Chapter 117

• The next day, she remained standing in front of the closed door of the room where she stayed. She was afraid to go out. She didn't want to see Andrie after what he did last night. But aside from what the man did, she was confused about what she saw. That scene was clear, unforgettable. It was like a memory she had forgotten but suddenly recalled. She bit her lip and took a deep breath. She nodded. She decided to leave the room. Whatever happened when she encountered Andrie outside, so be it.
• Besides, she wasn't the one who did something wrong. So why was she afraid of him?
• Right. With enough courage, she turned the knob and opened the door. A light, fresh breeze from the open balcony at the end of the long hallway greeted her, leading towards the staircase. She glanced around, making sure no one was there, before stepping towards the stairs. She repeatedly told herself she'd return to her room right after having breakfast.
