"Get up, take a few sips to calm down."
Melody came in with a cup and pulled Sharon up from the bed.
Accepting it, Sharon took two sips.
"Are you going home today?"
"No." Sharon shook her head. "He will not return anyway, and there's no way to get through his phone. Therefore, I'll stay here and accompany you."
Thinking for a while, Melody said, "Okay, just stay."
Nodding her head, Sharon placed the cup aside and lay down again. She looked at the ceiling motionlessly for a while, then suddenly stood up.
"What's wrong?"
Sitting up in silence, then Sharon strode outside, and said, "Forget it, I think I'd better go back."
Stunned for a moment before shrugging her shoulders. Melody suppressed her laughter and said, "Yeah. What if your husband returns and doesn't see you?"
Though Sharon did not say anything, her pace sped up.
Looking at that, Melody shook her head and laughed.
Leaving the Graham house, Sharon directly took a cab to Rebecca's residence. Stanley had brought her there before, so she remembered the route.
After arriving, she immediately knocked on the door.
"Bang bang bang!"
Slamming on the door loudly, "Stanley Jones, come out! I know you are inside, don't hide in there!"
After shouting for a long time, not only did no one respond to the door, but there was also no movement inside.
Anxious, Sharon wanted to kick the door with her feet.
What a b*stard!
Not only was he missing, but also his phone was turned off as well. What the hell was he doing?
For a long time, she knocked on the door stubbornly. Later, the neighbor's door opened. "Who are you looking for?"
Feeling a little awkward, Sharon said, "I'm sorry. I'm a friend of the owner. I can’t get in touch with her. I'm afraid that something might have happened to her."
"Oh, I see. I think you should call the police."
Sharon was rendered speechless.
"But I haven't seen anyone return to this house for a few days. Usually, I could still hear the movements in this house when I came back. But in the past two or three days, there seemed to be no movement at all, not even footsteps. Perhaps no one was in the house."
No one?
Sharon was startled.
If so, then Stanley and Rebecca were not here? Then where did they go?
The neighbor was still talking about something. But, Sharon had no mood to listen, so she turned around and left.
Walking like a zombie, she returned to her residence. Upon seeing that the courtyard was empty, Sharon's heart sank.
It was already 9 p.m., and Stanley still had not returned.
Usually, if he came back, the car was parked at the front of the yard.
Taking out the key, Sharon opened the door. There was no one in the living room. But, there was the sound of running water that came from the kitchen, and Hazel was cooking.
Hearing the sound of the door closing, Hazel turned to say, "Mr. Jones?"
"It's me."
Sharon opened her mouth.
Coming out of the kitchen, Hazel wiped her hands on her apron. "Have you had dinner?"
With no appetite, Sharon said, "I'm not hungry." After a pause, she still stubbornly asked, "Hazel, Stanley had not returned yet?"
"Yes."
"Okay, I know now. Don't work too late. I'm a little tired, so I'll go up first."
When Sharon returned to the bedroom, her emotions were out of control, and her eyes turn red.
She found Stanley's photo on her phone, and pointed at him while she scolded, "If you have the guts, then never come back!"
The photo was taken in the mall on their last date. Stanley held her in his arms, and his eyes were full of affection.
