After Patrick hung up the phone, I controlled my emotions and asked him, "What's wrong?"
Patrick looked at me and frowned. After a moment of silence, he shook his head, "Nothing."
"No, something is wrong."
Patrick surely was a poker-faced person when he was at work.
But at this time, he couldn't even control his emotions.
In that case, it meant that this matter was a serious one.
I reached out my hand, put my hands around Patrick's waist, and pressed my face against his lower abdomen, "Tell me the truth. I'm not afraid."
Patrick was silent for a while. And he told me, "The police said that they found the bodies of those foreign men by the river in the suburbs."
"Are they dead too?" I almost couldn't believe it. Tears had soaked the gauze on my face.
But I couldn't help crying.
