Hamish was irritated because Yara’s disruption had awakened him in the middle of the night.
Without sparing a glance at his wife, he reached out to switch off the lights.
“Go to sleep. I want to sleep even if you don’t want to!”
However, the bloody handprints on the wall and bloody footprints on the carpet reappeared right after the lights were dimmed.
Previously, Winnie had messed with Yara, causing the latter’s mental health to be significantly damaged. At that moment, Yara began shuddering in fear as she repeatedly witnessed those scenes.
“Hamish!” Yara shook his shoulder continuously. “Look! It’s Lorelei’s footprints!”
“You’re crazy!” Hamish chided. He was not in the mood to entertain her.
However, he suddenly felt a cold sensation spread across his face.
Hamish touched his face with his hand and realized his face was covered with a sticky and unknown liquid.
Instantaneously, he felt something was wrong too. He sat up and was met with the unexpected sight of the bloody handprints on the wall.
Hamish hastily turned on the lights. He looked down and saw his face and hands covered in blood.
Yara shrieked uncontrollably when she saw his blood-smeared face. She looked up and noticed blood dripping down from the ceiling.
The red liquid fell on Yara’s head and trickled down her face. Shivering in fright, she hopped off the bed and ran out.
When she arrived at the doorway, she found out that the door could not be opened no matter how hard she turned and twisted the doorknob.
Cold sweat drenched her body as she was scared out of her wits.
“What’s happening? Why can’t I unlock this door? Open up quick!”
Hamish hurried over as well at that moment.
“Out of my way!”
He was under the assumption that Yara could not open the door because she was incompetent. However, the fact that the door was problematic soon dawned on him when he attempted to unbolt the door himself.
Hamish finally succumbed to horror. He pushed Yara aside and booted the door.
The sturdy wooden door would not budge after he kicked it twice.
Then, the lights inside the room flickered and completely went out.
Yara was scared senseless. She slammed on the door over and over again while screaming at the top of her lungs, “Nancy! Nancy! Save me, Nancy!”
Hamish scrambled around, looking for his phone to call someone for help, but he could not see a thing as his surroundings were pitch-black following the blackout.
The next second, his phone suddenly rang.
The abrupt ringtone echoing inside the dark room in the dead of night sounded incredibly creepy.
Moreover, after retrieving his phone, Hamish saw the caller’s phone number was 13131313. At the sight of the number, he was immediately reminded of how it was synonymous with bad luck.
Not daring to answer the phone, Hamish hung up the call with his trembling hands.
He thought that was the end of the scary phone call, but unexpectedly, Yara’s phone started ringing the next second.
At that moment, Yara was already cowering in a corner, crying.
Hamish wanted to call someone for help, but there was no signal. Yara’s phone was the same.
