Thinking about it, she finally put down the cellphone and then picked up the book she had found earlier, continuing to read.
The book she was reading was a classical poetry collection, and as she read on, time passed by... and she couldn't help but feel a bit bored.
She shifted her gaze from the book and turned her head to glance in the direction of the balcony room, towards the balcony side.
Outside, the wind had picked up... the floor-to-ceiling windows on the balcony were being blown loudly.
It looked like... it was about to rain.
She stretched out her hand to rub her temples and then put down the book, turned over to switch off the table lamp, and prepared to go to sleep!
.........
Just as Jessica Webb was about to fall asleep, a strange noise suddenly came from outside the bedroom balcony.
She was startled for a moment, then opened her eyes... and looked towards the balcony.
But it was pitch dark all around, and there was no moonlight outside; she couldn't see anything.
