Chapter 648

“Go ahead with your work.

I’ll be here.

” Benny nodded in assurance.

After Lindsey closed the ward door, the warm smile on her face vanished, replaced by a cold and determined expression.

Checking her watch, she noted it was ten o’clock in the evening.

Since Benny couldn’t make it back for dinner, Kendra had dinner alone at home and then relaxed on the sofa, watching TV.

She couldn’t figure out why she felt restless lately.

Lack of sleep made her nerves strained.

Kendra never wished for Benny to return sooner than she did now.

She was even slightly afraid to go to bed alone.

She couldn’t help but curse Lindsey under her breath.

Kendra believed that everything that happened was Lindsey’s fault.

She blamed everything on Lindsey, convinced that Lindsey had affected her mood.

With Lindsey not returning tonight, Kendra hoped for a peaceful night’s sleep.

Mustering courage, Kendra stood up and went to freshen up.

After a hot shower and applying skincare products, she prepared for bed.

She then lay down, closing her eyes.

She tossed and turned for a while, not hearing any unusual sounds.

Growing increasingly sleepy, she was on the verge of falling asleep.

Yet, at that moment, a ghostly voice reached her ears again.

The familiar sound of footsteps, the same ones that had kept her awake at night, echoed again.

Moreover, a soft cry of a woman accompanied the footsteps.

Kendra, sleepless for days, teetered on the edge of a breakdown.

She decisively lifted the covers and sat up in bed.

Feeling frustrated, Kendra got out of bed, opened the door, and walked out.

She shouted, “I don’t care if you’re a ghost or a human.

If you have the courage, come out.

I’m not afraid of the living, let alone the dead.

”

Silence filled the corridor, offering no response.

With eyes tinged with red, Kendra scrutinized every corner of the house.

Rushing to Lindsey’s room, she kicked the door open and scanned the surroundings, finding no trace of anyone.

She expanded her search to other rooms, yet found nothing.

Kendra headed to the kitchen, grabbed a knife, and then proceeded to the living room, where she switched on the Light.

Pressing the light switch repeatedly, the house remained shrouded in darkness.

The power was out.

Seeing this, Kendra burst into a mad giggle.

“Marisa, you’re already dead.

Don’t play tricks with me.

Do you think you can frighten me with this? I’m telling you, I’m not afraid.

If you can, come out and kill me.
