Elspeth wasn't bothered by the episode that happened just now. Subsequently, she followed Frank to Michael's backyard.
Contrary to her expectation, Michael's backyard was not as magnificent as she imagined. In fact, it was fairly simple.
This was also the first time she had visited this place, but she had a feeling of déjà vu.
Right! Helena's house seemed to have similar furnishing.
After taking a few more steps into the yard, she noticed how luscious the trees that almost blocked the path they were walking on were.
Frank pointed to a room near the wall. "That is Grandpa's room. When you enter later, knock on the door three times."
Elspeth nodded. Maybe this was another rule set by Michael.
"I won't go in with you. You're on your own."
Frank was trying to avoid the situation this time.

"If I go in with you, he's definitely going to nag at me. Besides, I don't think he wants to see me now."
He's right. Elspeth pondered for a moment and decided not to force him to come with her.
When she knocked thrice on the carved wooden door, a furious voice sounded.
"I said I don't want to see anyone today! Get out!"
Hearing how furiously energetic he sounded, she figured that there was no major issue with him.

As soon as she blurted those words, the old man went silent.
It took a while before a manly and stern voice sounded. "Come in."
