The butler nodded and headed out to invite the guest in.

Soon, Shane entered the house.

Sam smiled and greeted him. “It's rare you come home, Shane. Is something the matter?”

Catherine looked at the man as well and said, “Sit down, Shane.”

“I'm fine,” he rejected. He then looked at Sam and replied, “I want to look at my parents' room.”

“That room?” Sam frowned. “It's been closed off for over ten years. What's there to see? It's not been cleaned

either. You better not go in.”

“It's fine. I only want to take a look. I won't touch anything.” After saying that, Shane then headed upstairs.

Instantly, the couple downstairs leaned towards each other.

Catherine asked in a low voice, “What do you think he's trying to do, Darling? He suddenly wants to look at his

parents' room. Do you think he found out about something?”

“Don't sprout nonsense.” He glared at her solemnly. “If there really was something, it would have been discovered

long ago. It wouldn't only be found now.”

“That's true.” Catherine nodded, though she was still a little worried. “Since there can't be anything right away, why

exactly does he want to go in?”

“Don't worry. I'll go take a look at what he's up to,” Sam replied before heading off.

Upstairs, Shane stood in front of a room whose door had traces of age. He slowly reached out and pushed open the

door.

Once the door swung open, a strong, musty smell came from inside the room. Moreover, there was a faint smell of

dust in the air. The man frowned and waved his hands in front of his face. When the dust gradually settled, he then

switched on the lights.

Since the light had not been turned on for over ten years, it flickered unstably a few times before fully turning on.

In that instant, he finally saw everything clearly in the room.

Everything was the same as in the past, with no change except that the colors had faded. Dust and spider webs

were everywhere, making the room feel desolate.

He pressed his lips together and walked inside. As he stood in the middle of the room, he looked around, his eyes

darting in every corner.

Although the room still looked the same, the people in it were no more.

“Shane.”

Just as Shane was recalling the past, Sam's voice brought him back to reality.

The man turned around, displeased. “What's the matter, Uncle Thompson?”

“It's nothing. I just came up to check on you,” replied Sam as he walked over. “Shane, why'd you suddenly think of

coming in?” he asked, his eyes observing Shane cautiously. It was as though Sam was trying to find out about

something.

Shane looked at his uncle calmly and replied, “For all these years, I've never given up on finding the culprit that

caused their car accident back then. Now that the culprit appeared, I can finally face all of this.”

“What? The culprit showed up?” As soon as Sam heard those words, his expression changed drastically, and he

raised his voice.

Shane narrowed his eyes. “What's with that reaction?”

“Uh...” Sam swallowed before he smiled sullenly. “I'm happy. Your dad's my only brother, after all. He left so

suddenly that year. Like you, I was very upset. Now that I know that the culprit has appeared, I feel very happy.”

Although the man spoke in a serious tone, the hand he held behind his back was trembling slightly.

However, Shane did not seem to notice anything strange. He looked away before he replied, “I see. It's good that

you're happy, Uncle Thompson.”

At that, Sam sighed and barely suppressed his complex feelings before he asked, “Who's the culprit, Shane?”

Upon hearing the question, the man lowered his eyes. “They're dead.”

“Dead?” Sam asked with widened eyes.

His nephew merely hummed in reply.

Seeing that Shane was not lying, Sam lowered his head and heaved a sigh of relief. However, he instead spoke in a

regretful tone, “What a shame. Then, do you still plan to investigate the accident?”

“No,” Shane replied before pressing his lips together.

Since Yulia was dead, he did not see any reason to investigate the matter any longer.

Instead, what he had to consider now was his relationship with Natalie.
