"An orphan? That's really unfortunate."
Eudora quickly adjusted her emotions, feeling sorry that a girl could disappear without a trace like this. It was truly pitiful.
She stood in front of the corpse and bowed three times. "Don't worry. Once we get out, we will definitely take you out with us."
Although it was a small gesture, it truly made Colbert feel that Eudora was a kind-hearted girl.
She possessed the initial innocence, simplicity, and kindness.
He grabbed her hand firmly. "Let's go. Quickly find an exit. Otherwise, staying here will be a dead end. Turn off your phone temporarily. Save some battery power for later."
Led by Colbert, Eudora felt his warm palm comforting her slightly cool hand, and a sudden sense of relief washed over her tense heart.
Eudora didn't struggle or resist because she knew they were trapped in a secret room and could encounter danger at any moment or trigger a mechanism. The safest option was to hold hands and move forward.
"Alright."
She nodded and turned off her phone.
The two of them walked through the corridors of the secret room, observing the polished stone pedestals that formed the walls adorned with carvings of ancient mythical beasts.
Colbert put away his phone and, in a momentary glance, noticed Eudora's feet. He immediately took off his own leather shoes and stood barefoot on the ground. "Put these shoes on."
Since she had come to a wedding today, he had her change into a dress. To match her outfit, Eudora had chosen a pair of high heels.
When they fell from above, tumbling through the narrow passage, he was only concerned with holding onto Eudora, so the shoes were long gone.
Besides, even if she had high heels, they weren't suitable to wear in the secret room.
Eudora looked at his black leather shoes on the ground and smirked. "Are you sure my feet can fit in your shoes?"
