Chapter 217: The diary... is lost

The next morning, Ryan slowly woke up in his bed.

Ever since he arrived here, his daily routine had unwittingly synced up with Alice's.

"Miss Alice, why can't you just sleep in a bit longer?"

Ryan yawned, looking somewhat helplessly at the still-maturing sunlight outside.

If he were living alone, he'd much prefer to sleep till noon. Waking up at eight in the morning was hardly his idea of a perfect life.

"Mr. Ryan, it's time for breakfast."

The maid gently reminded him, and Ryan, still groggy, hurriedly agreed, abandoning any thoughts of snoozing a bit longer.

Struggling to get up, he fumbled around to put his laptop away.

But as Ryan lifted his mattress, his hand searched around and then he frowned, sensing something was off.

The terrifying possibility instantly wiped away all his sleepiness, and his movements suddenly quickened, flinging the blanket away.

"No... that can't be right, I definitely left it here."
