Evelyn took a deep breath and suppressed the pain in her chest. She looked up at the ceiling, but no matter how wide her eyes were, she couldn't see clearly.
In fact, she could see that after five years, many of the things she had left in the room had become old. Her slippers had lost their color, and her skincare products had also expired. But even so, the man had struggled to maintain them for five years.
It had been five years. How much time and faith did he have to do this to an empty house and a "dead" woman when he couldn't see anyone?
"Miss Shelton, Mr. Lloyd should have kept the phone you used before. Once, when I got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, I passed by the door and saw him sitting alone at the head of the bed and talking to the microphone."
Evelyn had a mixed feeling now. She walked to the bedside and opened one of the drawers. Sure enough, there was a rectangular mobile phone lying quietly in it. It was still the model from five years ago, and even the cartoon drawings on it were still there.
Her fingertips trembled and she almost couldn't hold the phone. She had to use both hands to stabilize it. She pressed the power button, and the screen quickly lit up. There was still half of the battery, and the boot speed was not slow. It should be used often.
Evelyn found the call history column. From the top, all the calls were from the same number. Each call often took more than ten minutes. The latest call was nearly a month ago. She calculated that it was a few days before they met in Eoland.
Therefore, until he met her by chance in Eoland, this man had been using another mobile phone to call this one every day.
