Katie couldnt understand anything that he was saying. When she saw him lower his head, she took the initiative to lick his cheek affectionately.
The cats tongue felt ticklish on his face, and it made his face wet.
Even though it felt a little uncomfortable, it was nothing compared to the joy of holding a cat that he loved.
Katie, wheres my dad? Having said that, Joey moved his eyes around.

The corridor was silent, and his father was nowhere to be found.
Silence ensued for a moment.
Meow!
Joey looked at Katie. It was then that he came up with an idea. He wanted to stroll around Sue Garden.
If I walk around now, my dad wont suspect a thing, will he, Katie
Meow! Katie responded by reflex.
Well, I think my reasoning is sound. In any case, lets go! Joey made up his mind, nodding in agreement when he heard the cats response. Then, he left the room, carrying Katie in his arms.
As he walked on, he indulged in his thoughts.

Seemingly wanting to stretch herself, Katie jumped out of his arms and forced him to stop. From the corner of his eye, Joey saw the light coming from the crack of the door.
It appeared that the light inside the room was on.
Is it a servants lounge? However, this was the third floor, and the servants quarters were all downstairs. Driven by curiosity, Joey eventually held the doorknob. Carefully, he turned it and pushed the door open.
The light spread throughout the room, accompanied by a faint smell of tobacco.
Joey peered through the crack of the door and saw a person smoking at the balcony. Behind him was an incandescent white light, which reflected off his shoulder and created a ghostly luminescence. The man stood beneath the moonlit night, looking cold and desolate.
This man was none other than Victor.
