"Can I leave now?" "Not yet. You need to wait for the test result." The door opened and closed again.
Jean was left alone in the room.
The dim light shone on her tired face.

"You probably already know that Jean is one of the key suspects in this incident." Sherry looked concerned.

"You know how much she cares about this competition. Due to the incident, the completion has to be postponed, so she must be frustrated. You should go check on her." Her every word sounded like she was concerned about Jean.
Edgar looked at her briefly before saying, “This matter has nothing to do with you." Sherry retorted immediately, "Must you think so badly of me?" Then, she left and walked away in her high heels.
At the stime, Edgar entered an elevator.
Jean had not been able to sleep for a few days.She sprawled over the table and gradually fell asleep.She vaguely heard someone calling her name. She opened her eyes sleepily and saw Edgar standing before her.
