She was humming a song. It was green all the way. The traffic was smooth all the way to the Whites.
She parked her car outside the Whites" courtyard.
She got out of the car and saw that the gate was locked. She looked at the shut door of the mansion too. It seemed like no one was home.
She furrowed her brows and fished her phone out. She found Nathan, Adrian's father's contact, and dialed him.
She had thought of the worst-case scenario. Perhaps Nathan had blocked her number. However, the call connected.

"Miss Tate! I'm sorry! We are out on holiday now. I'm afraid we can't welcyou in!" Nathan could not hide the arrogance in his tone. "If there is nothing else, I'm going to hang up. By the way, my son is doing well.
You don't have to worry." "Hold up!" Avery said sternly, "Adrian has just finished his surgery. He needs to rest! How could you take him out on a holiday? Even if he wants to go, he can't! Aren't you afraid that something might happen to him on the way?" Nathan harrumphed coldly. "Miss Tate. | think | have paid you the surgery fees, right? | don’t need you to orderaround. It's rude of you!" Then, he hung up.

"Hello, your neighbor, Adrian White. | am his doctor. | am Avery Tate," Avery introduced herself, "I cto check up on Adrian today, but they are not home..." "Oh, | know you! You're amazing!" The lady greeted Avery passionately, "But my neighbors have moved houses. They moved the day before yesterday. If you were to cthe day before yesterday, you might have seen them!" Avery was flabbergasted. She recalled what Nathan said to her a moment ago.
"I just called him. He said that he brought his family on a holiday. Are you sure that they moved houses?" "Yes! | saw them moving a lot of luggage. Who brings so many things on a holiday?" The lady lowered her voice and said," Doctor Tate, don't get yourself too close to this family. They are a rather strange family." "Strange? In what way?" "They are a mysterious bunch. We have been neighbors for so many years, yet they have never spoken to us once. Don't you find it strange?" The lady said confusedly,” They have been staying here for a long time. | wonder why they suddenly moved." Abad feeling rose in Avery's heart. She felt as if she was about to jump into a huge trap!
