บท 147: Left Behind

Li Na stood at the entrance of the mansion, gathering her breath. The threatening manor before her was not at all familiar, yet it exuded an eerie aura that felt like it held secrets—secrets buried deep within its stone walls, memories she would rather leave untouched. But there was no escaping it now. After unlocking, she pushed the heavy front gate open and stepped inside, the cold air from the mansion wrapping around her like a suffocating blanket.

As the gate creaked shut behind her, the silence within the gardens felt unnaturally loud. Her footsteps echoed in the vast, marble pathway, as she stared at the stone walls. She glanced around, taking in the grand yet austere surroundings. The sunlight highly illuminated the marble floors and casting pillar shadows across the corridors.
