Rachel’s heart tightened, and she instantly pressed her back against the wall.

Victor emerged from the shadows. Just then, an aged voice suddenly came from inside the alley. “Victor, is that you?”

Before Rachel could come to her senses, Victor had walked up to the person. “Why are you coming out by yourself, Grandma? How many times have I told you that it’s hard to see things clearly at night? What if you trip and fall again when you come out?”

Rachel followed the voices with her gaze and saw the innermost small house. The house was dimly lit, and an old woman was standing tremblingly at its door, supporting herself with a walking stick. Meanwhile, Victor addressed her as his grandmother.

The small house was in a dilapidated condition. It was in disrepair for years, and its walls were mottled; there wasn’t even a decent chair in the house. Victor pushed the clothes away from a corner on the sofa before taking off his jacket and spreading it over the surface. “I hope you won’t frown upon this, Miss Hudson. Please have a seat.”

Victor hurriedly went into the room. “Don’t trouble yourself with that, Grandma. We don’t have tea in the house…”

“I recall having some tea around the house, though. How could we let the visitor leave without having something to drink?”
