Lucas had been absent from the work for nearly three days until now, yet Andrew didn’t urge him to return to the office as soon as possible. From the tone of his friend, he knew that he was probably mulling about something. At a time like this, Lucas liked to be alone.Savannah also somehow seemed to act a bit strange the day Lucas called for some days off. It was as if her mind was somewhere else. She lost a bit of focus on her work, though it didn’t affect her overall performance. Savannah would be in a daze when she got called by someone. Then, after a while, she would finally snap out of it. It happened a few times.Andrew noticed the probability of the two people’s actions somehow related to each other. But he didn’t want to probe on both of their privacies.That was until today, Savannah came knocking on his door, asking for full a week off. Her face was emotionless, though sometimes anxiety could be perceived

Lucas looked around his office absent mindedly. It still filled his mind with yesterday’s event. He couldn’t help but think about a few possibilities that made the woman he knew as ‘Auntie Ellia’ act like that. Yet, if he didn’t seek the answer, he will only be able to guess and never to find the truth.Lucas glanced at his phone and contacted some people who were familiar with investigating something. Surely, he wanted to find some leads about it.The investigation probably going to take quite some time, so he decided that maybe he could secretly visit that house again to observe the case.“You seem so busy lately.” Andrew yawned tiredly as he slammed the documents in his hands into Lucas’ table. It was packed full of the task he had just finished.Lucas just glanced at him and didn’t provide any reply. Andrew wasn’t bothered either, and he just leisurely took a seat on the opposite of Lucas. He

For the next few days, Lucas didn’t go to check up on the Dawson family by himself. He simply asked someone to pay attention to them.It had been a few days, and he finally decided to take a look at them by himself. If possible, he also wanted to talk to them, to sort out the problem between them. He wanted to know what happened to them, that Auntie Ellia refused to acknowledge him.This time, Lucas was standing in front of the same room again. He didn’t rashly knock on the door and got in. Instead, he was observing the situation first.Inside the room, there were three people. The little boy called Juwen, Stephen Dawson, and Ellia Dawson. The little boy seemed had his eyes shut tightly, seemingly unconscious.The familiar middle-aged was stroking his hair worriedly, glancing at her husband once a while. There was a conflicted expression on her face, as if something was bothering her.The husband sat on the chair

After Lucas left the hospital and helped the Dawson couple to pay for their hospital bill, he quickly headed towards the office. There was a constant frown on his forehead as if he was thinking hard about something. He thought about Ellia Dawson's odd behavior and Stephen's casualness. The atmosphere around the two seemed a bit off despite them sometimes appear together to be a harmonious couple. Lucas's crease deepened. In the end, he just shook his head. The matter regarding their relationship absolutely had nothing to with him. As long as it won't effect on bothering him. He kept some of his suspicions to himself. He had learned a hard lesson not to be a fool any longer. He would just wait for Sofia, his childhood friend to come to the company. As she worked under him, he would observe her.

Finally, today was the day that he had waited for years to come. He was meeting that little figure from his childhood again. Strangely, this time, his heart was calm, as if it was just another normal day.Lucas walked through the glass door. It was quite early and some employees even hadn't come yet. As soon as he entered the door, Lucas immediately found Savannah talking towards another person. It was just a normal employee.He was pretty sure that his entry had attracted quite a lot of attention. But, Savannah didn't even glance at him, she stayed indifferent to him.Lucas didn't bother her. Especially, he didn't want to force her into anything that would make her uncomfortable. He knew that he wasn't as forceful as before now. Somehow, he had learned how to be patient.Some of the workers greeted him as he walked into his room. He was just waiting until the time when the work started. Until then, he could come out from here and meet her.Lucas l
