Chapter 399 - The Surveillance (2/2)

”Who are you?” She asked.

”How are you feeling?”

”Tell me, who are you? How did you get inside my room?” She said yet somehow doubted herself and examined the room and it was indeed hers.

”It seems such trick does not work on you anymore.”

”What are you talking about?” Elizabeth frowned confused to what the person was talking about.

”Child, how long has it since we last saw each other? Who would have thought you'll actually comeback.”

”Comeback?”

The room was silent, only the sound of the wind can be heard. As Elizabeth looked around to where the voice was coming from, by the window, he saw the silhouette of the person.

”Who are you?” She continued to repeat her question.

”Soon, you'll know who I am, but now, rest…”

”What? Wait, what are you doing to me?” Elizabeth eyes felt so heavy again and her muscled felt numb. As she was trying to scream, her throat felt so tight and she couldn't speak at all. Her mind was still functioning right but soon it was collapsing and shutting down.

It didn't take long for Elizabeth to return to her comatose state and the person by the window revealed himself.

It was the same old man whom Elizabeth spoke to earlier. He had this calm yet frightening expression on his face. He looked as if he was there to kill Elizabeth yet only looked at her.

The old man sigh heavy as if he was carrying a heavy burden which he has bottled up for a long time and seeing the girl was losing the bottle lid allowing some of the pain to escape out.

”You turned out beautifully.” He smiled seeing how calm the girl was resting.

As the old man was about to take a step closer to Elizabeth, he heard the door opening. He went to the seating area of the room and by the corner was a secret door. He pushed opened the door which leads him to another room, as he went inside, the door automatically close by itself as if nothing happened.

Jo who was standing by the door paused for a moment when he senses something troubling. He felt like someone was inside the room and ponder in whether to enter or not. He prepared himself for the worse and hope that the girl would still be fine.

As he entered the room, he notices nothing strange within the seating area, so he moved on and went to the girl's bedroom. There he saw the girl who was still fast asleep like a princess. No matter how bad she looked, she still can charm anyone.

”Girlie, what happened?” He ponders and asked.

As Jo was about to leave the room, he heard a strange and whispering sound. He wondered where the sound was coming from.

”Hey, girlie, are you awake?”

Jo went closer to Elizabeth and soon caught where the whispering sound was coming from. ”Hey, what's wrong?”

Jo went closer and placed his ear near the girl's mouth in order to clearly hear what she was mumbling about.

”Who are you?”

”Hey, girlie it's me.” Jo responded thinking the girl might be dreaming.

”Why are you here?”

Jo did not answer and was taken aback by the girl's next question. He became suspicious of everything and anxiously examines the room. He went to the bathroom, seating area and even opened the girl's closet to check if someone was hiding inside her room.

”F*ck! We've been caught.” Jo cursed.

Jo suspect that somehow found them but couldn't explain as to why the girl was in a comatose state when she's been doing so well lately. He was right that what happened earlier has nothing to do with her memory.

”The surveillance.” Jo quickly left the girl's room and headed down as he realize how everything will be answered.
