“Wait up! Don’t run off, Alex!” Molly did not even dare to lift her head. She just shouted with her eyes
closed shut.
‘How could I let them run around in a place like this?” she thought. But she did not dare lift her head up
as if the skull was still in front of her eyes. But no one responded to her. The only things that were
ringing in her ears were a sharp cry and the sound of the rustling wind.
Molly was utterly dumbstruck. Her knees were so weak that she could not even stand, so all she could
do was hold onto the thing in her hand.
In a split second, Tony disappeared along with the triplets. Molly and Sean were the only two persons
left there.
Sean frowned when he saw that everyone was gone. He then held Molly’s hand with a defeated
expression , saying in a deep voice, “Everything here is fake. Don’t be scared. Your kids have run off.”
His affirmative and gentle voice made Molly feel safe, as if he had already taken away all her fears.
Molly’s fear gradually disappeared when she heard him as she lifted her head slowly until her eyes
locked with Sean’s. That was when she realized they were in an awkward position, so Molly felt both
scared and embarrassed.
“I didn’t know you’re afraid of ghosts, Dr. May.” Sean smiled and joked with her as he was intrigued
when he saw her like this.
‘Normally, she’d be strong and firm as if she was undefeatable.
‘Turns out, she has her fears too.’
Obviously, Molly did not admit to it. She just closed her eyes and looked away. “I-I’m not afraid! I just…
think it’s too ugly! Yeah, it’s too ugly, so ugly that I don’t even want to look at them.
Molly regretted it right after she said that. Sadly, even Molly herself could not believe what she had
said.
Nevertheless, at the very next second, Sean arched his brows and laughed. “If that’s the case, you can
let go of my hand.”
.
Molly pulled herself back after she heard what he said. She looked down and realized that she was
grabbing Sean’s hand. She was gripping it so hard that his hands started to show some red marks.
“My bad, I didn’t notice it.” She immediately loosened her grip and apologized while looking somewhat
awkward.
After a short moment of hesitation, she slowly let go of his hand and held his sleeves. Though she
stubbornly denied that she was afraid, her actions showed that she did not want to let go. She then
stared at Sean with an unyielding expression and repeated strangely, “I’m not afraid. Since we’re alone
now, I can take care of you easier if I stood closer to you.”
“Well, thank you for being so considerate of me, Dr. May.” Sean smiled.
He pressed the controls on the wheelchair so it could move automatically and continued moving
forward with Molly.
Molly’s face flushed. ‘How embarrassing. I’ve never been like this my whole life.’
They maintained the same position as they walked through different settings in the haunted house.
Whenever Molly was startled, she would subconsciously grab Sean’s hand and close her eyes. She
would glue herself onto the wheelchair while she quivered.
Sean noticed that she was really terrified, so he did not pull his hand away.
Unbeknownst to them, they eventually ended up walking around the haunted house hand in hand.
When they finally made it outside, they saw the triplets and Tony standing outside. Besides, they
seemed to have waited for them for a long time already.
