    Ricky looked up at her and asked, “You’re early. You


    knew, didn’t you?”


    “Yeah,” Irene admitted.


    Ricky’s eyes were unfocused as he stared into the

    distance. “The cops were asking if I saw her, and if I knew anything.”


    Irene quietly listened, but she knew that someone got Samantha out of prison–she never could have


    escaped by herself.


    Not sure how to assure him, she said, “You need to take care of your health.”


    Ricky suddenly turned towards her. “She just diedst night… How did you know?”


    “I—”


    Irene was about to say that Isaac told him, but quickly


    changed, “I overheard the cops telling you.”


    “Ah,” Ricky murmured, but he knew that she was lying.


    Was she hiding something? Why? Because she knew that


    Isaac killed her mother?


    Beneath his nket, Ricky’s hands balled into fists.


    “My condolences,” Irene said quietly.


    Ricky forced a smile. “I know. She’s nevering back…


    By the way, was Isaac with you before midnightst night?”


    Irene shook her head. “No, he’s busy with work.”


    “I think I’m sleepy,” Ricky suddenly said.


    Irene helped him pull up his nket. “Okay. I’ll be right here with you.”


    Ricky said nothing, but quietly closed his eyes.


    Around eight in the morning, Sheryl arrived with Ricky’s breakfast.


    Irene gestured for her to put the food aside, and pulled Sheryl outside without waking Ricky.


    “Samantha’s dead.”


    “What?!” Sheryl was bewildered.


    “Keep it down, Mom. You’d wake Ricky–he must be


    feeling miserable right now.”


    Still, Sheryl was confused. “Shouldn’t she be in prison? How did it happen?”


    The situation was not exactly clear, so Irene didn’t tell Sheryl much. “I don’t know. We’ll see what


    comes of the investigation.”


    Sheryl nodded.


    “Please take care of Ricky over the next few days, and be mindful about his mood,” Irene told Sheryl.


    “I know,” Sheryl replied. “I’ll take good care of him.”


    Meanwhile, in the ward, Ricky did not actually fall asleep.


    He was pretending because he did not want to talk to


    Irene or see her.


    He had slipped out of the hospitalst night, wanting to see Samantha, only to find an ice–cold corpse.


    He whipped out his phone to once again review the video of the ce where Smaantha died.


    When he asked Irene if Isaac was with her, she told him


    that Isaac was busy with work.


    And yet, he showed up there, where Samantha died.
