Chapter 128
What was going on?
Everything was shrouded in total darkness, making it impossible to see anything.
Gilbert jerked his head up, looking in the direction of Sherilyn’s apartment. It was dark there too. The thought of her rundown place….
A girl like her, she must be scared, right?
Without further thought, Gilbert whipped out his phone, turned on the flashlight, and started moving.
This time, he hadn’t brought anything with him. Thanks to his long legs, he took the stairs. several at a time and quickly reached the fifth floor.
Inside the apartment, Sherilyn was using her phone as a light, rummaging through drawers for a candle.
Hearing a knock, she was surprised. Rushing to the door, she asked, “Who’s there?”
“Who else could it be?”
In the darkness, Gilbert’s deep gaze met hers. “What, you have a lot of visitors? Besides that door–to–door salesman last time, who else comes here?”
Sherilyn blinked, confused, and shook her head. “No one else.”

Sherilyn explained, “The power’s out.”
“What?” Gilbert couldn’t believe it. “A power outage?”
In this day and age? Sunhaven was such a developed place. How could there possibly be a power outage?
“That’s the thing,” Sherilyn said, “Serenity Street is in the old district. Many of the lines are ancient, so repairs are a common occurrence.”
This was something Mr. Johnson, who grew up in an affluent area, could hardly understand.
“Why…” Gilbert frowned, clearly displeased. “Why are you so stubborn about living here?”
She didn’t want to answer his question. Instead, she asked him, “Did you come up here for something?”
At that, Gilbert hesitated.
