Chapter 97

"Alright, children…" He took a deep breath. "Nothing to see here. Gary simply collapsed after being in the sun for too long." He explained.

"N-no!" One boy reacted. "T-t-that's not what happened! I-it's her!" He accusingly pointed at Anna as if he saw the entire thing. "T-t-that was her! She was trying to chase him!" His voice trembled but he confidently pointed her out.

"Now, now, Patrick!" Isagani clicked his tongue. "It is bad to point fingers at someone, especially when you hadn't scene what really happened." He warned.

"I don't have to!" The boy insisted. "L-look at him, Kuya! He even soiled his pants! I knew Gary long enough to know that he shits and pees in his pants when terrified." He said.

The rest of the children murmured and whispered behind the boy while pointing at the unconscious body. Isagani clicked his tongue and told them to prepare the folding bed as he tried to figure out how to lift the soiled child.
