Ethan Thompson drove to Melody Duncan's rented apartment in the evening, thinking she must be weak from the abortion surgery and even brought her a good deal of tonics.
However, by the time he arrived at Melody's place, the gate was tightly closed; no matter how much he rang the doorbell, there was no movement inside.
He eventually became irritated, pulled out the spare key he had already prepared, swiftly unlocked the door, and charged in, only to find—
The room was empty; in the one-bedroom apartment, it didn't even take a minute to search every nook and cranny, but there was no sign of Melody Duncan.
The kitchen area was clean and tidy, and the bed in the bedroom was made perfectly. Even the two teacups on the tea table were inverted—clearly, no one had been home.
How could this be? Hadn't she undergone surgery at noon? Why hadn't she come home yet?
Could it be a case of severe bleeding from the abortion, and she was still hospitalized?
