Lucas was elegantly holding his chopsticks and eating slowly. Beside him was Harper, who was burying his head in his food without saying a word. William sat opposite Lucas and ate quickly. His cheeks were puffed up. When he heard the sound, he looked up and said happily, “Sister is back!” However, when he looked up, he saw a big sister standing in front of him. Behind her was a series of ghosts. Some of these ghosts had eyeb.a.l.l.s hanging below their sockets, some had rotten mouths, revealing pale teeth… Some had stomachs that were open, and there was a ghost baby hanging inside… There was also an old woman wearing a purple shroud and holding a walking stick. When she saw
William looking over, she even grinned at him. More and more ghosts surged in. As if they sensed William’s gaze, they all moved their eyes stiffly and looked at William faintly…
William spat out the rice in his mouth!
Lucas and Harper, who were opposite him, immediately suffered. They were inexplicably sprayed with rice and vegetable crumbs.
Lucas and Harper: “…” Did he have to do this? Did he have to do this? Wasn’t it just because his sister was back?!
Lucas was furious. He took a tissue and wiped it. Harper spat out the rice in his mouth and spat. He said to William angrily, “William, you did it on purpose, right?!” He was so angry that he didn’t even call him Second Brother!
However, William could not care less about Lucas and William now. He was so frightened that his scalp went numb. “l… l, l, l…” Why could he see ghosts again! Why was he always the one who saw ghosts!
Amelia was holding Helena’s hand. “Sister, sit down. It’s time to eat!” With that, she introduced Helena to everyone. “Grandpa, Grandma, Eldest Uncle, Fifth Uncle, Little Uncle, this is the sister Mia just acknowledged!’
Helena should have been embarra.s.sed, but now it was replaced by other emotions. The men in front of her looked exactly like the brothers in her memory. She said in a trembling voice, “h.e.l.lo… I’m Hall. I’m sorry to have come without saying h.e.l.lo. Sorry to disturb you…”
The moment they heard Helena say her name, Mrs. Walton, Old Master Su, George, Eric, and Andrew looked over. Hall? Helena’s last word was unclear, a little like the p.r.o.nunciation of “na”…
George’s eyes sharpened. He looked at Alex, who shook his head slightly.
After knowing that Hall was a friend Amelia had brought back and had nothing to do with Alex, Mrs. Walton regained her usual expression. However, when she heard the name Hall, she felt depressed. She forced herself to perk up and said, “l didn’t know that there were guests. I’m sorry, but please make do.” With that, she got someone to prepare cutlery for Helena.
Helena quickly took it and said, “l was rude.”
During the meal, everyone had different thoughts. As Helena sat down,
William felt surrounded by ghosts. He stiffened and did not dare to move. Only Amelia and Emma ate happily. One was happy that she had a new friend and a new sister, and the other was simply careless…
After dinner, Alex and George whispered something outside the door. After a while, both of them frowned and looked at Amelia and Emma, who were playing in the living room on the first floor. Beside them was Helena, who was squatting and tying a Barbie doll’s hair.
“Mia, go upstairs for a while. Eldest Uncle has something to tell you.” George walked over.
Amelia looked up. “Okay!’
Elmer closed the booklet in his hand and felt dizzy. He said. “Mia. bring Helena up too.”
Amelia was stunned and corrected softly, “Master… Sister’s name is Hall…” Her mother’s name was Helena… At the thought of this, Amelia was suddenly stunned. She realized belatedly that her sworn sister’s name was a little similar to her mother’s…
Amelia did not say a word. She went to hold Helena’s hand. “Sister, let’s go. I’ll bring you to my room!”
Emma raised her hand. “I’ll go too!”
Amelia paused and looked at the increasing number of ghosts surrounding
Helena. She said, “Sister Emma, you’d better not go.”
William immediately ran upstairs to get his camera. He knew that his sister was going to start catching ghosts again! There were so many ghosts this time. They should be able to fill the Soul Retrieving Gourd to the brim… His mind raced…
Amelia led Helena up the familiar stairs. Her hands were clenched tightly as she looked at the approaching second floor.. She felt as if something was waiting for her in front of her, making her inexplicably afraid…
