In the evening, Zac came back to the villa by the lake. This was the first time he had come here since
his car accident.
He looked gaunt and painful. He leaned on the sofa for a long time without moving.
However, on the contrary, Leila's good mood was not only because of the death of Dot, but also
because of Essie's illness. Nobody could shake her son's position as the eldest grandson of the Rong
family, and nobody could compete with her for Zac. Then she would be the hostess in the future.
"Zac, I've heard the child that you and Essie's. I'm sure you will be fine. Don't be too sad. I'm sure to
give birth to a baby for you." Leila held his hand and put it on her belly.
Zac cast a meaningful glance at her. "It's late. Go to bed early." Then he withdrew his hand, stood up
and went upstairs. He was not in the mood to talk to her at all.
Leila stared at his back with vicious eyes. No woman could ever give birth to a baby for you, except
me. No one dares to dream of marrying you because of this baby. I will let her and her son both die.
She went back to upstairs and wanted to enter his room, but she couldn't open the door, so she had to
go back to her own room.
It was late at night.
Leila lay down on the bed and was about to sleep when she suddenly heard a child's cry outside the
window. The sound was intermittent, faint and mist, like a ghost, making people's hair creep.
She couldn't help but shiver, and a chill rose from the bottom of her feet and slowly spread along her
spine.
There was only one house in the villa. There was no other houses for five miles around, and it was a
garden outside the window. No children would come.
She jumped off the bed, opened the window and looked outside.
The garden was pitch black with dense tree branches and flowers like the skull's claws stretched out in
disorder. The cold wind blew, and the flower branches trembled slightly. Leila seemed to see a small
figure passing through the flower tree and disappeared.
With a panic, she closed the window and drew the curtain.
Then the cry of the child vanished.
She took a breath and lay back on the bed. When she was about to close her eyes and go to sleep, the
crying sound came to her ears again. It sounded buzz and gloomy. But this time, it was not from the
window, but from the outside. It was as if it from the garden to the room, floating on the corridor.
Leila got goose bumps all over her body. She jumped out of bed again and opened the door. In the
empty corridor, there was not a single soul. The light of incandescent lamp cast on the floor coldly and
indifferently.
She dared not to sleep any more. She ran to the door of Zac's bedroom and knocked it with all her
strength. "Zac! Zac!"
She knocked on the door for a long time before Zac came to open the door. He was in pajamas, his
hair a little messy. With a bit sleepy in his eyes, it was obvious that he was awakened by her. "It's so
late. Why haven't you gone to bed?"
"Zac, can I sleep with you?" She held her arms and trembled.
"My arm hasn't fully recovered. And you are pregnant. We can't sleep in the same bed. You'd better go
back to your bedroom. Be careful of getting cold." After saying that, Zac slapped the door and left.
"Zac!" Leila didn't dare to go back to her bedroom alone, so she went to the servant's room and asked
Anna to sleep with her.
She thought she would be fine as long as there was another person by her side. To her surprise, as
soon as she closed her eyes, she heard sobs again. Sometimes they were outside the window,
sometimes they were in the corridor.
She was freaked out and patted on Anna's shoulder.
"What's wrong, madam?" Anna opened her eyes and looked at her.
"Did you hear anything?" Leila asked in horror.
"Hear?" Anna was so confused that she opened her ears wide and asked, "no, what is it?"
"Yes, it was the cry of a child." Leila felt goosebumps all over her body.
"No, we don't have any kids. How could the crying come?" Smiling, Anna waved her hand and said,
"madam, it must be your illusion. When a woman is pregnant, so it is normal for her to feel uneasy and
anxious. You will be fine as long as you relax a little. "
"No, Anna, there is indeed crying. Now there's still some left. It is outside the window sometimes, and it
sounds in the corridor sometimes. How can't you hear it? " Leila grasped her arm tightly, her eyes full of
fear.
Anna patted her on the forehead, worried that she might have a fever and talk nonsense. But when she
saw that her body temperature was normal, she was relieved. "Madam, there is really no sound at all. It
must be your illusion. Go to sleep now. You can't hear anything if you fall asleep. "
But Leila couldn't fall asleep. She covered her ears with her hands, but she couldn't get rid of the sound
of crying.
Noticing that Anna was about to fall asleep, Leila shook her arm to wake her up. "Anna, don't sleep. I'm
scared."
Anna yawned again and again because of the sleepiness. "Madam, I'm not like you. You can sleep
during the day, and I have a lot of things to do during the day."
