Jessie's heart throbbed that she was out of breath.
Suddenly, she looked up into Irene Xiao's blank eyes which instantly became vicious with a killing intent. Shrinking her body in horror, Jessie held the doorknob tight, while her heart immediately sank.
"Ivy Jiang, I will kill you! I will kill you!" Irene Xiao sprang up from the corner and raised a knife, rushing towards Jessie at full speed.
Frightened, Jessie then closed the door in a hurry. She held the door handle tight, and leaned against the door. With her heart full of pain, she sank and fell down on the ground.
Meanwhile, the sound of a knife slashing on the door behind her made her heart beat faster and faster by the minute.
"You devil! I will kill you..."
Irene Xiao's scream was as painful and merciless as she hurt Jessie deep in her core.
Right at that moment, Jessie's heart bled as if it were stabbed by a knife!
Tightly gripping the door, her heart beat with fear and anxiety.
At that instant, she was afraid of one thing— that once she let go of the door handle, her mother would rush out and kill her with the sharp knife.
Smiling bitterly, she thought to herself, 'This is my life! What the hell!'
For eleven years, she had no idea on how she had survived with her mother. She had asked herself countless times, but up until that day, she had no answer. Hate and anger had poured into her. She had even questioned her own existence as to why her mother had given birth to her. If she had already known that she was not going to fulfill her duties as a mother, then she should have just strangled Jessie and not give birth to her at all to save her from misery.
Living a life without the care of a father and the love of a mother, Jessie often asked herself what she did to deserve such a life.
Hearing the sound, Lucy came up and immediately lifted Jessie who was trembling on the floor.
"Miss Jessie, are you okay?" Jessie shook her head. To which Lucy replied, "Your mother's attack often happens during midnight. You'd better stay away from her so that you won't get yourself hurt."
Constant devilish screams were heard from the room. With just one look at the door, Jessie's lips trembled once more with fear. Just when Lucy was about to say something, Jessie pushed her away and quickly went downstairs. Suddenly, right after a burst sound of engine, everything went quiet.
Jessie was driving a car so fast on the road. She held the steering wheel as tight as she could while her mind was in a deep mess.
She stepped on the accelerator and put the pedal to the metal. With the piercing scream, the car rushed forward like an arrow.
Bang! The car suddenly came to an abrupt halt after it crashed. After a few seconds of silence, Jessie's senses came back. Dozens of meters away, there was a person lying on the ground. Frightened, Jessie did not know what to do.
Did she hit someone?
Biting her lips in fear, she opened the car door and got out of it. Then, she walked slowly towards the person on the ground.
Squatting down on the ground, her face turned pale out of fright at what she saw.
"Hey, you, wake up!" With her trembling finger, she poked the man who lay unconscious on the ground. Panicking, she picked up the phone and called the police for assistance.
The night was so dark, and the wind was as cold as ice, giving it a creepy vibe similar to that in a horror film.
Jessie squatted beside the person on the ground. Confused, she pat her head constantly.
How could she be so irrational?
Now, she killed a person. What should she do now?
Looking up, a dazzling object in the man's hand caught her attention.
What was he holding? What was happening?
