The Return of the War Legate

Chapter 612

Nadine pointed upstairs, and Adrian brought her with him to the old man’s study without a second thought.

When he opened the door and shone his flashlight inside, he suddenly saw a man sitting before the desk. This man’s presence was enough to cause Nadine’s scalp to tingle and her legs to tremble once more.

Adrian held her by the waist and stood outside the door as he looked at the man.

The man was wearing a coat, with his elbows against the desk and his palms against his head. The man had completely decomposed, leaving behind a layer of darkened skin that had freckles all over it.

His nails were long and blackish-purple in color.

“Grandfather?” Nadine immediately said when she took a good look.

“This is your grandfather?” Adrian asked.

Nadine nodded profusely as she replied, “That’s him, but isn’t he buried? I was there when they buried his coffin. What’s he doing here?”

She was stunned, wondering how a man who should have been buried was doing in his own study as a corpse.
