On the other hand, after talking to the murderer on the phone, Asher kept biting his lip while pacing in the dining room. He didn't mean to say those hurtful things because he was forced to use that trick so that the murderer wouldn't really kill his wife.
He felt uneasy while cooking actually. When he took the knife, he suddenly accidentally cut his finger. However, he pretended not to feel any pain and remained calm when facing the murderer.
He felt very guilty for saying the last thing so openly as if he didn't mind his wife being killed. Now he finally decided to call his wife to make sure she was still alive.
Luckily, it didn't take even a minute for the phone call to connect.
"Sera, are you okay?"
"Why do you sound panicked? What happened?"
Asher stroked his chest while squatting."Are you sure nothing happened to you? What took you so long? I've been waiting for you for a long time."
