Nora Scott was awakened by thirst in the middle of the night.
With her eyes half-closed, she turned over, wanting to nudge Pedro Langley to get some water for her, but when she reached out, she found nothing but emptiness beside her. The space was cold and unoccupied.
Nora's eyes suddenly widened, and her sleepiness was gradually dispelled.

Though on weekends she occupied the master bedroom at Pedro's place to give Marcus Shaw a peaceful morning, forcing Pedro to sleep in the side room, Pedro would usually sneak back into the bed after a short time. Whenever Nora woke in the middle of the night, she would always see him immediately.
Propping herself up on her elbow, Nora sat cross-legged, rubbing her eyes and hair for a moment before she got up, pulled on her slippers, and walked out of the bedroom.
