Chapter 124

There was barely any economic development in this town, so most of the young people had relocated to the city to find a job. Hence, only the elders stayed behind.

Margaret and Jodie went around to ask for directions. Soon, they came to Mr. Xenos’ house. However, they were dumbfounded when they saw the shabby two-story house. The door was left ajar, and the grass was growing wild right in front of it. It seemed like nobody had lived in the house for a long time.

Immediately, an ominous feeling arose within Margaret. The letter I received doesn’t seem to be written recently. Could it be that the sender kept the letter with him and only posted it lately?

While Margaret was still deep in her thoughts, an elderly lady with white hair came out of the house next door. Jodie went forward and asked, “Hi, do you know if somebody who has the last name Xenos stays here? By here, I mean this two-story house…”

The lady pursed her lips and said, “I don’t think he’s staying there anymore. There hasn’t been anyone living there for the past three years. I don’t know whether the person there goes by the last name Xenos because he never talks to anyone. I heard from someone that he was diagnosed with an incurable disease, so I assume he must be dead by now. Previously, a couple with a kid stayed there. Sadly, the wife died, and I’m not sure where the child went after that. Thus, I don’t think anyone is staying there.”
