Chapter 178 - The Fear (1/2)

Yera looked at her mobile phone and carefully moved to get out from her husband's tight hug. They had a very intense evening where she generously pleased her husband on their bed.

”Hmm, it's still early,” Xander sluggishly complained when he felt Yera removing his arms on hers to get up. Instead he snuggled her face on her neck, smelling her scent.

”Hmm, darling, let go. I have an important scheduled surgery at around four in the morning. Sleep more. I will be home early today I promise. ” Yera explained and gave her husband a peck on his lips.

”Darling, you're working so hard. You should have your body being checked regularly.” Xander murmured. Yera creased her forehead and said, ”Haven't you checked it enough?”

Xander chuckled and said, ”Darling I'm talking about health. I will let you go for now but make sure you'll have enough time to be free later to have a thorough check-up for the two of us. You know how persistent my dad is. He is very worried about your health and wants to make sure that you don't forget about yourself…”

”Alright, let's do it later. I will call you as soon as I'm available.” Yera responded and quickly went out of the bed as soon as Xander let loose on his hug at her.

3:00 Am at Life Hospital

Two nurses made their rounds at the VIP rooms when the lights on the hallway at wing C suddenly went off.

”Geez! What's wrong with the lights?” murmured one of the nurses named Carla. Then she heard some weird screeching noise.

The other nurse named Ria quickly grabbed her mobile phone to turn on the flashlight in it.

”Do you hear that?” Carla mumbled. She could feel goosebumps all over her body. She was a newly hired nurse and it was the first time she experienced something creepy like this.

Ria on the other hand looked in her wrist watch and intentionally said, ”It's four in the morning on my phone. Maybe there's just a problem with the switch or bulbs? Let's go back...”

”It's already four? Time passes by quickly. Yeah let's head back to the station. But don't you hear it?” Carla murmured.

”Hear what?” Ria nonchalantly replied. Then she added, ”I heard nothing. Anyway, let's head back and ask an engineer. I think the lights need repairing.”

The lights blinked on and off that made the hallway look more eerie.

The two continued to walk but Carla saw a woman in white that made her suddenly pause.

”Excuse me…” Carla asked, thinking it was one of the patients.

”Hey, who are you calling?” Ria asked with a confused face.

”Can't you see her? The woman in white?” Carla burst and even pointed her finger towards the woman walking slowly not far from them.

”Stop that. Don't scare me like that. It's the lights… I see nothing at all. You're probably just hallucinating without sleep yet. It's past four o'clock…” Ria reiterated.

Carla gulped feeling the abnormalities in the atmosphere. How come she was the only one who could see it? Was it a ghost?

The woman in white paused and turned her head towards their direction then she glared at Carla. ”Is that Dr. Song?!” Carla burst with hesitation. She could clearly see the woman's face. It was Dr Song!

”Dr, Song? Where?” Ria asked and looked in the direction. Ria even stepped forward but Carla grabbed her.

Carla was trying hard to calm herself despite the fact that her body was already trembling in fear since she was the only one seeing it.

”She looks like Dr. Song but she seems like not her. She's a ghost…” Carla nervously mumbled.
