My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 400

Since the classroom door was welded up tightly and could no longer be opened, she couldn’t get out at all. Thus, she decided not to escape anymore. Instead, she just leaned against the wall of this old, blood-splattered and abandoned classroom, panting heavily.

She stared at the camera, knowing that person was watching her closely now. Lowering her head, she uttered a voice as cold as ice, “Hahaha, your plan failed. I bet you’re very disappointed now, aren’t you? You f*cking psychopath!”

However, Phantom Wolf’s leader sounded very relaxed when his voice was heard from the loudspeaker. “I have two plans here. The first one is to kill him, and the second one is to take you away. At the very least, one of them worked now. With that, my plan still hasn’t failed.”

Sophia supported herself against the wall. Then, she raised her head and held her chin up high with the back of her head leaning against the shabby wall, panting heavily before spitting out a mouthful of bloody saliva. “I won’t let you have your way easily even if I die! Since I owe you my life, I’ll give it back to you now!”

With her being injured and having lost so much blood, she didn’t even have the energy to move her fingers, let alone the excruciating pain she felt while moving a muscle.

Once again, the voice of Phantom Wolf’s leader was heard.

“This place is called Golden Drive Elementary School. You know this place? Many years ago, there was a great fire here and a dozen young students were burned to death in the fire.

Ever since then, this place has become haunted. No one dares to take over the building anymore. So eventually, it was abandoned and forgotten.”

Sophia struggled to get on her feet by holding onto the wall. Walking to the side of the tightly welded up window, she noticed there seemed to be someone guarding downstairs as well as outside the classroom. With her current condition, she was certain she couldn’t escape here. Even if she died, she didn’t want to fall into the hands of Phantom Wolf’s leader.

It was too bad that she couldn’t be in the wedding which Michael promised to give her anymore… Also, she couldn’t keep her promise of keeping Nathan company and watching him grow up happily either.

Sophia wiped the tears off her cheeks. While struggling to look for a way out, she retorted, “I’m not even afraid of you, so do you think I’ll be afraid of ghosts?”

The leader of Phantom Wolf let out a sinister chuckle, which echoed through the dark and creepy place. It reminded Sophia of a quote in a novel that went along the lines of ‘Human nature is something more terrifying than ghosts’.

“Let me tell you a secret. I told him that you were locked up in Mount View Elementary School. That school isn’t very far away from here.

You can see it from the window. He’s in the school now. Three seconds later, I’ll blow up the entire Mount View Elementary School.”

With a buzz in her ear, Sophia’s mind went blank immediately. She raised her head stiffly and through the dusty mottled window, she saw there was indeed a dark building not far away from here.

As for Phantom Wolf’s leader, he began his countdown.

“Three. Two. One.”

Boom! A loud explosion was heard and the nearby Mount View Elementary School was turned into piles of ashes. After a few seconds, the huge impact from the explosion reached here and Sophia was knocked down onto the ground immediately.

Upon falling on the ground, her mind stopped working and she couldn’t think for a moment. Her entire brain seemed to have stopped operating for several seconds along with her heart. Within that few seconds of time, she felt as if she was dead, but her mind was still aware.

In a half-conscious state, she vaguely saw a man march bravely into the treacherous hellscape in order to save her. Within a split second, his body was blown up into pieces by the huge impact of the explosion. Then, he turned into ashes, which vanished gradually into the void…

He’s dead. He’s dead… Sophia fell on the ground with her palm brushing against the wall, leaving behind trails of bloody fingerprints. Feeling her eyelids becoming heavy, they closed down over her eyes, shutting her view of the whole world outside.

She was still alive, but she wished she were dead. “We shall meet again soon…”

Some time later, she had regained consciousness. The metallic tang of blood, her weakened legs, numbed shoulders that resulted from the immense pain and the sight of a world veiled in blurriness were the first things that assaulted her senses when she came to.

She opened her eyes weakly and noticed that her shoulders were being grabbed by two people, one on each side. Then, they carried her and stood on an abandoned field.
