With a quickened pace, Thalassa arrived at the daycare center. The clock was now pushing past seven in the evening.
The gate of the daycare was locked and there wasn't a soul in sight.
Where could the children be?
Were they missing?
A string of unsettling thoughts raced through her mind. Thalassa's heart pounded, causing a dizzy spell. Short of breath and weak in the knees, she tried to calm herself down.
She mustn't panic.
With an effort, Thalassa steadied her emotions and pulled out her phone to call the teacher.
"Camille, I'm at the daycare now, but there's no one here," Thalassa said, trying to keep her voice steady despite her inner turmoil.
"The kids were picked up by their grandma. Didn't they make it home?" Camille's voice came from the other end of the line.
Hearing this, Thalassa let out a sigh of relief, "Sorry for the confusion. I just haven't made it home yet. If their grandma picked them up, then it’s all good. Thanks, Camille."
"You're welcome."
Hanging up the phone, Thalassa was about to call for a cab to Vibrant Oasis Residences when she remembered the necklace she was wearing.
With the necklace on her, he would let her go wherever she wanted.
The daycare was close to her current residence.
Thalassa decided not to rush home; instead, she went to her rented place, removed the necklace, and left it in the entryway.
