Nora walked over to Rene. She was about to talk to her but, as though she was badly frightened, Rene suddenly turned away and ran into the smallest house at the side.

Nora: “…”

Through the window, she saw Rene pick up her cell phone, her hands shaking as she did. She seemingly made a phone call. The person she called said something, which frightened Rene so badly that her eyes reddened and she started to cry.

Nora frowned.

Rene seemed to have sensed Nora looking at her. She was so scared that she suddenly drew the curtains and curled up in the corner. As for what she was doing, Nora couldn’t see.

“Mommy, isn’t Auntie Rene a little too timid?”

Nora nodded. After a moment’s thought, she told Cherry to go back into the house. She then walked up to Rene’s door, raised her hand, and knocked on the door.

Rene’s timid voice rang out. “W-who is it?”

Nora replied, “I’m your neighbor, I live next door. Thank you for speaking up for Cherry…”

“Y-you’re welcome.”

Rene sounded like she was about to cry. “Please, I beg you, don’t come to me anymore. I… I don’t want him to lose his job…”

Nora hurriedly comforted her. “He won’t lose his job, don’t worry. Can you open the door? I have something to tell you.”

“I-I have nothing to say to you. P-please don’t disturb me, okay?”.

Rene stammered a little when she spoke and she didn’t sound confident of herself.
