Ex-Husband’s Endless Pestering

Chapter 220

The woman on the next bed spoke while eating pistachio. “I’m telling you, it’s better to believe than to disregard these superstitions. Hospitals are full of negative energy, and you can very well be targeted by ghosts.”

“What happened to your daughter back then?” the male patient asked.

“Her entire body hurt, and she was exhausted. She felt as if something was on her back.” The woman sat up straight. “I’m telling you, people shouldn’t do bad things. My daughter was targeted by ghosts because of my –husband!”

“I also heard that the church at Mount Kismet is really effective.”

“My daughter’s high fever wouldn’t go away, so some people told me to go to Kismet Church and pray to God. If one acknowledges all of their wrongdoings and tells God everything, He’ll forgive them, and their children wouldn’t have to suffer in their stead.” The woman sighed.

The few people nodded in agreement. “One must be kind and not do wrong. Otherwise, they’ll end up being haunted.”

“One of my relatives back home is super weird. She could hear what we couldn’t hear and see what we couldn’t see. She also liked provoking those ‘things.‘ Later on, we sought advice from a priest at Kismet Church. We asked if she had hurt anybody. She was beyond terrified, so how could she hurt anybody? It wasn’t until we mulled over it carefully that we recalled she had an abortion when she was younger.”

“This is retribution.”

Ashley listened as goosebumps rose all over her body, and the soreness was intensifying.

She got out of bed, intending to take a walk, but it hurt all over.

It was as if she was walking while carrying something that weighed over 1,000 pounds on her back.

Ashley had also heard about Mount Kismet and how effective it was.

“Looks like… I’ll have to see a priest after getting discharged,” she mused.

Over at Gibsre, Corporation, Charles had just ended his meeting. He then went out and saw Quinton. “Why are
