She sent the last text message and reached up to press her temples. Closing her eyes, her body gradually shrank downward...
Suddenly, a series of low footsteps sounded from outside, step by step, like they were stomping on her heart.
She opened her eyes, staring at the slightly ajar bedroom door.
Those heavy footsteps were like a giant Devil escaping from Hell, walking towards her step by step.
Her trembling hand tightly grasped the bed sheet.
"Boom!"
Outside the window, blue lightning tore through the night sky.
A clap of thunder exploded over her head, followed by torrential rain pouring down.
The world was left with nothing but the sound of pouring rain.
She shrank further into her blanket, trembling as she called out, "Sister Mei!"
This place was very remote, logically the maid should stay here overnight.
Moreover, her injuries hadn't healed yet.
Sister Mei should be in the servant's room downstairs.
However, after calling twice, nobody responded to her.
