Female Novel
Chapter 211
Jean's eyes fluttered to see Neera so lost.
This was his first time seeing her this way. It was amusing.
"What did you see that scared you that badly?" He was in a good mood to ask out of curiosity.
This question instantly snapped Neera out of her funk.
"It's… It's nothing. Let's just go."
She didn't want to recall the terrifying imagery. All she wanted was to leave as quickly as possible.
Jean didn't bother asking, seeing how reluctant she was to share the details. He instead turned to the triplets toask, "Are you three scared? Do you want to continue?"
The three kids, having achieved what they set out to do, were in high spirits.
"We can keep going, Uncle Jean. This place is fun!"
"Yeah, these people dressed as ghosts are not scary at all. They look interesting..."
Jean nodded and signaled for them to continue onward. He followed close behind.
Neera didn't dare to stray too far from him and thus stayed reluctantly by his side. novelbin
She couldn't help but mentally freak out as they continued.
It didn't make sense. How did she, someone so afraid of haunted houses, have three children who weren't afraid atall?!
She was not going to accompany the children to places like this ever again!
She had just been scared out of her wits. That was enough for a lifetime…
As they continued, she occasionally came across sights that were enough to frighten anyone, nearly promptingscreams out of her a few times.
Fortunately, she managed to restrain herself, praying internally to reach the exit as soon as possible.
However, just when she thought it was about to end, a woman dressed as Sadako appeared, "gliding" towardthem.
With her disheveled hair and blood-stained face, the lighting had her face looking deathly pale and tinged blue.
Neera couldn't hold back any longer. She was so scared that she almost fainted. She buried herself in Jean'sembrace.
The triplets watched on with wide eyes, secretly hoping that they could hug for a while longer!
It was as if their wishes had been heard. Jean hugged her back, his hand resting on her back.
He could feel that this young woman was genuinely frightened; she was trembling.
Amused, he gently patted her back to comfort her. "Is it that scary?"
He inquired with more concern in his tone compared to before.
Neera, on the verge of tears, responded, "Isn't it scary? That face was terrifying..."
He was somewhat speechless as he thought about how her scream was also frightening.
He had seen that "Sadako" was also trembling in fright.
He glanced at "Sadako".
The triplets sensibly waved at her, indicating that she should leave.
"Sadako" walked away in a daze, thinking about how rough this job was. Scaring customers wasn't easy either!
After "Sadako" left, Jean said in a soft voice, "It's alright. She's gone."
Neera was skeptical and thought he might be tricking her, so she continued to cling to him wordlessly.
His assistant chimed in, "She is gone, Ms. Garcia."
The three children intentionally remained silent, hoping that the two of them could hug a little longer.
Neera, however, soon looked up. After confirming that the ghost was indeed gone, she shyly untangled herselffrom his hold.
Seeing how frightened she was, Jean pondered for a moment before suggesting, "If you're scared, you can hold
onto my clothes."
She didn't hesitate to grab onto it.
He was taken aback. "..."
He had gained a new understanding of this young woman's courage.
The group continued moving forward after the exchange.
She tried to stay behind Jean as much as possible. Every time she felt scared, she buried her face into his back.
He could feel how tightly she was gripping his shirt.
Behind them, Ian couldn't help but be astonished by the sight.
He knew how much his master disliked people getting too close to him.
Yet today, Ms. Garcia was practically throwing herself into his arms. Not only did Jean not push her away, heallowed her to hold onto his clothes. It was truly an unprecedented sight!
