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.
