CHAPTER 108 What is the Connection Between Panny and Anna?

  I stood silently in the hallway, my eyes fixed on the slightly ajar door where Anna and Panny were inside. A whirlwind of questions swirled in my head, making my heart race. The scene I had just witnessed didn't seem normal.

  "What connection could Panny and Anna have?" I wondered, suspicion rising with every passing second. A thought flashed through my mind, sending a shiver down my spine. "Could Anna be planning to adopt Panny?" But that didn't make sense. Anna had never shown any interest in children, let alone suddenly appearing here in secret.

  But if it wasn't out of care, then why would Anna want to meet Panny? This thought quickly led me to another, colder and more troubling theory: "Could Anna be planning to use Panny for some scheme?" Maybe she was exploiting the boy for a purpose I couldn't yet grasp. I recalled Anna's calculating and detached demeanor in our past encounters, and the very idea made me uneasy.
