The Silent Wife

Chapter 42

Chapter 42

The so-called Deities were in fact not deities but a piece of wooden plaque carved with the birthdate and time. The four edges had locks on it, which were spray-painted red and bolted tightly to the ground.

On the right side of the plaque, there was a framed piece of bright yellow talisman and the writing on it was messy and indecipherable.

Just then, Rachel’s feet felt as if they were filled with lead. Her eyes were fixated upon the talisman and it felt as if she was about to bore a hole into it and find out what was beneath the frame.

Just then, Justin could sense that there was something wrong with her. “What’s wrong?”.

However, it seemed that Rachel didn’t hear his words at all and she reached out an arm toward the talisman.

“What are you doing?” Justin pulled her back.

They must not touch a single item here. Otherwise, if Jefferey came back and saw it, (This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)he would definitely realize that someone had broken into the place and therefore it would be harder for them to obtain the formula next time if they failed to get it this time.

However, Rachel’s face was as pale as a sheet and she was still staring fixedly on the talisman with a dazed look on her.

Is she possessed?

Meanwhile, Justin frowned and admonished, “Don’t move.”

He was never a believer of spiritual objects, so he reached out his arm and immediately removed the

talisman to reveal the frame behind.

There was a black-and-white artistic photo in the frame and it was evidently taken from a studio. The photo looked like it had been taken in the last century.

The woman had on a traditional outfit and she looked very young. She had a demure smile on her face which somehow looked quite familiar to Justin. He seemed to have seen her from somewhere before.

“Boohoo-”

Suddenly, there was a sobbing sound that came from behind.

Justin was momentarily shocked and he looked back to see a face filled with tears.

Rachel’s hands gripped the bookshelf tightly and her eyes were red-rimmed. Although she tried hard to suppress her emotions, she couldn’t seem to control her immense sorrow and she sobbed in a hoarse voice.
