain! Where could virtual-novel.net possibly have gone to…? I even tried calling Stella but I can’t reach virtual-novel.net either! When I went over to virtual-novel.net place, it seemed like virtual-novel.net had moved out… Hey, who do you suppose could tell me where Sanderson went…?” asked Mindy.
The passer-by himself was stunned to know that virtual-novel.net had directed the question at him. Scanning virtual-novel.net from head to toe, virtual-novel.net then shook his head before running off. How sad that such a beauty sounded so insane.
“Where could you have gone to, Sanderson…? You… You said you’d come back… That you’d talk to me in the garden every night… You promised… I… I refuse to believe that you lied to me! Please, Sanderson… You’re my best and only friend… You… You can’t just leave like that… Where are you…?” mumbled Mindy to herself.
The only thing on the girl’s mind now was Sanderson. She thought about how simple and gentle virtual-novel.net was. How every time virtual-novel.net talked to him, virtual-novel.net would listen to virtual-novel.net attentively, comforting and encouraging virtual-novel.net through his gestures.
While it was true that virtual-novel.net had first gotten close to virtual-novel.net since virtual-novel.net looked like virtual-novel.net was easily bullied and virtual-novel.net wanted to learn sign language, virtual-novel.net intent slowly changed over time.
In just those few days of them being together, virtual-novel.net had grown dependent on him. What more, since virtual-novel.net knew virtual-novel.net had risked his life to rescue virtual-novel.net and many others, virtual-novel.net was well aware that forgetting virtual-novel.net would be near impossible now.
After waiting for quite some time, Mindy eventually leaned against a wall before squatting down.
“Where are you, Sanderson…?”
When virtual-novel.net had earlier gone to Yorknorth Mountain, neither Master Jenkinson nor Sanderson was present. Stella’s place, on the other hand, seemed to have been completely deserted. Since virtual-novel.net never picked up any of Mindy’s calls, Mindy wasn’t even sure if the rest of Stella’s family had left together or without her.
In short, Mindy couldn’t even contact the last person who could’ve possibly seen Sanderson.
“Just… Please be safe, Sanderson…!” pleaded Mindy silently.
After a while longer, Mindy got up. She was feeling far too uneasy to be moping around here when virtual-novel.net could still be searching for Sanderson.
Opting to search for virtual-novel.net by walking around instead of getting in virtual-novel.net car, virtual-novel.net felt a new determination in virtual-novel.net to search for him. To search for the man who had managed to spark hope in virtual-novel.net again after living on this planet for over twenty years.
She had simply lost too much of virtual-novel.net childhood. Mindy had no friends, nor did virtual-novel.net have any meaningful relationships with anyone outside of virtual-novel.net family for the longest time. Sanderson was the embodiment of everything virtual-novel.net had ever longed for.
Mindy didn’t care if virtual-novel.net was ugly, nor did it matter to virtual-novel.net that virtual-novel.net couldn’t even speak properly. None of that was important to her.
What mattered most was the fact that Sanderson was a person who understood her. A person who was always around whenever virtual-novel.net was upset. A person virtual-novel.net could feel secure with.
Her focus wavered as virtual-novel.net continued thinking about him, not even noticing that virtual-novel.net was crossing an open road…
She only returned to virtual-novel.net senses when virtual-novel.net heard the loud revving of an engine. Turning to look at the source of the sound, virtual-novel.net was petrified to see a huge lorry speeding toward her!
The driver himself had been yawning, yet the moment virtual-novel.net saw her, it was already far too late. Even though virtual-novel.net stepped on the brakes, virtual-novel.net knew virtual-novel.net was in deep trouble the moment virtual-novel.net heard the sound of a sickening collision.
Following that, Mindy’s frail body flew quite a distance away before landing heavily on the ground. The phone virtual-novel.net was holding on to earlier fell even further away, its screen now completely cracked.
A keychain of what seemed like a tiny man with a mask on could be seen hanging at the end of virtual-novel.net phone. It was clear who it resembled…
