Hannah happily went to her. However, she saw Lilly take out a book and said, “Uncle Liam asked me and Josh to supervise your studies.”
Hannah turned in the opposite direction immediately, “Oh no, I suddenly feel so sleepy. I’m going to take a bath and go to bed.”
When Old Mrs. Crawford talked to Ashley, she just admitted that she was not feeling well. Old Mrs. Crawford didn’t see anything unusual about her, so she kept an eye on her and let her go back to rest.
At eight or nine o’clock at night, the sound of reading came from Lilly’s room. Brooke put on a stern expression, looking just like Anthony. Josh was leaning on Lilly’s dresser, fiddling with his video recorder. At the desk, Lilly was holding a textbook with both hands above her head. Hannah was reading the poem in the textbook out loud. Brooke looked at her hopelessly. What she read out loud was different from the textbook. She was simply saying some random words.
Brooke said sternly, “Did you remember what I taught you just now?”
Hannah looked at her brother’s serious face, which was even scarier than her father’s. She pulled a long face and said, “Yes.”
Josh smirked, “All of them?”
Hannah panicked, “Yes! Yes! Yes!”
Brooke narrowed his eyes, “Good, I’ll test you.” He did not require her to get all of them correct. Just two would be enough.
Lilly looked at Brooke and Hannah back and forth. Brooke is so fierce! Hannah looked at Lilly for help with answers. Before she could say anything, Brooke glared at her. Lilly quickly shut her mouth and signaled Hannah to think of the answer herself. Hannah racked her brain, but she still answered wrongly with hints given by Brooke.
Brooke was so angry that he quit teaching Hannah. What the hell?
“Ask Uncle Liam to teach you!”
Hannah cried pitifully, “No, please. My dad is very angry with me. He could have a heart attack if I go to him again.”

Drake put on a stern expression looking just like Anthony.

Hannah cried pitifully, “No please, my dad is very angry with me. He could have a heart attack if I go to him again.”
Drake sneered, “You knew that too?”
I will not teach her anymore!
Lilly covered her mouth and snickered while Hannah looked at her for help.
Lilly pleaded for Hannah, “Drake, Hannah knew her mistakes. Teach her again and she’ll answer it correctly.”
Fine… five more minutes!
“Learn it by yourself!”
After five minutes, Drake threw the book and left.
Hannah answered wrongly again.
Lilly and Hannah looked at each other.
“Did I memorize it wrongly again?”
“It’s wrong. Drake just explained it.”
Hannah couldn’t remember anything Drake taught her.
Lilly looked at Hannah sympathetically, “Hannah, are you the study slacker?”
Lilly followed Josh to school once, she got to know what’s the difference between a top-grade student and a study slacker.
“I didn’t want to,” Hannah said.
Learning is too difficult. Why is there such a thing as study? Why is there such a thing as an exam?
Lilly patted and comforted her, “Wash up and go to sleep!”
She kicked away her slippers and flung herself on Lilly’s bed, “I want to sleep in your room.”
The two little girls looked at Josh.
Josh said softly, “I will stay a little longer.”
Why is he a boy? He also wants to sleep in this room.
Josh did not want to go back to his room. What to do in case that female spirit appeared again?
Lilly suddenly ran to her dresser and pulled out a yellow talisman from the small drawer.
“Josh, take this. Don’t be afraid!” Lilly looked at him like she knew what he was thinking.
Josh blushed and said, “Who said that I’m afraid? If I’m afraid I would not have invented the device to see spirits…”
Hannah exclaimed, “What? Josh is afraid of spirits? Hahaha, you are a coward!”
Josh was angry because of the teasing and he left.
Hannah innocently touched her nose. What she said is not wrong!
As the night gets deeper, only a few night lights were on at the Crawford mansion.
Josh set up his iron bowl in the room and placed a ritual blade under his pillow.
Then he hung the talisman given by Lilly on his chest.
He felt chills as he saw the curtains sway when the wind blew. He had a feeling that there were people under his bed, in the bathroom, and behind the door. There were people everywhere.
Josh tensed up and gradually fell asleep.
“Whoosh.” The wind blew.
There was a subtle click from the door as if someone was unlocking it with a key.
Josh frowned in his sleep. It looked like he had a nightmare.
The door was pushed open without a creaking sound.
A person tiptoed towards Josh and stared at his sleeping figure.
Suddenly a hand reached out, getting closer and closer to him…
Josh’s eyelashes twitched. He felt something in his dreams and got more restless. He opened his eyes abruptly as he was frightened by his nightmare.
As he got used to the darkness of the room, he recalled his dream and subconsciously turned to look at the door. His pupils shrank. His room door… When did it open?
Josh could feel his hair standing and his heart racing fast. “Who… who is there?” Josh shouted to feel brave. He sprang up and turned on the lights of his room.
The room was bright and the curtains were swaying slightly from the breeze. The room looked quiet and there was nothing at all. Josh almost cried, but the light gave him the courage to look around.
The corridor’s dim night light was on. At the end of the corridor’s corner, there’s a shadow on the ground. It looked like a person’s shadow.
Josh was frightened and he shut the door immediately. He locked it too. He let out a sigh of relief when he felt safe.
“Don’t be afraid. Sob…” Josh couldn’t help but clutch the talisman in front of his chest. The nightmare made him nervous and felt there were people around. Maybe he didn’t close the door before he went to sleep? Josh was not sure about it. He had a habit of closing the door before he goes to bed. Did he forget it tonight?
Josh lay in bed with the lights on. He tossed and turned as he was unable to sleep. He recalled the nightmare again. Someone had opened the door to his room and they wandered around. They stood in front of his bed lostly. The more he thought about it, the more frightened he was.
Josh was thinking of going to Lilly’s room to sleep. He could sleep on the floor. He could also go to his brother’s room. It’s not embarrassing sleeping with your brother, right?
However, if he wanted to go out, he had to go through the corner of the corridor. What if that “person” is hiding there? He would have a face-to-face confrontation with them.
Josh shivered and thought of going to his father. Both of their rooms were separated by a study. He wouldn’t have to go through that corner.
Josh got up. His foot was just about to step on the floor when he saw a shadow coming out from the bottom of the bed. He pulled his feet back instantly.
Everything is so scary!
Josh fumbled to get his phone and was ready to call his father.
Josh could feel his hair standing and his heart racing fast.
“Who… who is there?” Josh shouted to feel brave. He sprang up and on the lights of his room.
