The next morning.

It was dawn. Even without opening the window, one could hear the sound of the wind and tree branches fighting outside. There was a high chance that they were comparable.

After two days of torture, Chris resigned himself to fate and got up from the bed. He pressed the edge button of his phone. The phone screen showed 5:01 a.m. The alarm clock was set to 5 a.m..

It should take a minute to open his eyes and reach for his phone.

Chris had already deeply understood that no matter what, he had to get up from his bed. His mother would use all tricks to wake him up each day. It was better to be more self-aware and get up himself.

Chris had just dressed up and was about to leave when Angie pushed the door open in her pajamas. When she saw that her son was already dressed, she could not help but praise him."Oh, your comprehension realm is good. You've improved. If you had been like this earlier, would | have kept an eye on you?" Angie said as she thought, 'Was there a need for me to accompany you to doit? Upon hearing this, Chris pursed his lips and did not say anything. It was not voluntary, to begin with. Today was the third day of the morning run. "Alright, go back to sleep. If you're willing, I'll bring you along." As soon as he finished speaking, Angie quickly left her son's room. She refused, "No need. Your father has something to talk to me. I'll leave first. Good luck." Chris was speechless The cold wind was as heartless as ever. The lonely Chris ran around the neighborhood again and again. After running for 20 minutes, Chris turned around and looked behind. He wondered why the woman who ran every day was not here today.

‘Could it be that she had reconciled with her boyfriend? As expected, she had fallen out of love and was out to vent her emotions.’ Chris, who had nothing better to do, made wild guesses. After making a lot of guesses, he guessed more than ten reasons. In the end, he shook his head with a sneer. ‘Am | out of my mind? What does it have to do with me? Whatever." Anyway, he would be fine after running for half a month.

Even after Chris finished running and going home, he did not see another person. Before he entered, he even glanced at the villa in the courtyard.

There was no one in the living room. He had forgotten to turn on the heater when he went out. He raised his hand to look at the time. It was 5:40. He didn't have surgery to do in the morning, so he decided to catch up on sleep.

Chris arranged for himself and prepared to go upstairs to take a shower and sleep.

At around 8:30 p.m., in a room in a house in the same neighborhood, the woman touched under the pillow with her eyes closed.

She held the phone in her hand with her eyes closed and raised her hand to clench her fist. She knocked her forehead, but she was not very sober.
