Bab 38: Love circle?

Reen and Cixi looked all over for Joreen but didn't find her. They had taken a different route so they didn't bump into Joreen nor Hoy.

"That girl wants to drive me crazy! I bet she is freezing somewhere!" Cixi cried out.

"Or maybe she has returned to the room after seeing how cold it is out here? Maybe we should return inside because I am with the key." Cixi said with her hands inside her coat's pocket. If she was this cold even though she was wearing a coat, she wondered how Joreen was able to survive.

"I thought so too. We should return insude. Why did she run out like that! I feel a headache coming already." Cixi began to massage her temples as she spoke wearily.

Reen watched her quietly and began to think deeply about something. After a while, she said it out,

"Uhm... mum?" 

"Hmm?" She replied weakly.

"Haven't you noticed anything strange about Joreen and uncle Hoy?" Reen asked. 

"Anything? Like what?" Cixi asked curiously.
