Crystal woke up in a daze. Last night, she probably had a lot of absurd dreams. She didn’t know whether it was because she was pregnant or because of her emotions, but she didn’t sleep well at night and kept dreaming intermittently.
The sun was shining brightly outside the window. In late autumn, the sky was always particularly deep. Probably because of the haze today, it was covered with a light gray layer, which looked a little depressed.
Crystal got up and went to wash up. When she went downstairs, Maria had already prepared breakfast. She looked up at the clock hanging in the living room. It was half past eight in the morning.
It had been a week since she last saw Harold.
During this week, Crystal had been very obedient. She ate and slept regularly, but she was not in a good mood. Maria applied for the right to take Crystal to the garden outside. Yesterday, she told Crystal that she could take a walk outside today after breakfast.
In the past, the villa of Flower Land had made Crystal feel the warmth of a home. However, after being locked up here for seven whole days without being allowed to go out, she could not help but feel annoyed. She was looking forward to taking a walk today.
Crystal ate her nutritious meal slowly. Maria did what she said. Half an hour later, she opened the door and walked out of the room with Crystal.
The two guards did their best to keep watch and stood at the door without looking sideways. Crystal took a pair of scissors and slowly trimmed the leaves of the flowers in the garden.
In the past, when Dana was still around, Crystal would learn some gardening skills from her. But now in late autumn, the autumn flowers had already bloomed at the ridge. Crystal squatted in front of a large wall of flowers and looked at the delicate flowers fluttering in the wind in front of her.
“It’s so strange.”
