It was examination week at L University. The halls were filled with silence and anxiety since late June.
Nina and Michelle were engrossed in their studies in the library, preparing for the final examinations. They were often preoccupied with books and found it difficult to free themselves from them.
John was in his office. He always sat there for the entire day, often forgetting the time. But there was one thing he could not forget. He would ask where his wife was at 5 p.m. every day.
"Where's my wife?"
Hearing that question, Richard would be at a loss. 'She's not my wife. How would I know where she is?'
He had failed to answer that question a couple of times. This time, however, he was able to answer the question. "Mrs. Shi is in L University's library."
