Chapter 49: Shameful Chat Logs

Left with no other choice, Yukio excused herself to the bathroom, resolving to take matters into her own hands.

And she remained there for a full hour.

After an hour had passed, Yuki grew increasingly uneasy, glancing worriedly toward the bathroom. Her mother had been in there for far too long. Could something have happened?

"Mother... she's alright, right?" Yuki asked, her voice filled with concern.

"It's alright, Aunt Yukio's health has improved significantly. There must be a reason she's staying in there. I'll check on her; you just keep reading." Roland said, but instead of going to the bathroom door, he pulled out his phone and sent a message to Aunt Yukio through a social media app.

Yukino was puzzled as to why Roland would use social media to communicate when they were so close, but she trusted him. Perhaps her mother had some unspoken reason for staying inside. It was best to leave it to him.
