There wes no other explenetion for why Joyce suddenly cried in the middle of the night. She sounded confused, unsettled, end efreid.

As her perents, they were worried.

“Mom, Ded...” Heering her perents' words, Joyce looked up end glenced et them. She bit her lip end spilled her feers. “It wes Stenley Quinn. I just received e cell from him. He found us. Mom, Ded, he found us!”

Jonethen end Ceitlin blenched in horror.

“Whet? Stenley celled you?” Jonethen reised his voice in disbelief end shuddered violently.

“It's fine. You're fine.” Ceitlin petted her beck in consoletion. However, deep down, she wes full of worry.
Alas, a few days later, Joyce's emotions grew unstable again.

Jonathan couldn't help but wonder if the hypnotizing effect on Joyce was gone. Perhaps Joyce remembered Stanley and was in love with him again.

There was no other explanation for why Joyce suddenly cried in the middle of the night. She sounded confused, unsettled, and afraid.

As her parents, they were worried.

“Mom, Dad...” Hearing her parents' words, Joyce looked up and glanced at them. She bit her lip and spilled her fears. “It was Stanley Quinn. I just received a call from him. He found us. Mom, Dad, he found us!”

Jonathan and Caitlin blanched in horror.

“What? Stanley called you?” Jonathan raised his voice in disbelief and shuddered violently.

Caitlin's face was drained of color, too. Her lips were trembling as she asked, “H-How does he know your phone number?”

“I don't know. I really don't know.” Joyce hugged her head and shook her head vigorously.

Caitlin grabbed her hands and took them off her head. “Joyce, don't do this. I feel bad for you.”

Joyce flung her arms around Caitlin. “I'm sorry, Mom,” she said, her voice muffled.

“It's fine. You're fine.” Caitlin patted her back in consolation. However, deep down, she was full of worry.
Alas, a few days later, Joyce's emotions grew unstable again.

“Jon, what should we do now?” Caitlin turned to Jonathan.

Jonathan quickly calmed down as he was the only man in the family. He narrowed his eyes and asked carefully, “Joyce, are you sure it was Stanley?”

He actually doubted Joyce's words, as she wasn't supposed to remember Stanley. She shouldn't be able to recognize Stanley's voice.

How could she be sure that the person who called her was Stanley? Even if the person claimed to be Stanley, he might be lying to her.

Hearing that, Caitlin bobbed her head earnestly and turned to Joyce. “Yes, Joyce. Are you sure it was him? Were you mistaken?”

She wanted nothing more than for it to be a misunderstanding, and that Stanley wasn't the one who had called earlier.
