Zhang Te thought that his mother had gone to the bathroom and casually called out, "Mom?"
No one replied.
Zhang Te frowned and raised his voice, "Old lady?"
Still, no reply.
Zhang Te had a strange feeling. He turned on the light in the master bedroom and walked to the bathroom door. He was about to call out, "Pretty girl?", but before he could say a word, the bathroom door surprisingly opened with just his knock.
Zhang Te peeked into the bathroom and found his mother was not there.
Where could she be so late at night? She's not sleeping or in the bathroom.
Zhang Te stepped out of the master bedroom. He checked the living room and kitchen before searching his own room. After making sure his mother was nowhere to be found, he felt an inexplicable unease.
Subconsciously, he took out his phone to call his mother, but his mother's phone was ringing from the master bedroom.
His mother wasn't home... and she didn't even take her phone? That's unusual.
