Chapter 472
She lowered her head, looking at the lock. It had sharp edges.
She raised her hand and grasped the lock. She swept her palm across the jagged edge after pressing it firmly against it.
Immediately, blood spurted from her hand, soaking the lock.
Natalia gripped the lock tightly as she felt a burning sensation on her palm.
Her dark blue eyes glowed as she made her final attempt. Taking hold of the lock, she exerted all her strength to pull it.
She moved back when the lock broke, and it came to her hand from the door.
She was surprised to see that the lock had finally broken.
She returned the lock to its previous position without closing it.
She lifted her head and took a few shaky breaths before opening the door.
As soon as she opened it, she felt as though she was blinded. Because all she could see was darkness inside.
She stepped inside the room.
She flinched as the door behind her slammed loudly.
There was no more light coming from the open door. The darkness completely engulfed her in its grasp.
She started moving her hands to find a window so she could use the moonlight to see what was inside the room.noveldrama
"I am an idiot. I should have brought my phone with me."
While she was moving in a certain direction, she reprimanded herself.
'But after two defeats, who thought I could open the door tonight?" she mumbled.
Unexpectedly, she found a window.
As soon as she opened the window, she looked at the moon, who was shining brightly.
She expected that she would see something very mysterious inside.
She was ready to see it.
So she opened the window widely to let the moonlight inside and turned around to see what was inside the room.
She was stunned when she saw the whole room was empty. There was no furniture, paintings, or anything.
However, there was something on the ground.
It was an urn.
Around it were many lines. They resembled a star. The urn was positioned in the center of the star.
"What is so important in it that Dad has been hiding and that Hazel's family wants?"
While mumbling, she dashed to the urn to look inside.
But just as she was about to reach the urn, her legs tripped on something, despite the fact that there was nothing else around her but the lines drawn with white chalk.
She fell to the ground. Her hand brushed against the urn, causing it to crash loudly against the floor.
Her eyes widened when she noticed the urn had broken.
But that was not the end of her surprises.
Her heart started to beat faster when she reached out to touch the ashes that spilled from the broken urn on the ground.
Before she could touch it, all of the lines that resembled a big star caught fire, preventing her from doing so.
As the fire approached, she clutched her belly and backed away. She was still on the floor, so she could only move backward.
She came to the realization that she had reached the center of the star, and the fire was all around her.
