Miya opens her eyes wide. She swallows her saliva silently and rubs her eyes. Fortunately, when she opens her eyes again, the extra shadow has disappeared.
Miya doesn’t think of anything. She just trots to the door of her room. She thinks that as long as she sees Alex, she won’t be so afraid, otherwise she is nervous.
Their room is upstairs, which means that if she wants to go back to the room, she must take the stairs.
Miya is so anxious that she feels someone following her.
Miya still walks quickly. When she gets to the door, she is a little relieved, but when she opens the door, she sees the light in the room flickering.
“Ah!” Miya cries out uncontrollably.
“What’s the matter?” Alex rushes out of the bathroom and sees Miya on the floor. He hurriedly pulls Miya up and asks anxiously, “do you have a stomachache?”
Miya has a stomachache because she is too scared, but she’s getting less nervous when she sees Alex. She subconsciously hugs Alex and shakes her head and says, “there is someone suspicious in our house.”
“Someone suspicious?” Alex frowns subconsciously and apparently doesn’t understand what Miya means.
Miya nods and says, “yes, when I came out of Ben’s room, I felt someone staring at me.”
Alex thinks that Miya has been watching too many TV plays recently and has hallucinations. But anyway, her fear is real at the moment. Alex immediately hugs Miya and says, “it’s OK. I’m here. I’ll protect you.”
Miya just hugs Alex and says nothing.
Miya thinks she is hallucinating, too. So she doesn’t think too much. After all, nothing strange happens after that day.
Miya hasn’t seen anyone suspicious. One day, she sees that the fridge is empty again. She asks the servant, “didn’t you go shopping today?”
The servant shakes her head. “I’ve filled the fridge.”
“Come and see for yourself.” Miya opens the fridge and asks the servant to come and see it.
The servant looks at the empty fridge and is surprised. She immediately explains to Miya, “madam, I really filled the fridge. If you don’t believe me, I can show you the bills.” She finds a pile of bills in her apron.
These bills don’t look fake, and Miya believes in the servant. She believes that the servant didn’t steal the money.
“Why is the fridge empty?” Miya thinks.
At this time, the servant sees many dishes in the kitchen. And there are some damaged ingredients in the garbage can.
“Madam, what were you doing just now?” The servant asks.
Miya thinks, “I was...” She can’t even remember where she was.
“Madam, did you make these dishes?” The servant points at the dishes and asks Miya.
Miya shakes her head and says, “no, I didn’t.”
The servant looks at Miya suspiciously and remembers that she did the same before. Does Miya have a bad memory?
