I let out a sigh of relief. I wondered if they were still at the Yard household.
After sending out the message, I did not sit idly by and began to wonder if there was a chance for me to get out.
I looked around the room. Apart from a desk, a chair, and a bed, the only things left were books.
It looked like I could only wait.
I leaned beside the bed. Nothing happened even after I waited for a while.
They were probably still here. Otherwise, they would have brought me out of here a long time ago.
Right at this moment, I heard something outside the door. It sounded like someone was opening the door.
I hurriedly stood up. Could they have found me?
The door slowly opened, and Silas’ face, which looked like he had gone through vicissitudes, came into view. He was standing at the door, his hand on his cane. His gaze looked much colder than before.
I could not help shivering, the joy in my eyes instantly changing.
Seemingly having noticed that change, a hint of displeasure froze across his expressionless face.
Silas tilted his head, his voice thick and deep. “Did you know?”
What was he asking?
Was he referring to Shannon and the rest coming to the Yard household?
I did not dare act rashly. I frowned and asked, "Know what?"
“You don't know?” Silas asked again, but the expression on his face had eased a little.
I did not understand the question even more. I turned around and responded decisively, "I don't.”
Immediately after that, I heard Silas sigh before saying to the subordinate next to him, “Send the lady back to the room.”
I could only accept my fate.
