But in this daze, she seemed to hear the doorbell ringing.

She wanted to get up and open the door, but she was too sleepy to do so.

The doorbell rang for a while and then stopped ringing. Instead, the sound of a door opening was heard from outside.

"How did you fall asleep on the sofa?"

In a daze, Kitagami Haruko seemed to hear her father's words. She tried hard to open her eyes, and then saw her father's familiar outfit.

A white suit and hat, my father always sends this photo when he goes out...

Seeing her father coming back, Kitagawa Haruko was ecstatic, but she was too sleepy and her body seemed to be paralyzed by a ghost and she couldn't move no matter what.

But her father's return was such a surprise that she was no longer sleepy.

Resisting the drowsiness caused by her body, Kitagami Haruko tried hard to open her eyes and wake up.

For some reason, the doorbell ringing in her ears became clearer and clearer, which made her feel a little strange.

doorbell?

Isn't Dad back? Why is there still a doorbell ringing?

Are there guests? Or...

Dream?

As the ringing sound became clearer and clearer, a thought suddenly came to her mind and startled Kitagami Haruko awake from her sleep.

"dad!"

Kitagami Haruko suddenly stood up and shouted, but the imagined response did not come from the room. There was only a long silence and the ringing of the bell.

"Dreaming again..."

Kitagami Haruko wiped the sweat from her forehead, and a trace of sadness appeared on her beautiful face, like a little girl who was hurt and had no one to comfort her. There was no trace of the cruelty of a vicious woman.

As the saying goes, "What you think about during the day, you dream about at night." She had no idea how many times she had dreamed of her father coming back, and this was just one of them.

After calming down, Kitagawa Haruko heard that the bell outside the door had stopped ringing, so she walked straight to the courtyard in her slippers.

But when she saw the two people standing in front of the gate, her expression suddenly changed.

That pretty face was instantly covered with dark clouds, and the hatred in the eyes made people shudder.

Because she had seen the person who rang her doorbell.

It was the man who forced her to take poison in order to escape and protect herself!!

How could she possibly welcome such a person?
