“Master, you finally came,” Madam Hai said excitedly.
“Let’s go,” Lu Miao nodded and walked straight into the house.
Mr. and Madam Hai hesitated and pushed each other, not daring to enter.
Lu Miao calmly said, “If there’s anything outside later, don’t run away.
Otherwise, it might stick to you and follow you for the rest of your life.” Hearing this, the couple immediately hurried to catch up with her.
Once inside the house, Lu Miao sat down on the sofa in the living room.
Madam Hai rubbed her arms nervously, feeling as if the temperature had dropped several degrees since they entered.
“Master, shouldn’t we do something?” she asked.
Lu Miao looked around and replied, ‘Yes, turn off the lights.”
“Turn off the lights?” Madam Hails voice became shrill, “It’s almost midnight now, and that sound usually starts around this time. Isn’t it dangerous to turn off the lights now?”
“If you don’t turn off the lights, that thing won’t appear, and I can’t help you,” Lu Miao shrugged.
Regret filled both Mr. and Madam Hai. If only they hadn’t turned on the lights on all three floors.
Helplessly, they tightly held each other’s arms and nervously climbed the stairs to turn off the lights.
From the top floor to the first floor, they were covered in cold sweat by the time they finished.
With the last light in the living room extinguished, the clock on the wall struck midnight, announcing the twelfth chime.
The couple quickly sat down next to Lu Miao.
It was now midnight, and the night outside was pitch black. With the lights off, they could barely see their hands in front of their faces.
The darkness engulfed them, and the silence was so profound that the only sounds were their own breathing; they couldn’t hear anyone else.
It was as if there was no one else beside them.
Madam Hai became more and more frightened. Who could it be, breathing so silently!
Her heart pounded in her chest, and she was about to speak when a eerie, wailing baby’s cry suddenly echoed.
Mr. and Madam Hai froze in their tracks, holding their breath and not daring to make a sound.
Unlike before, along with the crying, there were also slow and heavy footsteps “thud,” “thud,” “thud.” The footsteps traveled through the hallway, down the stairs, and with the crying growing closer, it seemed to be coming from the third floor, then the second floor, and finally the first floor.
In the darkness, it felt as if an unknown creature was gradually approaching them, step by step.
A cold breeze suddenly blew past the back of their necks, causing both of them to shiver. Soon after, a faint crying sound echoed from behind them.
Unable to bear it any longer, Madam Hai couldn’t help but let out a sharp scream and jumped up from the sofa. She waved her hands around in a panic, shouting, “Go away, go away!”
Amidst the chaos, Mr. Hai felt an ice-cold sensation directly on his shoulder, which frightened him so much that he frantically slapped at his own shoulder.
With a “click,” the light above their heads turned on.
Only then did Mr. Hai see that Lu Miao had already left the sofa and was standing by the chandelier switch.
“Master, 1…1 felt like that thing was right behind me. Please do something, quickly get rid of it,” Madam Hai pleaded urgently.
Mr. Hai, trembling, pointed in the direction ahead of them and said,
“Look…what’s that?”
Following his gaze, Madam Hai saw a framed painting covered in white cloth, propped up against the coffee table and facing them.
Madam Hai covered her rapidly beating chest and approached the painting with a hesitant hand. She reached out and pulled the white cloth off.
Inside was the unfinished oil painting from the second floor storage room!
But at this moment, the woman in the red dress on the painting seemed to come alive. Her eyes stared straight at them, and her lips curled into a sinister smile.
Earlier that afternoon, after Lu Miao left, Madam Hai had personally locked the storage room!
Madam Hai’s face turned ashen, and she took several steps back in fear.
“It must be her! She must have come back for revenge with her child! It’s her, it’s her!” she screamed.
Hearing this, Mr. Hail s face turned extremely ugly. “I told you not to do this before. You insisted on not listening to me, and now she’s come back for revenge.”
“Master, please catch her!” Madam Hai pleaded, her face pale, and her voice trembling.
“It was you who killed her and her child. I’m sorry, I can’t help you,” Lu Miao said directly and began to leave.
“I didn’t do it, it wasn’t me!” Madam Hai desperately reached out to stop her.
“It was her own doing. She knew we disagreed with her marrying my son, but she insisted on being with him and even used the child as a threat to enter our family. 1…1 just didn’t want to be threatened by her, so I put an abortion drug in her drink.
I never wanted to kill her. It was her own decision to jumped off the building when she went back. It has nothing to do with me, it wasn’t me who killed her,” Madam Hai cried out.
“You’re lying. You gave her an overdose of the drug and delayed getting her medical attention, resulting in her having to undergo a hysterectomy. She was so desperate that she jumped off the building. It’s because of you,” Lu Miao said coldly.
Madam Hai collapsed to the ground, crying, “I was just worried that the drug wouldn’t be enough to induce an abortion, so I tried to delay them. I really didn’t want to kill her.”
That night, after they had dinner and returned to their respective rooms, the woman started experiencing stomach pains.
That night, after dinner, they went back to their rooms. Not long after, the woman began to have a stomachache.
At that time, their son, Little You, wanted to carry her to the hospital. When she saw that the woman did not even bleed, she was worried that the medicine was not effective enough and that sending her to the hospital immediately would make all her previous efforts go to waste, so she stopped them.
Later, the woman had a miscarriage in the bathroom on the second floor.
“You’re lying. You gave her too much medicine and delayed the time to send her to the hospital, causing her to have her uterus removed. She was so desperate that she jumped off the building.”Lu Miao said coldly.
“You’re lying. You gave her too much medicine and delayed the time to send her to the hospital, causing her to have her uterus removed. She was so desperate that she jumped off the building.”Lu Miao said coldly.
Mrs. Hai cried and fell to the ground.” I was just worried that the medicine wasn’t enough to stop the bleeding. I was afraid that if we sent the child to the hospital too early, we could still save her, so I stopped them for a while. I really didn’t want to kill her.””
That night, after they had dinner and returned to their respective rooms, the woman started experiencing stomach pains.
At that time, their son Xiao You wanted to take her to the hospital, but she saw that the woman didn’t even have any bleeding. Worried that the drug might not be effective enough and that taking her to the hospital would ruin everything, she stopped them.
Later, the woman had a miscarriage in the second-floor bathroom.
