บท 244: Back At Home

[Adrian's POV]

Adrian clutched the handlebar of his motorbike, swerving to overtake a slowing car. Everything Raymond told him still hasn't sunk into his brain fully. Even as he sped up the road on his way back home, it kept repeating like a nightmare he just woke up from. The more reality seeped into skin, the need to see his family increased.

But as he stared at the three-story house, he couldn't help but to feel a pang of regret, especially when Aaron came out to open the gate for him.
