Sir Ares, Goodnight

Chapter 2444

The group of people trekked on the mountain road and finally reached Yorks Stronghold.

It stood to reason that when Cole Yorks, the young master of Yorks Stronghold, returned home, he should be receiving a warm welcome from the villagers of Yorks Stronghold. On the contrary, however, the entire place was terribly deserted. The scenery remained the same, and there were buildings around too. However, there was no sign of life.

Cole and Jay looked at each other, then they hurried to the house in front of them.

When they entered the house, they happened to hear the creaking of a door. Several of them paused and silently looked at the person who opened the door.

Then, they saw an elderly man coming in. Cole called out to him, "Uncle?"

However, the man seemed to be unable to hear his voice and kept walking forward.

"Is he deaf?" Josie asked.

Cole was in disbelief. "Uncle's hearing has always been very good."

Jay fixed his gaze on the old man. Seeing how slow his movements were, Jay speculated. "I think he's gone deaf and blind. Cole, go up there and ask him where the people in Yorks Stronghold have gone to."

Cole stepped forward and stood still in front of the old man. However, he noticed that the old man's eyes could not focus on him. Cole proceeded to wave his hand in front of the old man, but he did not give the slightest response. He continued to do his own thing slowly.

At this time, Cole called out to him loudly," Uncle! Can you see me?!"

The man did not respond again.

Angeline said, "He's truly deaf and blind."

Cole looked at the old man with great disappointment. Nheless, seeing that he was struggling to fetch water but his hands were able to accurately grab the handle of the bucket, Cole felt somewhat curious.

He wanted to pull the old man's hand elsewhere to see his reaction.

Unexpectedly, when his hand touched his. Cole's face turned pale in shock and he staggered backward.

Jay noticed something. He looked at

Cole with inquiring eyes, and when

he saw Cole sitting on the floorin fright, he knew that something weird was up.

"What's going on, Cole? Why are you scared witless?" Zayne asked.

Cole was so frightened that he could not speak. "He... He... He's so cold."

Zayne snorted. "I thought that you were brave? How could that scare you? The body temperature of the elderly is always colder. What's the fuss?" Cole's expression did not ease up, and he looked up at Jay with a horrified expression.

Jay was stunned for a while, then he stepped forward to get the answer himself.

When Jay walked up to the old man and touched his hand, his deep eyes instantly turned deeper. He was completely astonished.

"Oh? So, there is something wrong?" said Zayne.

Although Jay was not as scared witless as Cole was, his expression was full of surprise. Angeline asked him curiously, "Is there a problem, Jaybie?"

Jay said, "His body temperature is as cold as a reptile's."

Angeline abruptly thought of pythons. Pythons were also cold-blooded animals.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

However, she quickly shook her head. Angeline felt as if she had been possessed. Lately, everything she saw looked like a python. She would quickly associate anything that was said with pythons as well.

Jay looked at Angeline with concern in his eyes.

"Let's go, Angeline." Jay lent an arm to support Angeline as they walked to the place where jacarandas were planted in Yorks Stronghold.

He still remembered that when he

lived in Yorks Stronghold a few years ago, the old man gave him a small courtyard and he planted many jacarandas around.

"Let's look for a place to stay for now. Cole." Jay suggested.

Cole said, 'Then I'll go back home and take a look at the things there." "Mm," Jay responded.
