In case she was sound asleep, it would seem like he was being presumptuous if he woke her up by
knocking on the door.
After much thought, Skyler decided against it. He turned around, went to the bedroom, pushed open
the window, and climbed out.
The hidden clan's house was designed like an ancient building with distinct features. After climbing out
of the window and stepping on the green bricks and tiles, he easily made his way to Shirley's living
room.
Her room's window was half open. He pushed the window sash open and quietly entered the living
room.
While standing in the living room, he faintly heard a sound coming from the bedroom.
He couldn't help but feel confused. It was late, so why hadn't she gone to sleep yet?
Skyler walked toward the bedroom and pushed open the door gently. Only then did he realize that the
bedside lamp in the bedroom had been on the whole time, and there was also a phone playing hidden
clan songs that he couldn't understand.
The bedding was all messed up, but there was no sign of Shirley.
All of a sudden, Skyler panicked. Where's Shirley?
He went to the bathroom and pushed the door open, but no one was inside. He then turned and walked
out of the bedroom and went to the study, only to find it empty as well.
"Shirley?"
Skyler called out, but there was no response.
He was even more worried about Shirley now, so he returned to the bedroom, wanting to see if he
could find any clues on her whereabouts.
Standing in the bedroom, Skyler carefully observed every detail in the room, but he didn't find any signs
of struggle.
Where has she gone off to?
Just as he was pondering, he noticed the wardrobe shifting slightly.
He furrowed his brows and glanced at the ashtray on the bedside table. He picked it up, held it in his
hand, and walked slowly toward the wardrobe.
Standing next to the wardrobe, he listened quietly for any movement inside. When he heard no sound,
he reached out and grabbed the handle of the door, drawing it open abruptly.
"Ah!"
A sharp scream came from inside.
Only then did Skyler see Shirley crouched in a corner of the wardrobe, her head buried between her
knees as she trembled.
The ashtray in Skyler's hand fell to the ground with a thud. He grabbed Shirley's arm and pulled her
out, saying, "Shirley, it's me!"
Terrified, Shirley looked up and saw Skyler standing there. She hugged him tightly, burying her head in
his chest as she cried silently.
When Shirley threw herself into his arms, Skyler finally noticed that she was soaked with sweat, and
her back was drenched.
Seeing Shirley's pitiful appearance stirred up Skyler's protective instincts. For some reason, his throat
tightened, and his heart ached.
He beat himself up for it, thinking he shouldn't have deliberately teased Shirley earlier that night.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have been scared to this extent.
"Silly girl, don't be afraid. I'm here."
He held her waist with one hand and gently ran his fingers through her hair, comforting her
continuously.
"So, it was you who came in. You scared me..."
Shirley choked between sobs.
Unable to fall asleep due to her fear of the dark, Shirley kept the lights on and played some music.
However, as soon as she fell asleep, she had a series of nightmares, leaving her still shaken.
Who would have known that she would hear the faint voice outside, which frightened her so much that
she immediately hid inside the wardrobe?
When she heard someone calling her name, she was so anxious that she couldn't recognize Skyler's
voice. She even thought she was hallucinating.
Little did she know it was just Skyler.
"Alright, everything's fine. I'll keep you company. I'll stay here with you…"
Skyler nodded, let go of her, then held her hand. "If you're scared here, let's go to my room. Don't
worry, I'll… go easy on you."
Since he promised not to fool around, Shirley didn't refuse either. She quietly followed Skyler to his
adjacent suite.
After arguing with Skyler several hours ago, she returned to her own bedroom, thinking that she had
enough integrity to endure the night and gradually adapt to the darkness.
However, she had overestimated herself.
Now that Skyler had come to check on her, Shirley couldn't wait to go down the stairs and quickly
escape the cold and eerie room.
He had expected her to come over at night, so he did not lock his bedroom door. This made it
convenient for the two of them to enter.
