Sheldon smiled slightly, “Don't worry. My father knows who you are and recognizes your capabilities. In fact, he wants me to bring you to see him now.”

A sense of relief washed over Lucy. “Thank you, Mr. Guerrero, for your kind recommendation.”

“In that case, don't just stand there. Hurry up and see Old Mr. Guerrero. Don't let him wait too long.”

Sheldon led Lucy into the elevator.

Inside, he instructed her, “Ms. Lucy, there are a few things you should know beforehand. My father has just completed his cataract surgery. Hence, his eyes cannot be exposed to light. As a result, please don't be surprised to see his room enveloped in darkness, all right?”

Lucy nodded, “I understand. By the way, I happen to know a few excellent eye specialists whom I can recommend to Old Mr. Guerrero. Perhaps, they can be of help to him.”

Sheldon replied, “Sure, you can suggest it to him when the opportunity arises.”

That opportunity will come if you survive today. Or else, it would be nothing but wishful thinking.

When both of them reach the top floor, Sheldon opened the door carefully.

The moment Lucy stepped in, she felt a shiver down her spine.

Not only were they in total darkness, but the atmosphere was also exceptionally strange and eerie, causing a sense of dread to swell within her.

Before she could digest the situation, Sheldon opened the bedroom door. “Ms. Lucy, please come in. My father is waiting for you.”

“All right, all right.”

Desperately suppressing her fears, Lucy followed Sheldon into the bedroom.

Inside the pitch-black room, Lucy couldn't see a thing at all, causing her fears to intensify.

Sheldon remarked, “Dad, I have brought Lucy. Please enjoy.”

All right!

Sheldon added, “I'm taking my leave now. Please stay and accompany my dad.”

Crack!

The bedroom door closed.

Overwhelmed with fear, Lucy felt the urge to leave. However, the moment she turned around, she ran right into a wall.

I can't see anything at all!

Lucy gathered her courage and suggested, “Old Mr. Guerrero, why don't we chat outside. It's just too dark in here.”

“He he...”

The only response she heard was eerie laughter that caused her hair to stand on end.

Lucy continued, “Old Mr. Guerrero, coincidentally, I know a few eye specialists who are the best in the business, and they will be able to cure your eyesight. Why don't I get them to come over and treat you now?”

“Ha... Ha...”

The chilling laugh continued to echo.

Lucy had no sooner felt as if she was about to break down than a feeble voice was suddenly heard. “Help... Help...”

What's that sound? There's someone else here who's crying out for help! Can there be... danger?
