Chapter 109 What Do You Mean?
Nathan's expression changed.
Taking advantage of this, Emily turned around and continued searching for an exit.
"Sob sob..."
The crying of a child intermittently echoed. Emily listened carefully for a while but couldn't pinpoint its exact location.
However, Nathan didn't make any inappropriate moves. He stood alone with his arms crossed in the shadows, lost in thought.
Emily couldn't be bothered with him. She could hear the child crying, indicating that Herry shouldn't be far away. If she spoke, Herry should be able to hear her.
"Herry! Can you hear me?"
The crying abruptly stopped.
Emily pondered for a moment, unsure if Herry stopped crying upon hearing her voice.
"Herry? If you hear me, please respond!"
Still, there was no reply.
Emily felt a bit discouraged.
"Perhaps this kid dislikes you. He probably doesn't want to interact with you," Nathan murmured softly. After the blow from Emily just now, he didn't look too good, his face clouded. "Why don't you leave? Let Sophia come in. She's his sister, so he'd be willing to go with her."
Emily paused, silent.
She had been worried that Herry would be scared here and wanted to find him quickly. But she hadn't considered that children also have likes and dislikes. Herry didn't like Emily. At the car show, Emily threw his basketball away and had just asked him to apologize. Herry must really dislike her.
Taking a deep breath, Emily said, "Alright, I'll go out and find Sophia."
She headed towards the entrance.
But Nathan quickly caught up.
Frowning, Emily turned back. "Aren't you waiting here for Sophia?"
"No need. I don't want to see her," Nathan replied. "I'll leave with you."
Emily retraced her steps through the narrow passage and saw the bright light at the entrance.
As they stepped outside, it was crowded with people. Today was the weekend, and many people were at the amusement park. Other attractions had long lines of people waiting, but this haunted house had few visitors.
As Emily walked along the path, she overheard people discussing:
"Don't go into that haunted house! I heard many people experience paranormal events inside. There are real ghosts here..."
"How is that possible?"
