Chapter 139-almost got caught by mom.

In the midst of a hazy consciousness, I heard Karl talking on the phone. Then came the sound of a door opening, followed by the sagging of the bed near me. Karl bent down and asked whether I wanted to continue sleeping or have something to eat.

I nestled back under the covers for a moment and asked what time it was. "10 o'clock," he replied. I drooped my eyelids and reached for my phone beneath the pillow. A cold metal object was handed to me.

"Roland called," Karl informed me.

I suddenly snapped awake, sitting up and anxiously scrolling through my phone. Karl, running his fingers through my long hair, mentioned that I had asked my friend to leave.

"Let's eat first," he suggested.
