Grayson informed, "President, we've checked through all information regarding Rose Loyle. However, we can’t find any information about her from seven years ago until today. Don't you think something funny is going on?"
Jay's eagle-like pupils became sharp as doubt shrouded his cold peach-shaped eyes.
In this current society where the internet was so advanced, it was unusual for someone’s archives to go missing. Furthermore, what was missing from Rose's archives was not from a long time ago when the internet was still underdeveloped. It was from recent years! This would probe anyone's suspicion.
"Continue investigating!" Jay ordered.
"Noted, President."
Jay settled his work before going to bed.
When he closed his eyes, his mind inexplicably surfaced Rose’s voice as she recited 'To Oak Tree’. The circumflex accent brought a healing warmth which made him unable to stop himself from thinking about Angeline.
Other than the difference in voice, Angeline and Rose's tone when reciting the poem was shockingly similar.
Jay tossed and turned, finding it difficult to fall asleep. Finally, he turned on the white noise app, plugged in his headphones, and listened to a whole night of rain sounds. He did not know what time he fell asleep.
Perhaps it was a connection between father and son. That night, Jenson slept poorly as well. He dreamt of a n extremely scary dream. There was a weird-looking being wearing a beast head mask that climbed up his window. In the beast’s hand was a bell that he did not stop ringing. "Jenson... Jenson... Save me... Save me, please..." It was talking like a wronged soul seeking for justice!
"Ahh!" Jenson suddenly opened his eyes. His cool face was filled with fear as he stumbled out of bed and ran outside like a lunatic.
When Rose heard some urgent footsteps along the corridor, she was jolted awake and ran out without wearing any slippers.
"Jens." Rose saw Jenson running around like a headless fly.
Jenson was running around the corridor on the second floor. When he saw Rose, his complexion paled as he ran to her. She opened her arms wide and sank himself into her embrace. "Mommy, I'm afraid!"
