Emily was stunned. She thought that she had accidentally knocked into silent mode or that her phone had been hung up. She looked at the screen and saw that it was still showing that she was on the phone. She cried out in confusion, "Addy?"
There was no response from the other end of the phone. Instead, there was a strange silence.
Just as Emily was hesitating whether or not to hang up, she heard a cry of pain. "Ah-"
Startled, she quickly said, "Hello? Addy? Addy?"
Emily put the phone screen in front of her eyes. The screen showed that the phone had been hung up. She swallowed and couldn't help looking at Simon for help.
When Simon saw her face change dramatically, he had leaned over and sat next to her. He said in a low voice, "Maybe it's disconnected. Emily, try it again!"
When Emily heard this, she called again, but there was only the sound of system prompt on the other end.
"The phone can't be connected!" She shook her head. Somehow, her heart was in a mess. She was a little worried. "Simon, do you think something will happen?"
Simon frowned.
The more Emily thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong. After all, she had gotten through to the other end of the phone just now. Suddenly, there was no sound. Furthermore, there was a low cry that she wasn't sure of. After a few consecutive calls, she still couldn't connect...
After hesitating for a while, she said first, "Let's go over and have a look!"
Half an hour later, the black Cayenne drove to a high-end community.
Just now, on the phone, Addy said that she was at home, so they drove over directly. When Addy announced her marriage, she mentioned that she would invite them to live in her house after honeymoon, and knew that Sean had just bought a new real estate as their wedding house.
After the car stopped, Simon took her into the building.
The elevator rose to a certain level at a constant speed. With a ringing, it opened. The building is equipped with one staircase with only one household at every level. There was only one security door. Simon raised his hand and knocked on the door.
After a long time, there was no sound at all.
When they were looking at each other speechlessly, the security door was suddenly opened from the inside.
When the person inside saw them, she was stunned. After a while, she asked, "Simon, Emily, what brings you here?"
At the same time, Emily and Simon were also surprised, because Addy's face was covered with bruises, her long hair was messy like withered grass, and her clothes were wrinkled, which made her look extremely embarrassed.
"Oh my god!" Emily cried out involuntarily.
Simon said in shock, "Addy, what's wrong with you?"
Addy quickly lowered her head and tried to hide her bruises with her long hair. "I, I'm fine!"
Emily and Simon followed Addy into the house. After passing through the porch, they found that the living room was in a mess. The glass of the French window even had broken lines, and there was a ashtray with broken corners beside the corner of the wall.
He opened his mouth but say nothing, completely shocked by what he saw.
Addy seemed to be a little flustered, but it was too late to tidy up. She hurriedly picked up the electrical appliances and other things on the ground. Under the background wall of the TV, the mobile phone lied there. The screen had been broken. It seemed that it couldn't be used anymore. No wonder Addy could not be connected later.
