“Two days?” the man asked incredulously in a hoarse voice. He had been yelling instead of speaking in the past few days, to the point that he had hurt his throat.
“That’s right. Give me two days and I’ll return her to normal.”
Mo Jiangye dipped his eyes to look at his beauty once more. Pain filled his haggard face. How could he stand not to see her for two days when a single day of her absence was enough to torment him?
He would never bring her to watch another horror film. That was his direst mistake.
The old man stayed in a desolate forest far away from the city that was inaccessible by car. Thus, they had to walk to reach his place in the end.
They eventually arrived at a big house in the depths of the forest.
“This is where I’m staying. Bring the lady inside and then leave the house to wait outside,” the old man said.
The man furrowed his brows doubtfully. Something seemed to be off!
“After you put her in there, you have to wait in the front yard. Don’t barge in suddenly! The demon may be antagonized, and I won’t be able to promise her safety. I repeat, don’t enter the room no matter what you may hear. You have to keep my words in mind.” The old man delivered his final instructions sternly.
Mo Jiangye carried Ye Erruo into the room, where he saw many peculiar objects scattered around. The man signaled to his assistant with his eyes.
Bo Yu took the hint immediately and had his men search the place.
The house had three rooms in total. Although the rooms might look small, it still took some effort for them to conduct a thorough investigation.
“What are you searching for? Be careful. Don’t damage my stuff.”
After a while, Bo Yu and his men returned and his assistant shook his head. They had found nothing suspicious about the place despite the unorthodox items they had seen.
“Put the lady on this bed. Then you can leave. If you don’t want her to suffer and want to preserve her life, you have to follow my earlier instructions. No one is allowed to step inside.”
After he put her down carefully on the bed, the man’s eyes continued to linger on her pretty countenance. He pursed his lips reluctantly, refusing to move from the spot.
“Young Master, you better leave. The earlier I exorcise the spirit, the earlier your wife will wake up from her coma.”
The man was finally persuaded to leave unwillingly.
The moment he stepped out of the house, the door was shut and locked after him. The curtains were soon drawn as well.
“Surround this area with our men and make sure we keep a tight watch over this place!” Mo Jiangye issued an order balefully.
“Yes, sir!”
“All of you must wait outside the front yard.” The old man’s voice was heard again from inside the house.
Mo Jiangye turned his head to have a final peek at the door before retreating out of the yard to wait anxiously.
As the man stood outside the house, the billowing wind seemed to freeze his thoughts…
…
“Young Master!”
A while later, someone emerged from a secret door.
Bo Jinyan walked over to the bed, picked the lady up in his arms, and looked at her with comfort and love.
“Let’s go.”
“Yes, master.”
…
Snow started to descend steadily outside the house…
Holding an umbrella in his hand, Bo Yu stood behind his master and tried to console him. “Young Master, don’t worry. Young Madam will surely recover.”
The latter stood there expressionlessly. His gaze was fixed on the door as his foreboding sense of premonition became stronger than ever. However, he chose to endure the slow, painful wait since it involved the life of his precious wife.
He let out a bitter snort out of the blue. In all honesty, he did not believe in the paranormal realm or stories about ghosts and demons. However, what else could he do when science and medicine could not tell what was wrong with her? What could he do when she had remained in a state of perpetual coma? Despite his contemptuous disbelief at the idea that she had been possessed, he had panicked when he had been unable to find out what was wrong with her. As long as she woke up, he would believe any supernatural stories.
As the man was waiting anxiously inside the dark, chilling forest for his woman, someone else had already taken her on board of a jet plane. In the meantime, her man continued to stand unflinchingly in the snowstorm, waiting for the door to open…
Inside the Zhuang Ge Residence, the laptop was on sleep mode. Suddenly, an alert beeped to signal the arrival of an email from a foreign country.
