Hao Ren and Vivian waited for Lily until 12 o'clock in the afternoon but she still did not return.
Lily had a strong sense of time, at least, when it came to meal time. As a husky, she would not give anyone the opportunity to rob her of food. So usually, she would have reached home an hour before lunch time. This should have been the case, especially on that day. She told them earlier that she would reach home before noon. Therefore, this left Hao Ren puzzled.
"She's late for lunch for the first time." Vivian put the dishes on the table, looked at the gate oddly and said, "Has something happened?"
"I’ll give her a call." Hao Ren took his cell phone out and dialed Lily's number. After a long while, he shook his head and said, "No one's answering the phone."
Vivian and Hao Ren looked at each other for a while. Finally, Vivian spoke first, "Does she have any other friends or places to go here?"
