I walked down the first-floor hallway and found two kids sitting on the bench near the entrance while holding a handful of sweets and snacks. They looked happy, and then I remembered that I had yet to give the sweets and snacks that I handed to Chloe to the kids.
However, it seemed like Chloe had handed them to the kids, and she probably asked Tina to help her.
When I passed the kids, they unexpectedly turned at me and smiled brightly.
"Ah! Brother Vincent!" The shorter girl shouted, followed by the taller girl.
"You were right! You've come back, brother Vincent!"
When I heard their squeals, I realized that I had yet to put my mask back on. I quickly put my index finger on my mouth and said, "Shh! It's a secret that I am here, okay?"
"Un! We can keep a secret, right!"
"Yeah!"
The two of them nodded their heads excitedly.
