Alex lit a cigarette, leaned between the two apartment doors, and took out his phone to open Ellie's chat on
WhatsApp. He typed a few words, hesitated, deleted them, typed again, and deleted them again.
In the room, Ellie watched over Betty's bedside. Thinking about everything that happened tonight, she still felt
nervous and couldn’t calm down. She had a strong feeling that someone had been following her in the hallway.

with a smile.
