Chapter 149 Mr Winters’ Successful Scheme.
“Who’s there? Show yourself!” shouted Amanda while trembling in fear. Yet, the sound persisted.
Fine beads of sweat appeared on her fair forehead. What should I do now?Aiden is still sleeping in the room next to the dressing room. I have to go and see what’s happening.
After she took a deep breath and mustered her courage, she held a nearby vase tightly and slowly walked toward the direction of the dressing room.
As she walked closer, the woman’s humming voice from the dressing room grew closer.
When she was two steps away from the dressing room, she stopped in her tracks. At this moment, her heart was pounding so quickly that it seemed as though it would pop out of her chest. She held the vase tightly and thought, If someone is inside, I’ll smash them with this immediately.
At this thought, she took a sudden step forward, bursting into the dressing room. Yet, the woman’s humming stopped abruptly, and the dressing room was empty.
She stared at the empty dressing room while breathing heavily. Am I hallucinating!!
Just then, Aiden’s voice came from the room next door. “Mommy, help!”
Amanda’s eyes widened instantly. She put down the vase and turned around, rushing back into the room.

“Okay, you stay here. I will go and take a look. Don’t worry, there aren’t any ghosts. You must have had a bad dream.” After saying that, she got up and walked toward the curtains. To be honest, she was a little scared herself, especially after hearing the woman’s humming earlier. However, she had to set a good example for her child, or he would be too scared to sleep tonight.
She approached the curtains and prepared herself mentally before pulling the curtains aside abruptly. There was nothing behind them, only the dim moonlight coming through the window,
Seeing that, she let out a sigh of relief, then turned to look at Aiden on the bed. The little one had buried his face into the pillow, refusing to look. “Aiden, look, there’s nothing behind the curtains”
Only when he heard her voice did he gather the courage to look up.
“I didn’t lie to you, right? There aren’t any ghosts here.”
