Finding a seat beside the window, the man sat down and put the camera with its bag on the desk in the inn. He looked around and had a mixed feeling when he appreciated the decor there.

“Drink some warm water to warm your body up, sir. Please wait ten minutes.”

Lily put a cup of water on the desk, and asked, “May I have your name, sir?”

“Bay.”

“OK, Mr. Bay, please wait.”

Then Lily went upstairs to clean up the room.

The man took the drink, and then took the camera out of the bag. He measured the public area in the inn, then stretched the lens and aimed it at the second floor following the stairs.

The lens was aimed at the end of the corridor on the second floor. There was a board decorated with dried flowers. Through the lens, the man could see the words on the board, “Room of the host. Knock before entering.”

The man couldn’t help smiling.

In the room, with the dim light, Rebekah sat by the window reading her book. She wore the brown waistcoat, on which there were her long hairs, like the waterfalls. She was in her fifties, but she still looked young.

Benjamin stood there with a plate in his hand. He had been standing there for ten minutes.

“Mom, please, you should have the meal. You can scold me or punish me, but please, take care of your health.”

“Put it there,” Rebekah replied, but she even didn’t move her eyes from the book.

Benjamin was worried, “You’ve been eating so few after you came back from Nanking. Even Lily has found your bad emotions. I even don’t know what I should do.”

Rebekah frowned, and then closed the book. She looked at Benjamin and said, “What did you think I should do when you hid your investigation of the Beckham family from me?”

Benjamin was speechless.
