📖 Story Synopsis: At two in the morning, the bedroom was completely silent. A sudden, piercing ringtone shattered the stillness like a blade cutting through sleep. Renata fumbled for her phone under the pillow. Without even seeing who was calling, she answered. On the other end, Alan’s weak, labored breathing came through in a rush. “Renata… I think I’ve got a fever. I’m burning up. There’s no one here with me…” Renata snapped fully awake. She threw the blanket off and rushed out of bed, hastily searching for clothes. “Don’t panic, I’m coming right now!” With a sharp click, the bedside lamp turned on. Gerald had already woken up at some point. Leaning against the headboard, his gaze was clear and alert, without the fog of sleep. He watched Renata pulling a sweater over herself and asked in a low, cold voice: “Where are you going?” “My second brother has a fever and no one’s with him. I’m going to check on him,” Renata said quickly while fastening her buttons. Since their mother had only two sisters, Renata had grown up calling her two cousins the “eldest brother” and “second brother.” “Renata, are you out of your mind?” Gerald’s voice suddenly rose, sharp and unquestionable. “It’s two in the morning. What exactly can you do about a fever? Are you a doctor or a nurse? He’s not your only relative. Why would you, a woman, go alone to a grown man’s house in the middle of the night? How are you guaranteeing your safety? Instead of this, why aren’t you calling an ambulance?”
