Begonia snorted coldly, her head tilted.
Joshua looked angrily at Caroline, asking, "You can see her, Grandma? Have you always been able to see her?"
"Yes. She's my friend, Begonia," Caroline replied. She then introduced them to each other. "Begonia, this is my grandson, Joshua."
Joshua and Begona glanced at each other, then quickly turned away. Begonia proceeded to ignore Joshua and draped herself over the rocking chair, chatting happily with Caroline. Joshua, on the other hand, walked under the eaves of the house while looking warily in their direction.
"What exactly is that Begonia girl, Ms. Locke?" he asked. "Is she really not a ghost? Why did she suddenly appear? Why did my grandma say that she's friends with her?"
Before Madison could reply, the viewers started expressing their own opinions.
"From the looks of it, she's probably a child. Is she Joshua's grandmother's friend who decided to stay by her side after death?"
"Seems like it."
"Her sudden appearance just now scared me to death."
"Hold on! This child is really cute and doesn't look like a ghost at all!"
"How can such a cute kid be a ghost?"
In contrast to the netizens' casual banter, Joshua was really worried.
"Will Begonia harm my grandmother, Ms. Locke?" he asked in concern. "Don't they always say that ghosts will spirit people away?"
"I'm not a ghost!" cried Begonia, standing up abruptly with her hands on her hips, her dress swaying in the wind. "I heard everything. Did you think I wouldn't be able to hear you just because you were speaking softly?"
She then addressed Caroline, "He really is stupid, Carrie! Why do you have such a stupid grandson? You should stop paying him any mind and play with me instead! It'll be just like before."
She held Caroline's hands in hers, looking cutely at her.
