Throwing Herself at Him

The flashlight on the cellphone was too dim, but it could only illuminate the surroundings for half a meter. Robert was looking for someone in the living room.

There was a box on the coffee table.

Inside the box was another dead animal, which made Robert feel horrible.

"Hey, hey, wake up!"

Finally, Robert found Pearl in a corner of the wall. She crouched down and encircled herself with both arms. She looked insecure.

Pearl shivered and slowly opened her eyes.

Not long ago, after the lights went off, she heard that someone tried to break into the house!

However, the phone suddenly ran out of battery. She dared not to move, for it was too dark around her!

After a few minutes, the sound died away.

Pearl was still afraid. She turned around and fainted at the sight of the cat's eyes.

"Miss Rich, Mrs. Duncan asked me to come over and check what has happened, so I opened the door and came in."

Robert explained. First, he was not a gate-crasher. He came for a reason.

"Alright."
