It looked like Madam Mallory's plan to break them up had failed...

Nina felt a dull pain in her heart at the thought of this. She lay down on her bed and pondered why she felt this. Had she not stopped being in love with Percy?

Why did she feel heartbroken when she saw him kissing another woman?

Nina touched her chest, and tears ran down her face. Her heart ached so painfully that she could barely take it. Perhaps it was the after-effects of taking too much medicine, or maybe she was sick.

The doorbell rang. Nina wiped her tears and sat up on the bed. It was still early. Who was it who came?

She walked to the living room and looked through the peephole. No one was outside the door. It seemed like the person knew she would check the situation outside through the peephole, and that was why they hid on purpose.

Usually, it would be someone unwelcomed by her.

“Who is it?" Nina asked.

There was no sound from outside the door.

"I know you're out there. I'm going to call the police if you don't speak," Nina said in the direction of the door.

"It's me." Percy's voice sounded.

Nina was startled. Why was he here? She could not help but feel uncomfortable at the thought of the news article she read just now. She took a deep breath and leaned behind the door, trying to chase the man away. "You're not welcomed here. Please leave."

"Nina, let me in," said Percy. He knocked on the door, not afraid that he would be disturbing the neighbors in the early morning.

Nina was a considerate person and afraid of troubling others. If the knocking on the door really disturbed the neighbors, it might be helpful to him.
