Believe Me

Johny hadn't gone home for three days.

This had never happened before, and he would go home no matter how late it was.

That night, Ceres sat on the bed and waited. She sent a message to Johny. It was late into the night and Johny finally came back.

When Ceres saw Johny, he seemed to have changed into a different person with rather dark circles under his red eyes.

She didn't say anything.

Johny slowly walked to the side of the bed and put on a faint smile, "Why are you still awake? Are you waiting for me?"

He bent down and caressed Ceres' face gently.

"What happened? You haven't been back for several days."

"I have been working." Johny kissed Ceres' forehead. "Sleep, Ceres. I'll go take a shower first."

As he stood up, Ceres jumped off the bed and hugged Johny from behind. "Don't go!"

Johny took a deep breath and asked, "What's wrong?"

He slowly turned around, removed Ceres's hand, and gently held her face.

"Can you tell me the truth?" Ceres stared at Johny.
