“I looked into it carefully too, and coincidentally, Joseph was indeed among those kids. But you weren’t.”
Lucas looked at Aurora’s frustrated expression, and his heart ached with her.
“And then?”
Aurora continued, “Later on, while recalling things, I realized you weren’t one of the five children at all. Even the principal had no idea you were there.
“So, no wonder I couldn’t find anything about you back then. You didn’t exist in any records.”
Lucas froze.
Back then, he had only passed by that school.
The auditorium was a place he’d always liked. It was funded by his family, so he didn’t need to check in with anyone when he stayed there.
Not even the principal knew.
That was why the principal always assumed there were only five students involved—he never even realized Lucas had been there
But by coincidence, the spot where he was resting wasn’t far from where Aurora had been standing.
That was how they ended up falling together, with buildings piled between them.
Those things had all fallen from the upper floors.
But as for everything that happened, especially that accident, Lucas himself couldn’t explain it either.
He didn’t even know how to talk about it.
After all, if it had been a natural disaster, only that auditorium collapsed.
No human had the power to bring down a fully constructed auditorium like that.
And before it collapsed, those strange phenomena were real.
Everyone saw them.
There was no reason to lie.
Later on, his family didn’t disclose anything to avoid leaking the news.
After all, at that time, he was the sole heir of the family.
If the incident got out, it would definitely affect their stock prices.
Considering everything, it was as if he’d never been to that school
Which was why, when Aurora tried to investigate, she couldn’t find anything about him.
It really was just an incredible coincidence.
Lucas rubbed his nose and said, “I really ended up there by accident. It was pure
coincidence.
“My family took me away right after. I didn’t stay long. I passed out after being rescued.”
Hearing that, Aurora didn’t think much of it.
It made sense to faint, since there would’ve been a long period of oxygen deprivation underground.

Aurora froze on the spot.

She truly hadn’t expected it.
Aurora couldn’t hold it in and burst out laughing. “Are you scared or something?”
