It was already late at night when they exited the police station.
By then, Naomi had regained her composure. She had never experienced anything like that in her life.
“Thanks for saving me,” Naomi said quietly. “And I’ll compensate you for the crayfish tomorrow.”
“Don’t be so polite. At least I got to be a hero.” Jonathan and the manager patted her shoulder and added, “Let’s get back and wait for updates from the police.”
After they got back, Naomi couldn’t seem to fall asleep. Who on earth tried to harm me? Why did they do it?

Stars twinkled in the night sky and the moon shined brightly.
A black Bentley stopped in front of Bayview Villa.
Lucas got out of the car and strode into the villa.
Right then, the melodious sound of a piano echoed from the villa as if the notes were dancing in the night sky, which was pleasing to the ears.
Lucas froze and stopped in his tracks upon hearing the music.
He stood still on the spot and continued to listen until the song finished playing.
In the music room, Ashlyn tinkered with the song she composed and tried it out as she went along.
She kept feeling like there was some part of it that wasn’t perfect.
“This song’s new. I’ve never heard it before.”
A deep and mesmerizing voice suddenly came from the door.
Ashlyn turned and saw Lucas standing there with a cup of milk in his hands.
Why is he here? She smiled slightly and replied, “I’m composing a new song for a film.”
The man walked towards her with the milk in hand. Leaning over slightly, he put the cup of milk to her lips.
Ashlyn opened her mouth and took a sip before saying, “Put it on the table.”
“Honey, how’s Mr. Chapman’s condition after the accident?” Lucas asked as he thought of the news headline.
Ashlyn’s finger on the piano twitched upon hearing his question. Did he come all the way here to ask about his lover’s grandpa?
