“I'm done. I was planning to bring them over tomorrow.” Natalie was peeling an apple as she spoke.
Sally nodded. “Okay, I'll tell them that then.”
“Thanks.”
After Sally left, Natalie cut the peeled apple in half and gave it to her kids. She then sent them
upstairs to play.
Just then, one of the housekeepers walked over with a parcel.
“Madam, your parcel.” The housekeeper handed Natalie the parcel.
Natalie was perplexed. “Who sent it?”
I didn't purchase anything online.
“I don't know. There's no message written anywhere. It only says it's for you, Madam. I just found it
lying in our mailbox.”
Natalie flashed her a smile. “Got it. I'll let you get back to your work then.”

Natalie was the only one left in the living room.
She carefully inspected the parcel for any notes. Suspicion arose in her heart when she couldn't find any.

Natalie pursed her lips and picked up the fruit knife.
She wanted to see what was inside the parcel.
Very soon, the parcel was cut open.
Natalie put the fruit knife down and opened the box.
However, a fetid stench wafted out of the small slit.

Sally saw her bent over with a look of discomfort when she hung up the call. “Nat, are you okay?”
she asked worriedly.
Natalie waved her hand and didn't reply.
Sally patted her back. “Nat, are you having morning sickness?”
“No, it's that...” Natalie propped a hand against her forehead and pointed at the box on the coffee
table.
Sally turned around and stared at the box curiously. “What is it?”
“I don't know. A fetid stench came from the box when I opened it. I was almost knocked out by the
horrid smell.” Natalie poured herself a cup of water and drank it in an attempt to calm herself down.
“Fetid stench?” Sally stood up. “I'm pretty sure it's either trash or rotten flesh then. It can't be, can
it?”
Natalie frowned. “I don't know. I haven't looked.”
Natalie pursed her lips and picked up the fruit knife.
