Chapter 77 Ghost

Under Shirley’s strong request, Ewan and Nancy reluctantly said goodbye and left the villa.

Before leaving, Nancy held Shirley’s hand and repeatedly asked, concerned, “Honey, are you sure you want to be alone in such a big house? I heard the place is haunted. Aren’t you afraid?”

“Idiot. Haunted or not, I’m not afraid. This is my home. Even if there are ghosts, they are my deceased family. They won’t hurt me.”

With a calm smile, Shirley told everyone to leave.

After all, ghosts were nothing to be afraid of, weren’t they? Shirley had met many vicious people and thought they were much more intimidating than ghosts.

The moment the guests left, the living room became quiet, emitting a moldy smell common in empty houses.

Shirley, however, felt relaxed and at ease.

She was humming while doing the dishes. Shirley then filled the glass vase with water, put the sunflowers that Ewan sent her inside, and put them on the bedside table.

Four years had passed. Although the garden of the villa turned desolate, the inside was the same as

They would sit by her bed, gently call her name, and wake her up.

It was getting darker.

Shirley lay on her bed, commiserating about the past and falling asleep.

In a daze, she heard a strange sound from the bedroom that once belonged to her parents.

The voice belonged to a woman who was crying and laughing. In the silent night, it seemed eerie
