SONATE OF DEATH

Chapter 8: WHITE’S FAMILY

"What did you ask me to come out here for? I have to teach it today. I don't have time to play with you!"

Drusilla put two cups of milk tea on the table, then gently rebuked me. It has been a week since the day I visited my mother's grave, I have always wanted to find an opportunity to make an appointment to meet Drusilla, but I always received her refusal. Indeed, it seems that you are trying to avoid me. That's all I thought, but I need to clearly investigate Giselle's death and the curse on room 304, so I'll get to the main issue.

"Did you know that in the past, room 304 where you lived, there had been two cases. One was a girl named Elsa Hilton and two years later, a girl named Giselle also died in this room."

"Just old stories. Did you hear the students say something stupid? I told you, rom 304 is still inhabited now, don't stay there and listen to rumors.",Drusilla meant to avoid my question.

"The person who donated his eyes to me was Giselle, the girl who died in Phong 304 years ago. You probably don't know about it, where did you meet Giselle? She said she wanted me to help her investigate the old curse of room 304." ,I still look straight at Drusilla said.

"Ambiguous, don't bring the ghost stories that the students say over and over again. Yes, room 304 has had a murder but that doesn't mean that room has ghosts or any other strange phenomenon. Thalia,

 now that my eyes are clear, I should try harder in my studies, not pay attention to the evil things that my friends and students tell me." ,Drusilla shouted.

"Then why did you find out about Bach Lien's death? You already know who Lotus White is, right? I also want to know why Lotus White committed suicide in the past. I think it's all related and it's about you." I said frankly, "I have found more documents that in the past Minh Hung, who was said to have killed Giselle, he studied her and knew that she was always researching about Bach Lien's death in the past."

Drusillawas silent, she did not continue to receive a cup of milk tea. Gently placing the cup of milk tea on the table, she looked straight at me as if to say: Don't learn more about this.

"Lotus White is our grandmother" ,Drusilla let out a sigh "I know that my grandmother committed suicide at a very young age. Before grandma passed away, she sent our mother to her aunt who had helped her in the past, and then told her to find out her death later to escape the curse of the Bach family. That's all you know."

Drusilla's tears fell into the milk tea cup placed on the table. I guess I think that the younger brother I always loved is now turning to doubt me, it's really shocking. For a moment, I felt extremely sorry for Drusilla, actually Drusilla loves me very much, why in a moment of excitement do I doubt her? Really bad.

"I'm sorry, sister. I was wrong. Maybe I shouldn't have doubted you. Sister, don't be sad about Thalia anymore. I promise to be good, not to have anything to do with this incident again and to study well so that my second sister won't be sad" I lowered my face apologetically.

Drusilla patted my head and then we both went back to the dormitory. The feeling that the two sisters are walking in the same direction, there is no doubt in their hearts. Is it because I was too suspicious, thinking that my second sister would have something to do with Elsa's death or Giselle even suspected that she was related to the curse of room 304. Now, I just hi I hope Drusilla doesn't resent me. I look at her, smile, maybe between family, need a trust to tie everything together.

Returning to room 304, I saw two sisters Louise and Jane sitting and studying. Seeing me, both sisters smiled, Jane looked at me with a expectant expression, waiting for an answer from me but I shook her head slightly, her eyes were a little sad but she smiled at me.

I took the trash from the room down to the yard to throw it away, at the same time, I saw Jacob. He looked at me with a bit worried and sad eyes, but so far he never explained to me about the things he did before, kept forcing me to find answers.

"Did you go to see Drusilla today?" ,Jacob asked.

"So what? What does it have to do with you? I went to my sister to ask about something." I replied nonchalantly

Jacob approached me, my heart naturally fluttered a little. From the moment I met him in the hospital, I was captivated by his handsomeness, however, when I found out that he was Luc Anh's boyfriend, I quickly chased away the crazy thought that was ringing in my head. Jacob's face is getting closer and closer to me. My cheeks were red as if they were about to explode.

"Jany told you already?" Jacob smiled slightly "she gave me everything she learned about the old case. she even told me he believes in you.

"Did you say Jane talked to you? How? Can't she see your soul?" I am surprised.

"She went to the hospital, where I was staying, to talk to me" Jacob cupped my head. "You're such an idiot, but you don't know."

"What can I do? You and I are not very close either" I'm shy "It is true that I went to Drusilla today to ask about Lotus White and Giselle's death, but it doesn't seem to be related to her."

Jacob's eyebrows are a little wrinkled. He and I walked around the dormitory yard together. He suddenly exclaimed: "White's family is a famous silk merchant in China. They decided to return to Vietnam and build a house, saying it was to enjoy the blessings of their children and grandchildren, but in reality it was just an illusion. It is not natural for the Bach family to be extremely rich, simply because they raised the wormwood tree."

"Dark Magic? How can that be?" I was surprised "You mean because this charm caused the massacre of the White family in the past?"

"No! They were betrayed because there was a member of the White family with a very special bloodline. Because in order to refine the wormwood tree, they will often take the blood of the virgin daughter in the family to feed the wormwood tree. The more this wormwood grows, the stronger their clan grows."

"So could that girl someone named...."

"That's right, Lotus White is the girl who made the White family in one night, from old to young, no longer live. Lotus White was raised by the White family to become a sacrifice for wormwood, but when she learned of her family's brutal plan, she committed suicide to end her life. Although the White family members still use her blood to water the wormwood tree, but do not understand why the blood tree suddenly died, from that night, the Bach family died from one person, from another person, and died unknown reason."

"I know the reason." I felt really painful inside, so the grandmother had to suffer so much "Lotus White's blood was no longer pure, she had a daughter. That daughter's name is Almira White."

"How do you know this, I have not investigated this matter yet. Really talented" Jacob patted my head.

I smiled slightly, but my heart was extremely painful, so these stories are no longer the story of room 304 or Giselle's story, but the story of my family: "Because Almira White is my mother."

Jacob's eyes were round, maybe because he was so surprised, I was also surprised to know that the girl who jumped from the railing in my dreams was my grandmother. It turned out that my grandmother sacrificed herself to protect my mother in order to go against the family rules. It's a sad story.

"I just found out. Second sister told me, she spent a lot of effort to find out the truth, she must have been very sad when she found out about this." I continued.

"No. Y Linh, she only spoke Buddha's mind. She killed people not only once, Elsa's death, the old Lotus White case were all related to her.."

In the distance, perhaps Thalia did not see, a pair of eyes looked at her as if examining something: "It already knows too much."
