Xu Qiaoqiao, frightened, rushed in, searched every room to validate that nobody was present before dashing out of the door, knocking on the door across.
The person from across the door opened it, sleepily rubbing her eyes. It was evident she had just fallen asleep, "Is it mealtime? No, right?"
Xu Qiaoqiao abruptly grabbed her wrist, asking urgently, "Where's my mom?"
"Ah, isn't your mom in the room? Before I dozed off, I was certain she was fine."
As the sentence ended, Xu Qiaoqiao caught a hint in her words.
She directly asked, "What time did you go to sleep?"
The woman responded, "Three o'clock."
Xu Qiaoqiao bowed her head instantly, noticing it was now half-past three.
Meaning, her mom was either kidnapped or ran away from home, within the last half an hour at most!
Glancing back at the chaotic living room, Xu Qiaoqiao clenched her fists tightly.
If her mother had had an episode and left on her own, the room wouldn't be this messy.
