The butler nodded and headed out to invite the guest in.
Soon, Shane entered the house.
Sam smiled and greeted him. “It’s rare you come home, Shane. Is something the matter?”
Catherine looked at the man as well and said, “Sit down, Shane.”
“I’m fine,” he rejected. He then looked at Sam and replied, “I want to look at my parents’ room.”
“That room?” Sam frowned. “It’s been closed off for over ten years. What’s there to see? It’s not been cleaned either. You better not go in.”
“It’s fine. I only want to take a look. I won’t touch anything.” After saying that, Shane then headed upstairs.
Instantly, the couple downstairs leaned towards each other.
Catherine asked in a low voice, “What do you think he’s trying to do, Darling? He suddenly wants to look at his parents’ room. Do you think he found out about something?”
“Don’t sprout nonsense.” He glared at her solemnly. “If there really was something, it would have been discovered long ago. It wouldn’t only be found now.”
“That’s true.” Catherine nodded, though she was still a little worried. “Since there can’t be anything right away, why exactly does he want to go in?”
“Don’t worry. I’ll go take a look at what he’s up to,” Sam replied before heading off.
Upstairs, Shane stood in front of a room whose door had traces of age. He slowly reached out and pushed open the door.
Once the door swung open, a strong, musty smell came from inside the room. Moreover, there was a faint smell of dust in the air. The man frowned and waved his hands in front of his face. When the dust gradually settled, he then switched on the lights.
Since the light had not been turned on for over ten years, it flickered unstably a few times before fully turning on.
In that instant, he finally saw everything clearly in the room.
Everything was the same as in the past, with no change except that the colors had faded. Dust and spider webs were everywhere, making the room feel desolate.
He pressed his lips together and walked inside. As he stood in the middle of the room, he looked around, his eyes darting in every corner.
