The room furthest to the back, overcome with silence as Yue Ling and Lu Tian slept through the night after showering. Lu Tian's eyes calmly flutter open, and the ceiling above came to view.
He glances at the window. Although the curtains in the room were not drawn, he could tell that morning had come. The faint sun rays from outside entered through the gaps, letting him know that it was bright and sunny.
Like his usual routine, he turns to his sleeping wife. He would always kiss her on the head, then get up to go on a morning run before returning to freshen up and prepare breakfast.
However, his hands felt nothing but the blanket and pillows.
He sits up in bed and frowns at the empty spot his wife should have been sleeping.
"Yue Ling?"
He didn't hesitate to call for her, thinking she might have woke up to use the bathroom. However, seconds pass, and he received no response.
Even the adjoining bathroom to the room was left open.
