"Eric, this is Arthur."
In that instant, all color drained from Eric's face! His pupils contracted violently in an instant—
The room was silent to begin with, and Eric didn't step away to take the call, so neither Princess Sherry nor Su Xiaomeng heard what was said on the phone.
But Eric suddenly wore an expression as if he'd seen a ghost, his blue pupils shrinking in fright, prompting Su Xiaomeng, sitting across from him, to grow curious about the phone's contents.
Eric was shocked, his mouth half open, a chill surged from the soles of his feet, instantly engulfing his extremities.
The voice... the words...
Is this... a human?
At that moment, Eric's mind completely froze!
Only these few questions came to mind, his half-opened mouth unable to produce sound.
"Whose call is it, what's wrong?"
Su Xiaomeng asked, wanting to break the inexplicable silence that was unnerving.
