NovelOnlineChapter 1760 It was only dawn when loud knocks coupled with the sound of insistent doorbell ringing could be heard coming from a typical residential neighborhood in New Capital City. Melinda and Lilin instantly woke up.
Lilin groggily rubbed her eyes and sat up. "Who is it? Why would anyone knock on our door so early in the morning?" Melinda had already gotten out of bed and was looking for something to wear. "Lilin, go back to sleep. I'll see who it is." Although Lilin had just woken up and her mind was still a bit fuzzy, she was still alert. She got out of bed and grabbed her mother, who was about to go to the door.
"Mom, this isn't our home, and your friend hasn't lived in this house for a while! Who else will show up at someone else's door this early in the morning? We need to be cautious; it could be someone with bad intentions! 11 Melinda glanced at the clock on the wall and noted that it was only four o'clock in the morning. Being sought out at this hour was indeed very unusual.
Lilin also quickly put on her clothes. "Mom, wait for me. I'll cwith you to see who it is! Even though Dad's not here, he surely has arranged for his people to keep an eye on us. His people wouldn't let strangers cknocking on our door! My guess is that if it's not Dad's men, it's the bad guys who've already taken down Dad's lackeys." Hearing her daughter's speculation, Melinda could not help but start to feel nervous.

The knocking outside grew louder and more urgent.
Melinda and Lilin tiptoed to the door without turning on the lights, fearing they might be discovered by whoever was outside.
Subsequently, Melinda cautiously approached and peered through the peephole. Shock and surprise immediately riddled her face.
Lilin noticed her unease and anxiously tugged at her hand, whispering," Mom, did you see something? Who's outside?" It was only then that Melinda snapped out of her shock. Without answering her daughter's question, she reached out and turned on the lights.
The room suddenly lit up, casting an unsettling glow that left Lilin even more uneasy.
"Mom, why did you turn on the lights? Won't we be exposed like this? Who's out there?" Melinda patted Lilin's head gently. ' Don't worry, it's not a bad person." With that, Melinda slowly opened the door.
