It was past ten in the evening when sixteen year old Li Meilin continuously waited for her mother to return home.
Usually, her mother would already be home by nine in the evening since she was scheduled in the dayshift at the local hospital which was only one bus ride away from their house.
She would then make sure that her daughter had dinner yet but her mother would always come home with dinner being served already in the table.
However, seeing how hard the rain was pouring outside from their window, it was only logical to think that Li Meilin's mother wouldn't be home the way she usually comes home every night, no matter what the circumstances are.
She safely assumed that everything's gonna be okay, that her mother would eventually come home after the storm passes.
