Chapter 847 Something Is Wrong with Shirley
What if she is sleeping soundly? Won’t I look stupid if I wake her up as I knock on the door? After giving it some thought, Skyler felt that his dignity was more important. Then, he returned to his room and climbed out of the window.
The design of the hidden clan’s house was similar to the traditional cornice bucket arch. As Skyler climbed out of the window, he stepped on the bricks and arrived at Shirley’s living room window with ease.
Seeing that the window to her room was half-opened, Skyler pushed open the window and went into the living room sneakily. As he stood in the living room, he could vaguely hear sounds coming from the bedroom. Is she still awake at this late hour?
Then, he headed toward the bedroom and gently pushed open the door. At that moment, he noticed that the night lamp was still on, and her phone was playing an unknown song from the hidden clan. Moreover, the bedsheet was crumpled into a ball, and there was no sight of Shirley.
At that moment, he felt his heart sink, and he panicked. Where is she?
He went to the bathroom and opened the door, but no one was there. Then, he turned around and headed toward the study room. However, there was still no sight of Shirley.
“Shirley?” Skyler called out, but there was no answer.
At this moment, Skyler was worried sick about her. Then, he returned to her room, trying to see if he could find any clues about her missing by checking her room thoroughly.
However, as Skyler stood in the bedroom and inspected every inch of the room, he didn’t notice anything.
Where could she have gone to?
Just as Skyler was in thought, he saw the cupboard’s door move. Then, he frowned and glanced at the ashtray by the nightstand. He grabbed it and held it tightly as he tiptoed toward the cupboard. As he stood beside it, he listened closely. When he didn’t hear anything, he grabbed the handle of the cupboard and opened it.
“Ah!” At that moment, a shriek sounded.
A few hours earlier, she had fought with Skyler and went back to her room out of rage. She had overestimated herself since she thought she could slowly adapt and endure her life in the hidden clan. Now that Skyler was there, she quickly followed him as she wanted to leave the cold and dark room.
Initially, Skyler didn’t lock the door since he thought Shirley would surely come over. Now, it was convenient for them.
When he led her into the bedroom, he made her sit on the bed and lean against the bedpost. Seeing that she was drenched in sweat, he went to the bathroom and took a towel that was soaked in water. Then, he sat beside her and gently wiped the sweat off her forehead.
Since Shirley was still terrified, she didn’t care if Skyler was gentle and caring toward her.
Noticing that something was off with her, Skyler put the towel by the table and sat cross-legged on the bed. Then, he asked, “Can you tell me why you are afraid of the dark? You didn’t seem frightened of it when we were at Bloomstead.”
