In the faint light, their gazes collided in the slightly cool air.
A moment’s pause.
Without a clear view, she still knew who was standing outside.
Glenn Hutchinson.
After a pause and adjusting her vision, Flossie Wright finally saw him clearly.
In his training uniform, drenched throughout, his epaulet distinct, from her angle, she could clearly see his eyes, deep and calm, a straight nose and thin lips, but only vaguely.
"Not sleeping?"
Leaning forward slightly, Glenn Hutchinson asked.
"Can’t sleep."
With one arm encircling her knees, Flossie Wright replied indifferently, neither cold nor warm.
After a pause, Glenn Hutchinson lowered his gaze to look at her, and followed up with another question, "Has the fever come down?"
Her response was casual.
Knowing her boundaries, Flossie Wright didn’t want to get too close to him.
Glenn Hutchinson unzipped his jacket.
One side, fully unzipped.
As the sound of the zipper echoed, a coolness invaded from outside, the breeze blowing her loose hair to the back.
Flossie Wright frowned slightly, and Glenn Hutchinson had already entered with a flashlight in hand.
Taking off his shoes, he moved in front of her and crouched down.
The flashlight was somewhat blinding, causing Flossie Wright to squint her eyes and ask, "What are you doing..."
Before she could finish, an ice-cold hand was already placed on her forehead.
It made her shiver and instinctively move back.
However, immediately afterward, another hand clutched her shoulder, stopping her from leaning back.
Flossie Wright’s mouth twitched fiercely.
Soon, the hand on her forehead was retracted.
Looking at Glenn Hutchinson’s serious face, Flossie Wright shrugged her shoulders, brushing off his hand from her shoulder and said with drowsiness, "I’m fine now."
"Did you sleep last night?"
Not in a hurry to leave, Glenn Hutchinson asked in a deep voice, his gaze locked on her.
Her gaze drifting elsewhere, Flossie Wright nodded perfunctorily.
Glenn Hutchinson extended his hand toward her.
Frowning, Flossie Wright was baffled, "Captain Hutchinson, this is my privacy."
Taking a moment, Glenn Hutchinson leaned in a bit closer, and said word by word, "I just want to know what kept you up all night."
After thinking it over, Flossie Wright couldn’t find a reason to argue.
Reluctantly, she lifted her hand and tossed him the phone.
There wasn’t much to it, she had just grown tired from gaming and was casually browsing Facebook.

So, when Glenn Hutchinson got her phone, he immediately saw an elongated picture.
[The people in the community secretly learned sign language and gave their deaf-mute neighbor a surprise.]
Below were three pictures.
A woman using sign language, bystanders watching, a man crying.
Puzzled, Glenn Hutchinson continued scrolling down quickly, and what caught his eye next was another line of text.
[After a donkey was rescued from a flood in Ireland, it smiled.]
Below was a picture with a river as the background, a man holding a donkey, smiling brightly.
The following items Glenn Hutchinson skimmed over, and after exiting he realized it was the Facebook interface. He scrolled up and down, viewing reports about a war in some African country, as well as details on the Vernon earthquake.
Current events news.
Having glanced over them briefly, Glenn Hutchinson pressed the screen button, and the phone’s light instantly went out.
With her hands around her knees, Flossie Wright’s sharp chin rested on them. Seeing Glenn Hutchinson had finished, she raised her head and arched an eyebrow, "Can you give it back to me now?"
