<. Manor No. 6, Eldoria Heights.>
"Where's my mother?"
Declan threw the question to one of the passing maids. He had just arrived at the Elsher's family main residence despite the time was still in the early afternoon.
"The madam is in the south lounge," replied the maid politely while gesturing in a direction.
Declan nodded slightly before resuming his stride. He walked toward the lounge mentioned by the maid, his steps steady and silent.
The mansion was relatively quiet at this hour. Declan actually didn't have the intention to drop by, but thinking of the current chaos surrounding their family, he still visited.
Declan slowed down before eventually stopping at the doorway, his eyes immediately found Samantha. His mother was alone, sitting on the couch.
As expected, she looked lethargic.
Declan knocked on the wooden panel of the doorway, trying to get Samantha's attention.
"...Dec? Why are you here at this hour?"
