Song Song carefully opened the door, first poking her head in. Seeing no one inside, she took a deep breath and stepped in.
It seemed her luck was good today; her mother wasn't up yet. She walked to the bedroom door, turned the doorknob, and opened it...
Only to find the bed empty, the bedding neatly folded.
Huh, not here. Could she have gone to the market to buy groceries?
But this time seems too early; the market probably isn't open yet.
The sound of keys came from the doorway, and Song Song quickly turned her head to look, "Mom, you went out so early?"
Song Xueqin's eyes avoided hers, she faintly acknowledged, "Hmm." "It's Saturday, why are you up so early?"
"I... got up early to exercise."
That's odd! Why would she ask like that?
Could it be she didn't come home to sleep last night?
"Mom, you don't look well, are you feeling unwell? Shall I accompany you to the hospital for a check-up?"
