An awakened demon
At about 10:00 am, Shen woke up from his slumber.
He looked around to check the time and noticed the blanket that covered him. He knew he had fallen asleep without it, so it must have been Lina who put it there.
Shen got up immediately to go look for his wife. He wanted to be close with her the previous night but the phone call and all the work had taken up his night.
All he wanted now was to hold her and kiss her good morning.
But she wasn't in the bedroom. In fact, she had cleaned up and made the bed. There was still the fresh sent of shower gel and perfume.
She was here not too long ago.
He quickly rushed downstairs, hoping to find her at the table having breakfast.
With his hair dishevelled, and his light stubble, he burst into the dining room.
The only person looking up at him with surprise with a cup of tea in her hand, was his mother, reading the morning paper.
"What's wrong, son? You look very...agitated."
