On the left, the Jitanese woman was standing there with a smile. She even waved at Vespera. It was the same woman who knocked on the door and plummeted from upstairs. So, was she still human?
A cold sweat broke out across Vespera's back. She clutched Dominic's arm and stammered, "Hey, look over there…"
In the next moment, Dominic turned her face to look at him. He stared at her lips and asked, "What happened to your tongue?"
Vespera tried to hint at Dominic to look in that direction. He glanced over and offered a polite nod in that direction. Then, he turned back casually and said, "I saw her. What's wrong?"
Was that it? Why was Dominic so calm? This wasn't normal.
Vespera didn't know if she was overreacting or if Dominic was completely numb to fear. She mumbled, drawing an arc through the air with her hand, "Wasn't that woman already…"
Dominic frowned. Then, he responded calmly, "You must have been mistaken."
That was impossible. Vespera peeked around Dominic like he was a shield and glanced toward the woman again cautiously.
However, the woman wasn't the Jitanese woman. It was just someone wearing a similar cyan gown. Did Vespera really imagine it? No way! She had even seen that smile. Every detail was etched into her mind.
Dominic caught the dazed look on her face and cupped her eyes with one hand, turning her head. He said, "Alright. Stop looking. I told you before that there's something strange about the magnetic field in this place. Weird things might happen."
Weird? That was a ghost!
Vespera was on the verge of tears. If she had to see ghosts, she didn't want to see them alone. She said, "Dominic, you saw her too, right? Just admit it."
Vespera pulled Dominic's hand and looked up at him with anticipation.
Dominic was at a loss for words. He lowered his head and looked at her. Solemnly, he nodded and replied, "I saw her. It's terrifying. My knees have even gone weak."
Vespera said, "I knew it! There's no way I was the only one!"
