All Too Late

Chapter 405 If I Could Turn Back Time 

The second Kathleen stepped out of the ward, her phone chimed. She fished out the phone and glanced at the screen,only to find a virtual phone number. Tch! Trying to play games with me, huh? She instantly hit the answer key and put the phone near her ear.

“Your daughter is with me, Kathleen.Come to the old campus where you attended high school if you want to see her alive.You should know where that is.”

 A machine-like voice sounded over the phone. The other party ended the call abruptly right after finishing the sentence. At this, Kathleen descended into a moment of deep thought as silence ensued. Prior to that, the old campus of her previous high school had been emptied out. That place had already been put on the waiting list to be demolished and then rebuilt. How interesting for her to set our meeting there, of all places.

 Immediately, Kathleen made her way downstairs and drove off in her car. It was already the dead of night. The security guard at the front gate was seen crashing out as he sprawled on his desk. Tiptoeing toward the small door beside the front gate, Kathleen gently pushed it open and strode inside. 

Without deliberation, she made a beeline for the school building. Right then, her phone rang once more. She picked up the call right away and questioned, “Where are you?” “Why don't you make a guess?” 

An icy voice was heard on the other end of the line. Her eyebrows knitted to a knot of displeasure at that.

Scanning the vicinity, she marched toward the fourth floor of the building. Once she reached the fourth floor, she walked to a wasted classroom. That very classroom was the one she had been to during her final year. There Desiree was, lying on the floor right in the center of the classroom.

Her body was strapped with bombs. No one else could be found inside but her. Kathleen rushed over to her daughter's side and carried the latter in her arms. 

“Desi,” called out Kathleen softly.

“Mommy's here.”

 Sadly, Desiree remained unconscious and unresponsive. Touching her daughter's body, Kathleen reckoned that Desiree must’ve been drugged with sedatives. As she held Desiree in her arms,she tried to remove the bombs that had encircled her daughter's body. Alas, the bombs began to emit a series of beeping sounds. Kathleen was scared out of her wits and dared not continue her reckless act. 

At that juncture, the ringtone played from her phone. Tapping the answer button, she was all ready to listen to what the other party had to say.