"I give you a day off tomorrow. You don't need to do anything." Leila hurriedly said, "I really heard
crying. It's so horrible, just like... Ghost. "
"Ghost?" Anna's face darkened. She sat up and lowered her voice, "when I was downstairs, I heard
you say the son of Mr. Zac and his ex-wife was dead. Is he back?"
The thought sent a shiver down Leila's spine. She clutched her arms and trembled. "Anna, you... Don't
scare me. When one dies, he will disappear from the world. There are no ghosts in the world. "
Anna didn't seem to hear what she said. She asked herself, "When did that child die?"
"A week ago." Leila replied in a low voice.
"Is today the seventh day after his death? It is said that ghosts would come back on the first seventh
day to look for their family or enemies. Some people who have too much resentment will not leave, and
they will look for people who hurt them. " Anna said it pretty scarily.
Leila almost screamed, her eyes searching in horror for fear that Dot would appeared suddenly to kill
her.
Anna glanced at her, waved her hand and said, "my ladyship, don't be afraid. I'm just joking. Even if
that child did come back, he would look for Mr. Zac. How could he look for you? "
The corners of Leila's mouth twitched slightly. She closed her eyes to hide her guilty conscience. She
asked, "then why do I hear crying all the time?"
Anna sighed, "believe it or not, that's the nonsense. If you don't believe it, just take it as an illusion. You
will be fine tomorrow. Don't you know that he has a grudge against you? Even if he was shot to death,
he would seek revenge from the people who set him up. He wouldn't bother you. "
Hearing this, Leila did not get any comfort at all. Instead, she became more afraid.
Because she was the one who killed him.
Anna lay down again. She was so sleepy that she fell asleep in less than a minute.
Leila couldn't sleep at all. She tucked herself in and huddled herself up. She covered her head with quit
and didn't dare to close her eyes until the crying disappeared in the morning.
She didn't get up until noon. Zac just finished lunch and was ready to go to the company.
Seeing this, she hurriedly went downstairs and trotted in front of him. "Don't leave today. Stay with me,
okay?"
"I have a lot of things to deal with in the company. Have a good rest." Answered Zac dismissively.
"Will you come back tonight?" Leila was depressed.
"It depends," Zac didn't turn around. He said and went out directly.
In the villa of Phoenix Road, as soon as Eva heard about what happened to Dot, she came back
hurriedly without any time to finish the shooting.
However, the moment she entered the gate, she was dragged outside by Lucy.
"Eva, Essie was stimulated too much, and she is a little insane. Don't talk about Dot. Whatever she
says, don't refute her." She urged.
Eva nodded, anxious and worried.
In the living room, Alice was there too. During this period, she went to visit Essie every day and tried to
see if she was alright. The worse Essie was, the happier she was.
Essie was sitting on the sofa, passing an apple to the pillow next to her and said, "Dot, haven't I told
you? You have to eat an apple every day to get healthy. Why don't you listen to me today? Why don't
you eat apple? "
"Essie, If the child doesn't want to eat, don't force him. He will eat when he wants." A few seconds later,
Alice went on. She found it interesting to see Essie talk to the pillow and air here every day.
Eva was freaked out by her illness. She swallowed hard and forced herself to calm down.
"Essie." Tears welled up in her eyes as she whispered her name.
When Essie saw her, she smiled and said, "Eva, you're here, the movie is over?"
"Yes." Nodding her head, Eva sniffed, "Essie, I want to take a holiday these two days. Let's go to sea
together. Have fun for two days."
"Okay." Essie smiled and turned to look at the pillow next to her, "Dot, mommy will take you to the sea
tomorrow, OK?"
Eva managed to squeeze out a smile from her stiff mouth. "Dot are fond of going to sea. He must be
very happy, and Mili also likes to go to sea. I'll go fishing with them then."
"Mili is not here. She is in America with Holy. I can take Dot with me. Dot was kidnapped last time and
he was frightened. He had nightmares every night. I want to take him out for relaxation so that he could
forget that terrible experience as soon as possible. "
Eva took the apple from her hand, "if my godson doesn't want to eat it, then don't force him. I will eat it
for him." After saying that, she took a big bite.
Essie sighed in a low voice, and a glimmer of hatred flashed through her eyes, saying, "Dot was very
obedient before. It was the bastard who kidnapped him that frightened him. I've figured out who would
do that, and I'll not let him go. "
Alice was taken aback. "You got it? Who is it? Who did this? "
