Ramon opened the gate, and the house was deserted entirely; usually, if everyone had left, at least the doorman would still be there, but this time, there was no one in the house.

Rika opened the door, and Ramon parked the car.

The house was utterly deserted, and Ramon immediately called his mother. Rika was silent as her husband seemed to be seriously contacting his mother-in-law, and she was beginning to think the worst about her father-in-law's condition.

"Severe?" Rika asked again.

Ramon shook his head; he didn't get any details on his father's condition because his mum was still in shock.

"Well, let's just wait!" Rika said as she walked to the kitchen to get her husband a drink.
