Xia Wan'an thought she must have misheard, and with a slight frown, she held her breath and listened carefully again.
The pitter-patter continued without stopping... The three villas by Lin Lake were all hers… She was the only one to live there. How could there be a sound of running water?
Could it be that she had forgotten to turn off a faucet? No, after returning home this evening, she had only used the water in the kitchen downstairs and the bathroom in the master bedroom...
The usually calm kitten hurriedly jumped from the vanity mirror to the nearby wardrobe, its meows becoming increasingly frenzied.
As Xia Wan'an listened to the cat's cry, the more she thought, the more worried she became. No longer feeling sleepy, she hesitated in bed for a moment, and finally got off the bed, phone in hand.
As she reached the bedroom door and pulled it open, the sound of running water outside suddenly stopped.
