Her Biliionaire Husband (Veronica and Matthew) novel Chapter 848

Chapter 848 Run Away from Home

Skyler knew Shirley was timid and scared of the dark. However, he was surprised that she had such a huge reaction after she came to the hidden clan, which was quite suspicious.

“I… I…” Shirley bit her lip and recalled. While doing so, she would still look around nervously. Noticing that she was shaken up, Skyler was heartbroken.

“This is a long story…” Shirley sighed. “It all started about ten years ago. At that time, I could see things that normal people couldn’t. No matter day or night, I would see my deceased grandfather following me. At that moment, I had a weak body.

I was fine during the day, but I would get a fever whenever it was nighttime. When my parents took me to the hospital, the doctor told them I was just having an illusion from the fever and gave me a prescription. It continued for a month, and nothing was working. Then, my parents heard that I might be seeing things and went to find a famous shaman in the local area.

She said the evil spirit had taken advantage of me since I had low energy. After that, she gave me a cup of water mixed with incense ash to drink and put a knife under my pillow while I slept. I didn’t see my dead grandfather again for a long time, and the fever was gone. Only then did my life return to peace.” As she spoke, she paused for a moment before saying, “I live in a rural area, and the houses there were made out of wood, which is similar to the houses here. Thus, I was afraid when I came here.”

Since the people from Shirley’s hometown were poor, they would build houses made out of wood or wheat. As time passed, those houses were replaced by apartments, and Shirley almost forgot about those memories. It was not until she came to the hidden clan and saw their clothing and houses that she recalled those memories. Plus, she had heard many supernatural stories when she was young, so she was afraid as soon as she was in an unfamiliar environment.
