Chapter 154
“Miss Ren, is that you?”
As it got closer to Renee, the gruff voice became a little more excited.
Renee was scared to death. She waved her hands around and shouted, “Go away! Don’t make me summon a priest to exorcise
you!”
“Don’t be scared. Miss Ren, it’s me. Your favorite, Margaret.”
The skinny ‘ghost‘ pulled Renee’s wrist with one hand and pushed away the hair with the other to reveal her pale face.
“Margaret?”
Renee instantly quieted down and carefully opened her eyes.
After taking a good look at the ‘ghost‘, she couldn’t believe her own eyes.
“Margaret, how? Didn’t you
Margaret was the Everheart residence’s housekeeper and Renee’s nanny.
Renee was closer to Margaret than she was to her mother on some levels.
.
Ever since the Everheart family went bankrupt, and Renee’s parents ended their life, Margaret had been guarding the house. In the end, Margaret was rumored to be beaten to death and buried.
That was what Renee heard after marrying into the Hunt family.
By the time she got back to the Everheart residence, it was too late. She went to the graveyard but couldn’t find Margaret’s
body.
After she went home, she got sick and was in a coma for more than half a month. She seemed to be possessed, blurting out random things from time to time.
It was then that Francine decided that she was bad luck.
Renee had vowed that one day she would seek revenge for Margaret.
Coincidentally she was looking for the few men who murdered her!
“Could it be that Margaret knew about it and came to see me?‘ she thought to herself.
“Miss Ren, don’t be afraid. I’m not a ghost. Touch me. I’m warm.”
Margaret was worried that she might have scared Renee, so she instantly put Renee’s hand over her forehead. Her grin remained as warm as before.
Renee touched her forehead carefully and found that Margaret was indeed warm!
“You’re alive! This is amazing!”
Renee was so happy and excited that she cried tears of joy.
The joy of suddenly having a family again was overwhelming.
“Miss Ren, you still like to cry like when you were small. Are you hungry? I’ll make you some food.”
Margaret’s sole responsibility was to look after the Everheart residence and Renee, and it gave her meaning and a sense of
purpose.
She had been waiting for this day for four years!
“No, I’m not hungry. I’m not in the mood to eat. I have so many questions. I need your explanation. Otherwise, I won’t sleep!”
Renee switched on the light and pulled Margaret to sit down on the sola. She wanted to know what happened after she left the Everheart residence.
“Okay, I’ll tell you all about it.”
Margaret gently held Renee’s hand and wiped her tears as she began to speak.
