Kane's parents , who had been abroad on a business trip , rushed back home upon hearing the news . It took every ounce of effort to stabilize the panicked shareholders and keep the company from collapsing entirely . After managing the corporate crisis , they hurriedly drove to the mansion .

They had not expected their son's condition to deteriorate to the point of refusing food . They rushed upstairs . Just as the servant described , no matter how much they knocked or called out , there was no response from inside . Kane's mother , her heart heavy with worry , turned to her husband . " Do you think something's happened to our son in there ? " Without hesitation , Kane's father ordered the bodyguards to kick the door open . Unlocked Chapter 17 Once the door was forced open , they found the room shrouded in darkness , the curtains drawn so tightly that not a single ray of light could seep through . Kane remained curled up in the same position , clutching the torn mate ceremony dress in his arms . Even as the sound of people entering the room filled the air , he showed no reaction at all . Kane's mother's eyes reddened the moment she saw his visibly gaunt and sunken face .
