C20 (2/2)

”Hurry up and go, Maria... Grandmother, she's tired. ”

Alpha hugged Lina and didn't let her move forward. His voice was as beautiful as always, but I could hear the begging in his voice:

”Let's go, okay?”

I don't know how Lina and I got out of the 608, but when we walked back after crashing into each other in the pitch-black corridor, Lina was also terrified.

When we got home, Lina made coffee for us both. When she passed the cup to me, her hands were still shaking.

”This is already a severe burn, do we really not need to send ice bags over? Do you want to call an ambulance? ” Lina muttered to herself.

I didn't answer, and I couldn't figure out how it was possible for a person to let the boiling water soak him for so long without any reaction.

”Lei, how do you know that Johnson is the same person?” After a long while, Lina asked me.

”I called the trust company.”

”You actually went to investigate Maria? It's illegal for you to do that... ”

”That's not the point, Lina, can't you tell that Maria is weird? For a normal person to be scalded with boiling water for one minute without any reaction? ” I pulled Lina back. ”Can we move out?”

Lina hesitated.

”But, but she didn't do anything to hurt us either … Besides, we've used up all our savings, so where can we find a house in such a short time? ”

”Lina, you must believe me. Recently, I have been having strange nightmares and I suspect that the previous Johnson is the same as me.

”What nightmare?”

”...”

I was speechless. I didn't dare to tell Lina that my nightmares came from my deepest fears and lies towards her. I didn't dare to say that I dreamed that our child was a monster.

”... Anyway, let's move out, okay? I really feel that Maria is very strange. I think she's going to hurt us. ”

”What kind of nightmare did you have?” Lina did not let go of this topic.

”... I forgot. ” I turned my head away, not daring to look at her again, because I caught a glimpse of disappointment in her eyes as I answered.

”… ….” I'll think about it. ” Lina released my hand.

”Uh, go to sleep first. I still have a report to write.”

I can't sleep until I move out. I don't know what awaits me when I fall asleep.

Lina ignored me and returned to her room.

I made a big pot of coffee. I hadn't slept for two days so far, and I kept pinching my thighs and face. I felt like if I didn't, I could fall asleep in the next second.

The entire mansion was quiet, not a single sound could be heard. As my eyes and mine struggled, I heard a familiar voice.

”Wuu …” ”Wuuu...”

Was Lina crying? In a daze, I got up and walked to the bedroom.

The light in the bedroom wasn't turned on, so Lina, wearing her pajamas, stood with her back facing me.

”Darling, what's wrong?”

”Our child, look at our child... Why isn't he crying? ” Lina turned around with an infant in her arms and walked towards me.

”Look, look at him …”

I leaned my head over.

Suddenly, I felt a piercing pain on my face. I looked up abruptly and found that I had already opened the door, walking out of the corridor.

At my feet was the stray cat.

”Meow!” The stray cat meowed, and I touched my face, my hand bleeding.

It was it that saved me, so I almost fell asleep. In such a short time, I had already traveled so far.

He gave me two swipes at the face with his paw in the nick of time.

The stray cat, seeing that I was awake, turned and took two steps to the other side of the corridor, then looked back at me.

It seemed to be a little sad.

It disappeared in the direction of apartment 608.

I hastily returned home, but Lina was still sleeping, it was 6 o'clock. It was already dawn.

I took out the one with Johnson's name on it. The address of H.
