“Mom…”

She called twice, but there was no response.

Lightning lit up the room in a blinding flash. Fear crept in. Clutching her doll, she sat up, wanting to sleep with her parents.

As she stepped out of her room, she thought she saw someone standing near the stairway. A

man.

“Dad?”

When she blinked, he was gone.

Dawn rubbed her eyes and kept going toward her mother’s room.

In the past, her parents never closed their door, but tonight, no matter how hard she pushed, it wouldn’t open.

Not long after, strange sounds came from inside the room. Dawn thought a monster had come to eat her parents and burst into loud sobs.

Suddenly, someone covered her mouth from behind.

Her head burned for a split second, and then she lost consciousness.

When she woke up the next day, the stormy night had passed. Her mother was sitting by the bed, her gaze vacant but anxious.

“Mom…”

Dawn weakly lifted her hand and poked her mother’s cheek.

“Honey, you’re awake.”

Vera wiped her face absently and pulled the child into her arms. “You had a nightmare, didn’t you? It’s okay now… I’m here. Don’t be scared.”

Dawn blinked in confusion. What happened last night didn’t feel like a dream.

But if Mom said so…

She looked around. It was her own room.

“Mom, I went looking for you last night, but I couldn’t find you… I also heard monster sounds coming from your room.”

“How could that be?” Her mother smiled through tears. “How could there be monsters in my room? Monsters aren’t real. That’s why it was a nightmare. Once you wake up, everything will be fine. Don’t be afraid.”

Once you wake up, everything will be fine. Don’t be afraid.

The words echoed in her mind as Dawn suddenly opened her eyes.

She raised a hand to press her forehead. Sweat soaked her head like water.

Mason had just parked the car. “Ms. West, we’re here.”

She looked out the window and realized they were already back at the Eastcrest Regency Residence.

“Any news about Micah?”

“If nothing unexpected happens, you should be able to see him in a couple of days.”

That was enough. Dawn didn’t want to ask anything else. She gave a quiet “Mm” and said, “Make sure he’s safe. Watch this personally. Nothing can go wrong.”

“Sure.”

Mason drove off.

Dawn stood on the lawn in the courtyard. Unlike the gloomy morning, there was now a patch of brightness breaking through in the distance, as if the light had finally pierced through layers of cloud and haze.

Ignoring the sting in her eyes, she stared at it for a while.

Mom…

So everything is finally coming to an end, isn’t it?

After a long time, she looked away. Her vision swam in a wash of colors, and she nearly stumbled when she went inside.

“Hey, Dawn, be careful.”

Hannah hurried over to support her. “How did you trip? Is it low blood sugar?”

The concern in her eyes was unmistakably real. The pain Dawn had felt from staring into the sunlight surged back, and tears almost spilled over.

“No, I’m fine. I just got some sand in my eyes.”

“Did it come out? If not, I can blow on it for you.”

Hannah believed her and even frowned. “I’ve been saying we should plant something in that empty patch in the yard. Otherwise, when the wind blows, this’ll happen again. What then?”

The more she listened, the sharper the ache in Dawn’s chest became.

She gently pulled her hand away, lowered her eyes, and said, “It’s okay, Hannah. I’ll just wash up.”

“Hey… Dawn!”

Watching her rush upstairs, Hannah grew more uneasy by the second. “This child… she didn’t get hurt somewhere, did she?”

At 7 p.m., Ethan came home. Upstairs, Dawn still hadn’t made a sound.

“Ethan.”

The more Hannah thought about it, the more worried she became. The moment he walked in, she hurried to stop him.

“I think Dawn’s not right today. She came back pale, eyes all red. Something might’ve happened. Go check on her.”

Ethan’s expression darkened. “What time?”

“What time? About four or five, I think?”

Hannah counted it out. “Oh dear, she hasn’t moved for hours. Go, go check on her.”

The second floor was silent. The door to the guest room stood open.

Ethan swept it with his eyes and strode into the main bedroom.

He stopped halfway.

There was a small mound on the bed. The woman lay completely still, only her head visible,

silky hair spilling across the pillow. Even with only a sliver of skin showing, her allure was unmistakable.

Ethan’s Adam’s apple bobbed as he walked over.

Before he could do anything, she turned toward him first.

Just awake, her eyes and voice were hazy and soft. “You’re back.”

“Mm.” He sat on the edge of the bed and asked in a low voice, “Why are you sleeping in the afternoon? You won’t be able to sleep tonight.”

Dawn looked at his face and blinked.

She didn’t answer. Instead, she said gently, “I messaged you at noon. You didn’t reply.”
