“You think she'd miss that chance?" Irene said cheerfully. Her mother liked Piggy a lot. She always wanted a grandchild, so she even forced
Ivan to foster Piggy. Ivan was almost thirty, but he was still single.
Then Irene Looked at Debbie with a playful smile.
“Hey, I have a great idea. Marry my brother. He's single, and loves Piggy. He—"
Before she could finish, Debbie covered her mouth.
"Enough of that. I just called your brother to ask him to investigate Piggy's...dad. I have to go back to Alorith."
Irene's eyes widened. She asked with the utmost care, “Isn't he dead?"
Once Debbie had been drunk and told her Piggy's father was dead.
Fury lived in Debbie's eyes.
"He's still alive. His dad had me fooled, the old goat!"
Irene was rendered speechless.
Debbie wasted no time and dropped Piggy off at the Walker family's house. After saying goodbye to Irene's mother, she was off to the airport.
By the time she disembarked, it was 6 p.m. She wore a mask, a baseball cap and sunglasses so nobody would recognize her. She went completely incognito. She hailed a taxi and had the driver take her to the hotel she booked.
After taking her Luggage inside, she looked longingly at the bed, but decided to go to the Murphy family's house right away. She could sleep later.
Gail was the one who answered the door. Her mouth widened in shock.
Debbie had been gone for three years! That was when Debbie heard
Lucinda's voice, "Gail, who is it?"
Gail thought she must be daydreaming, so she closed the door and answered, "Nobody."
The doorbell rang again. Lucinda stared at a confused Gail and asked,
"Who is it?"
"Mom, I think it's Debbie..."
When she heard the name, Lucinda jumped to her feet and rushed to the door. It had been too long.
"Debbie?!"
“Mom, why are you so excited? When you tried your best to find her and even went to Zugrurg to do that, did she reach out? No. Instead she hid. If she didn't want to be found, she should stay lost," Gail complained.
Three years ago, Debbie left Alorith, leaving only a note as explanation. They hadn't heard a peep out of her, but then got the news that Debbie was a popular singer in Zugrurg. Lucinda went there to look for her, but Debbie was nowhere to be found.
