Ex-Husband’s Endless Pestering

Chapter 217

Chapter 217

“Clifford, wake up,” Ashley said, calling the caregiver’s name in panic and not daring to let him sleep.

Clifford Colbeck, the caregiver, opened his eyes in a daze and glanced at Ashley. “Ms. Long, what’s the matter?”

“Window! There’s something outside the window!” Ashley’s voice trembled.

Clifford frowned and looked out of the window in confusion. “There’s nothing.”

“Don’t… Don’t you hear anything?” Ashley’s breathing stagnated.

“Hear anything? Is it the sewer pipe?” Clifford was a little puzzled.

“No… There was a knock on the window.” Ashley was trembling as she could still hear the knocking.

She wondered why Clifford did not hear that.

Clifford stood up and walked to the window. “Miss, we’re on the fourth floor. It’s impossible for someone to knock on the window. Also, there’s nothing outside.”

Ashley listened carefully and made sure there was no more sound before she turned around to take a look.

“Did I really hear it wrong?” she wondered.

But when she turned around, Ashley was so terrified that she couldn’t even scream.

She stammered, “Y–You… Look!”

A black figure swayed outside the window with a rope hanging around his neck.

Ashley trembled all over. She knew Zachary’s father had hanged himself in prison.

“No. Don’t come here. Don’t come near me. Please. Don’t come to me.”

Clifford looked at Ashley in surprise. “Ms. Long, what are you talking about? There’s no one outside.”

“Don’t come to me, please. I didn’t mean to kill you. Please. I–I only wanted to escape from that family and find wealthier family… family wanted to adopt me, but you insisted on adopting me. If I didn’t frame you, I could
