Ann frowned, wondering if she heard it wrong.
But the knock on the door didn't stop.
She only knew a few people in the River City. Besides, it was so late. Could it be Phillip that came to pick up Carson?
Just as she was hesitating, her phone rang. It was the number she had dialed before.
When Ann answered, she only heard three words.
"Open the door."
It was Phillip.
Ann opened the inner door, and then she saw Phillip was leaning against the security door.
The corridor was in half-darkness, so Ann couldn't see Phillip's face clearly. Instead, she heard his voice.
"I'm coming to pick up Carson."
The neighbors on the other side seemed to have been disturbed, and Ann heard the sound of their key being turned in the lock.
Ann opened the security door at once and asked Phillip in.
Just as she closed the door, before she could speak, she felt a pain in her back and was pressed against the wall.
