Leia reminded her in a hushed tone, "I'm going to take a nap. Don't open the door no matter who rings the doorbell later. Just pretend that no one is home."

The maid nodded in agreement and replied, "Yes, Ms. Norman."

As Leia stepped into the bedroom, she turned around and reminded her again, "Keep in mind that I don't want to be disturbed during my nap. So, don't open the door to whoever rings the doorbell."

"Got it," replied the maid. Even though she found it strange, she refrained from probing further.

After Leia closed her bedroom door, the maid picked up her phone and sent a message to Jack: [Ms. Norman was discharged from the hospital today. She told me not to open the door no matter who rings the doorbell.]

After a while, Jack replied to her message: [Okay.]

It was noontime.

The apartment's doorbell kept ringing.

The maid stood hesitantly in front of the smart doorbell camera, unsure of what to do.

Leia's instructions were clear. She told her not to open the door for anyone.

However, the person ringing the doorbell seemed to be certain that someone was inside the house. The person was constantly pressing the doorbell without stopping.

The maid reluctantly muted the doorbell as she was concerned that the noise would disturb Leia.

However, even with the doorbell muted, the smart doorbell camera continued to light up. The person outside continued to ring the doorbell.

The maid could see that the person ringing the bell was a woman through the camera. She appeared to be older than Leia, but she was much younger than the maid.

Jack called when the maid decided to ignore the person outside the door.

She immediately answered, "Yes, Mr. Norman?”

"Is someone ringing the doorbell?" asked Jack.

"Yes, Sir,” replied the maid, puzzled. Could it be that the woman outside was sent by Jack?
