After listening to Matilda's explanation, Naomi slowly turns her face to the direction where her father went. She no longer sees the car, but her face is now painted with worry.In the past few days, her father has often behaved strangely, always filled with excessive fear, worried about people who might be after his life.Adam even said that he was visited by Anastasia Nixon and her Chihuahua, both in his dreams and when he was conscious.And Naomi, who does believe in superstition, has also called a psychic to cleanse her house of all forms of negative energy. But it seems that wasn't enough.“Alfred! We need to call Mr. Immanuel Chicote back to cleanse my house.”Alfred is grimacing as soon as he hears what Naomi has just said. And of course, Naomi understands very well what his reaction means.“I know this sounds stupid to you,” Naomi continues impatiently. “But we have no other choice. I know for sure that my father is not crazy. Of all the hallucinations he has, he sees the ghost
Carefully, she starts tidying the bedroom without disrupting the arrangement of those strange objects. Until a few moments later, she feels a strange breezy softly blowing her beautiful hair.It could just be the wind coming out from the bathroom with an unclosed window. But she thinks it is some kind of bad premonition.Feeling eerie, she immediately gets out of the room while taking her phone out to make a call.[Immanuel Chicote here!]“Mr. Chicote! It’s me, Naomi Saunders!”[My child! How is your father’s situation?”“Um, could you come here, please? I don’t feel quite right about the situation in this house.”[Sure! I’ll be right there!]Not daring to be alone on that second floor, she hurries down to the kitchen to see the maids.“Matilda! Could you make lemonade tea for me?” She politely asks before taking a seat.“We've used all the lemons yesterday?” Matilda deplores. “It's something that Anastasia Nixon didn't like, and that Mr. Chicote used as a talisman to keep her away fro
Alfred looks so mad, but his eyes are red and sparkling with tears due to anguish and despair. And Mr. Chicote, like he doesn’t give a damn what causes Alfred’s sorrow, suddenly slaps him in the face and yells back.“Just because you can’t see them, doesn’t mean they don’t exist! It’s like your brain, no matter how stupid you are, you still have a brain even though you can’t see it. It’s either you are ignorant, or you know it but deliberately let the devil use you to lead people astray!”Alfred is stunned, his face looks baffled. Not because the word has succeeded in providing enlightenment, but because of the old man’s audacity in slapping him in front of other people.He grabs the man’s black robe with just his left hand and then pushes him hard against the wall, making the glass wall shake with it.The nurse tries to stop the fight, but Alfred ignores her and brings his face closer to Mr. Chicote.“How dare you slap my face? Even my boss never did that to me!” He croaks, his voice
As if no longer having the strength to stand on two feet, Naomi lifelessly kneels down with a pitiful pale face. Her eyes are watery, and her two hands with trembling fingers covering her mouth.As an educated person, she knows so well that it’s already too late to save her father’s life. Not even the best doctor in the world can save Adam Saunders’ life.On the other hand, Mr. Chicote can no longer argue the two doctors anymore. He looks so stupid, gulping with a pale face, realizing how fuck up he is at the moment.“Now you realize how stupid you have been in my eyes?” Alfred, who has just come out of the isolation room, states coldly to Mr. Chicote’s face. “I don't care whether ghosts exist or not. But I can say for sure that you are just a swindler, taking advantage of other people's suffering to extort their money.”“Nonsense!” Mr. Chicote refutes. “She was the one who asked for my help, and I do what I can do based on my knowledge.”“Based on your knowledge? So what about the gho
In a spacious bedroom, a man sits on a wheelchair while rubbing the knees on both of his legs. The name is Thomas Hendrix, currently being cared for in a mansion of his fiancée. It’s been three weeks since he lost the ability to walk.The door opens. A 21 year-old girl named Sylvia enters the room bringing a meal and a glass of water. She is such a swan with a luxurious gown, but her eyes are icy cold.She puts the dish and the glass on the table in front of Thomas, and then waits in silence. Just when Thomas tries to enjoy the meal…“How long must we act like slaves to that countryside puppy?”“It annoys me, Mom! Seeing a respectable girl in the Gregory Family treating a bump like him!”It’s Sylvia’s aunt and the aunt's teenage daughter. They aren’t holding back in expressing their disgust towards Thomas from outside the room.It kills off Thomas’ appetite. He puts down the spoon, and holds his hunger. When Sylvia is about to pick up the dish and the spoon, Thomas holds her hand gentl
Leon Williamson also approaches Thomas with heavy steps. He looks so pissed off, snatching a glass of drink from a maid as he walks, and then coldly pours it on Thomas' head.“If you feel our kindness has hurt your pride, then leave this house without the wheelchair we bought you! Let’s see how you are going to avenge us for this humiliation!”Thomas, who can’t even move his legs, can only stare while Leon pours the drink on his head. His eyes are burning with rage.Initially, he just wanted to leave and forget everything between him and Sylvia. But now, the provocations have completely ignited the fire of resentment in him.His fists clenched tightly. He likes to smack the man so hard. But too sad, he can’t even get up to send his knuckle on Leon’s smug face.Still looking down at Thomas, Sylvia scrunches her face so hard due to immeasurable hatred she harbors toward him.“Greed has made you naive, thinking you can squeeze my grandpa’s money by using me! If you still have pride as a m
In the room near the kitchen, Carina is busy preparing for her departure. But then, a commotion at the backyard distracts her. It is so noisy with dogs’ barking.She goes to the window, and sees Thomas limping into the woods, with several guards following him by taking their dogs.“Oh, God! Thomas!”She rushes getting out of the room, but accidentally bumps into Laura.“I need you to know that starting tomorrow, you no longer work for us,” Laura informs with a glare.“I’ve packed my stuff,” says Carina. “But please excuse me! There’s something I need to do.”Laura grabs Carina’s hand before she leaves. “It’s a good thing you’ve prepared for your departure. Now leave this house right away.”“But…”“Now!” Laura scolds. “Or I’ll call the guards to kick you out of this house!”Carina clenches her hands tightly, with an urge to punch the annoying lady’s face. But she holds it in and drags her belongings so she can immediately do something to help Thomas.Soon after she gets out of the house
The gun slips from his right hand. His grip on the edge of the cliff with his left hand also slips, and he falls with the dog still gnawing his hand with its wet teeth.In panic, Thomas issues a specific command.“Inventory! Box No. 2!”It’s weird for him to issue such a command in that situation. But suddenly, a blue light appears in the air with some sparks of lightning, and a gun drops from it.He grabs the gun, and points it so close at the dog’s belly. And then…Bang, bang!!!Two bullets are logged in the dog’s chest. They both fall into the river. Sadly, just like Thomas has worried before, his legs aren’t strong enough to help him to swim.The strong current drives him downstream. Just by depending on his arms, he tries his best to get some air to breath.After all the struggles, and once he manages to get his head to the surface, he sees the edge of a waterfall. It looks quite wild.“Oh, God! Why do you hate me so much?”Looking so resigned, he surrenders to his fate. In the en
