NovelEnglishChapter 289: As Marissa ascended to the second floor, Domenic, Marc, and Terry grew increasingly nervous.

In a rush of panic, the three men followed Marissa closely and intercepted her in the hallway.

She stopped at her old bedroom, opened the door, and stepped inside. Domenic, Marc, and Terry stared in astonishment. As the door shut behind her, they blinked, bewildered yet relieved. They guessed that Connor might be hiding in his study, while Marissa had locked herself in the bedroom. It seemed the two would not meet each other for now.
After a brief silence, Domenic said to the others, "You stay here and keep an eye on Miss Nash's movements. I'll update Mr. Daniels on the situation."

"Her eyes were unfocused. It seemed like she wasn't thinking clearly. It's not like her at all." "I noticed it too," Domenic added. "I'm not sure what's happening. I'll update Mr. Daniels about this." With that, Domenic turned and made his way to Connor's study. As he entered, Connor immediately asked anxiously, "Has she left?" Domenic paused before answering, "Mr. Daniels, Miss Nash went into her bedroom." Connor raised his eyebrows, puzzled. "Why did she go into the bedroom?" "I'm not sure," Domenic said, shaking his head. “Miss Nash locked the door from the inside as soon as she entered. We couldn't see what she was up to." With a deep frown, Connor couldn't make sense of Marissa's actions either. After a moment, Domenic added, "Mr. Daniels, something seemed off about Miss Nash..." Connor looked up at him. "What do you mean?" Domenic furrowed his brow, searching for the right words. "Miss Nash... her eyes were unfocused. Even though she was moving and doing things, it seemed like she wasn't fully functioning. It was as if... she was like a robot." Connor's brow creased deeply as he struggled to grasp the situation described by Domenic.
As they puzzled over this, a loud bang sounded from outside the door, startling both men in the study. Immediately, Connor got to his feet and hurried out of the room.
Marc and Terry were equally bewildered by the sudden noise. Connor approached them, lowered his voice, and asked, "What was that noise from Miss Nash's bedroom?" Marc quickly responded, "We're not sure either. The door was locked from the inside. We didn't dare to force it open." Connor stared at the door, puzzled over the source of such a loud noise. Was she demolishing something inside? A moment later, he pushed the door open and stepped in. To his astonishment, the room was empty. Connor quickly checked the bathroom and the closet but found no sign of Marissa. With a frown, he turned to the others. "Where is she?"
