Bang bang bang!
The next day, Lily Turner was startled awake by the sound of knocking. Groggily, she reached out to feel the spot next to her, but her hand fell on emptiness. Her eyes shot open.
There was no one beside her!
Lily glanced at the empty space next to her, rubbed her eyes, and sat up.
Bang bang bang!
Perhaps having waited too long without an answer, the person outside grew impatient and knocked on the door again.
"Is it Aunt?"
While asking, Lily got out of bed to open the door.
As soon as she spoke, Aunt Li's voice came from outside, "It's me! Your sister called saying she urgently needs to find you."
"Got it, Aunt!"
Lily replied to Aunt Li knocking outside, turned, and headed towards the sofa area in the room, where the landline phone was on a small table.
She rushed over, not bothering to sit down, picked up the phone, and placed it against her ear. "Hello! Sis!"
