Way Back Into Love (Essie) novel Chapter 520

In the evening, Zac came back to the villa by the lake. This was the first time he had come here since his car accident.

He looked gaunt and painful. He leaned on the sofa for a long time without moving.

However, on the contrary, Leila's good mood was not only because of the death of Dot, but also because of Essie's illness. Nobody could shake her son's position as the eldest grandson of the Rong family, and nobody could compete with her for Zac. Then she would be the hostess in the future.

"Zac, I've heard the child that you and Essie's. I'm sure you will be fine. Don't be too sad. I'm sure to give birth to a baby for you." Leila held his hand and put it on her belly.

Zac cast a meaningful glance at her. "It's late. Go to bed early." Then he withdrew his hand, stood up and went upstairs. He was not in the mood to talk to her at all.

Leila stared at his back with vicious eyes. No woman could ever give birth to a baby for you, except me. No one dares to dream of marrying you because of this baby. I will let her and her son both die.

She went back to upstairs and wanted to enter his room, but she couldn't open the door, so she had to go back to her own room.

It was late at night.

Leila lay down on the bed and was about to sleep when she suddenly heard a child's cry outside the window. The sound was intermittent, faint and mist, like a ghost, making people's hair creep.

She couldn't help but shiver, and a chill rose from the bottom of her feet and slowly spread along her spine.

There was only one house in the villa. There was no other houses for five miles around, and it was a garden outside the window. No children would come.

She jumped off the bed, opened the window and looked outside.

The garden was pitch black with dense tree branches and flowers like the skull's claws stretched out in disorder. The cold wind blew, and the flower branches trembled slightly. Leila seemed to see a small figure passing through the flower tree and disappeared.

With a panic, she closed the window and drew the curtain.

Then the cry of the child vanished.

She took a breath and lay back on the bed. When she was about to close her eyes and go to sleep, the crying sound came to her ears again. It sounded buzz and gloomy. But this time, it was not from the window, but from the outside. It was as if it from the garden to the room, floating on the corridor.

Leila got goose bumps all over her body. She jumped out of bed again and opened the door. In the empty corridor, there was not a single soul. The light of incandescent lamp cast on the floor coldly and indifferently.

She dared not to sleep any more. She ran to the door of Zac's bedroom and knocked it with all her strength. "Zac! Zac!"

She knocked on the door for a long time before Zac came to open the door. He was in pajamas, his hair a little messy. With a bit sleepy in his eyes, it was obvious that he was awakened by her. "It's so late. Why haven't you gone to bed?"

"Zac, can I sleep with you?" She held her arms and trembled.

"My arm hasn't fully recovered. And you are pregnant. We can't sleep in the same bed. You'd better go back to your bedroom. Be careful of getting cold." After saying that, Zac slapped the door and left.

"Zac!" Leila didn't dare to go back to her bedroom alone, so she went to the servant's room and asked Anna to sleep with her.

She thought she would be fine as long as there was another person by her side. To her surprise, as soon as she closed her eyes, she heard sobs again. Sometimes they were outside the window, sometimes they were in the corridor.

She was freaked out and patted on Anna's shoulder.

"What's wrong, madam?" Anna opened her eyes and looked at her.

"Did you hear anything?" Leila asked in horror.

"Hear?" Anna was so confused that she opened her ears wide and asked, "no, what is it?"

"Yes, it was the cry of a child." Leila felt goosebumps all over her body.

"No, we don't have any kids. How could the crying come?" Smiling, Anna waved her hand and said, "madam, it must be your illusion. When a woman is pregnant, so it is normal for her to feel uneasy and anxious. You will be fine as long as you relax a little. "

"No, Anna, there is indeed crying. Now there's still some left. It is outside the window sometimes, and it sounds in the corridor sometimes. How can't you hear it? " Leila grasped her arm tightly, her eyes full of fear.

Anna patted her on the forehead, worried that she might have a fever and talk nonsense. But when she saw that her body temperature was normal, she was relieved. "Madam, there is really no sound at all. It must be your illusion. Go to sleep now. You can't hear anything if you fall asleep. "

But Leila couldn't fall asleep. She covered her ears with her hands, but she couldn't get rid of the sound of crying.

Noticing that Anna was about to fall asleep, Leila shook her arm to wake her up. "Anna, don't sleep. I'm scared."

Anna yawned again and again because of the sleepiness. "Madam, I'm not like you. You can sleep during the day, and I have a lot of things to do during the day."

"I give you a day off tomorrow. You don't need to do anything." Leila hurriedly said, "I really heard crying. It's so horrible, just like... Ghost. "
