A hesitant look formed in Brenda’s eyes when she saw Solo.

A moment later, she lowered her gaze and suddenly said, “Come with me, guys.”

Then, she headed straight toward the villa.

The group followed after her. Brenda took out a card key, swiped it at the entrance, and opened the door.

When Nora and the others saw how well she knew her way around the house, they couldn’t help but exchange a look with one another. From the looks of it, Brenda often came over. It was likely she treated the villa as her home.

After Brenda entered, the middle-aged lady from earlier appeared. When she saw Brenda and the people behind her, she smiled and said, “You’re back, Brenda? They must be your friends. Here, make yourselves at home! I’ll get you guys some coffee.”

Without giving them a chance to refuse, she went into the kitchen and began to boil some water.

Brenda pointed to the sofa and gestured for them to have a seat.

Then, she entered the kitchen and said, “Let me do it, Mom.”

Solo’s heart sank.

Brenda had called her “Mom”…

And she had even been so natural when she did it.

He clenched his fists.

However, the lady frowned and said, “Shoo, shoo. Go and keep the guests company instead. Mom can handle all these just fine.”

She ushered Brenda out of the kitchen and then said with a smile, “I’ll go up and wake Marcus. How can he continue sleeping when there are guests in the house? Geez! I’ll get him to go get some nice little snacks or something!”

Brenda’s expression turned a little nervous.

However, she didn’t say anything. The lady then went up the stairs and pushed the door to the master bedroom open. She called out, “Hey, Marcus! Go out and get some snacks! We have guests in the house!”

A man’s voice was then heard coming from the second floor. “Alright, Mom.”

The lady then came back down and continued making coffee.

When Solo heard the voice from the upper floor, his expression turned even more awful.

Moreover, it sounded like the voice had come from the master bedroom…

Solo got onto his feet to charge upstairs.

His fists clenched again and again, but he ultimately forced himself to resist the urge.

He didn’t want to make things difficult for Brenda.

If Brenda really was already married, he didn’t want to break up her family.

As though all the strength in him had suddenly left him, he sat back down on the sofa.

At this point, the lady had finished making the coffee and brought it over. She said, “You guys are Brenda’s friends, right? You should talk some sense into her… She’s already in her thirties. It’s about time she considers having kids…”

Solo lowered his gaze.

At this point, the lady suddenly looked at the stairs and got up. “Why isn’t Marcus here yet? I’ll get him.”

She then went up the stairs again.

However, a short while later, she suddenly screamed.

Brenda rushed up the stairs anxiously.

Nora and Justin followed closely behind her.

Solo was the only one who stayed where he was. However, after hesitating for a moment, he still decided to follow them upstairs.

When Nora arrived on the upper floor, she noticed that the door to the master bedroom was ajar. The lady’s voice could be heard coming from within. “Marcus? Marcus! What happened?! Quick, get the doctor here!”

Nora rushed into the room immediately.

She was a doctor and could save the patient in times of emergency.

But when she went in, she saw the lady collapsed on the floor. Brenda was squatting beside her and pulling her arm. “Mom, it’s okay, it’s okay. Marcus is fine…”

“No, he’s not! Doctor, doctor!”

The lady screamed.

Nora quickly stepped forward and said calmly, “I’m a doctor. What’s wrong?”

As soon as she heard Nora, the lady grabbed her hand and said, “Please, save my son! Save my son!”

Nora’s gaze followed the direction where she was pointing and looked at the bed.

The lady screamed, “Why isn’t my son waking up? Why isn’t he getting up?!”

Nora’s expression instantly changed.

There was nobody on the bed at all.
