"I noticed that after a whole day, the wallet never got found. I got worried, and I was afraid that I might get angered by my parents. I got so… desperate.
And I just… fabricated a lie."

What…?
My brain turned blank upon hearing that, because I already knew the answer. And seeing the shocked face worn on my face, Emil looked like she wanted to cry.
"I… I don't want to get yelled at by my mom… I already fanned the incident so widely, and I was ashamed of everyone because it never got found.
So… I told everyone that there is an important document."
Emil finally revealed, and she took a glance at my face. I was in too deep of a shock that I could not form a proper expression, and she closed her teary eyes.
