Blake and Anthony looked at each other.
Anthony asked, “What are you doing here?”
Ashley stammered, “I… I couldn’t sleep at night and happened to hear the commotion…”
Her eyes landed on Josh, “It seems to be the voice of Josh. Is he alright?”
“There’s nothing wrong. Go back.” Anthony ordered.
Blake heard him and withdrew the sharp knife.
Ashley let out a sigh of relief and glanced at Blake before saying, “Yes, I’m going back now.”
After saying that, she left in a hurry.
Josh, “Dad, what’s going on?”
Anthony lowered his voice, “The room where the servants rest is at the other end of the mansion. Even if you shouted, she couldn’t have heard it and come over so quickly.”
The soundproofing effect of the Crawford mansion was very good. Otherwise, the rest of the Crawford family have been woken up by Josh banging on the door, except for the special Blake.
“Next, there are so many children in this mansion. How does she know that the person shouting is you?”
It was hard to tell who was who when little children screamed, not to mention the fact that the three boys have almost similar voices.
Ashley could know that it was Josh’s with a scream. Which was way too suspicious.
These two points were enough to prove that she was lying.
Josh linked the points and asked nervously, “Daddy, do you mean that it was her who was in my room?”
Anthony nodded and phoned Jack to ask him to check the surveillance camera.
However, they had no luck as the recording was stopped by someone.
Josh felt fearful. People with weird actions were scarier than spirits.
Anthony looked up at Blake and Blake looked back. They were thinking of the same thing.
Blake nodded his head and raised his voice slightly, “Then I’ll go back to my room first.”
“Alright,” Anthony said.
“Dad, I want to sleep in your room.” Josh requested.
Anthony agreed and brought Josh to his room.
The Crawford mansion was silent again.
A few moments later, the door on the first floor was pushed open and a figure floated in silently.
Blake was crouching on the top of the beam, secretly sneering at it.
Normal people who have been caught on the spot would never dare to do it again right away. Either this maid is weird to the point of being creepy or she doesn’t think normally.
Blake was more inclined to believe that she was a psychopath.
Ashley went upstairs without making a sound. The strange thing was she looked like a lonely person lurking around in the middle of the night.
Blake frowned as he had a very strange feeling…
In the room, Josh was lying on the bed with his hands on his belly.
Anthony brought out a thin bed quilt, “Let’s sleep.”
Josh moved near Anthony as the room was dark without a night light.
“Dad?”
“Hmmm?”
He is not asleep yet, Josh thought.
“Dad… A lot of people said that my brother and I came from the test tube. Our existence is just to provide a match for my aunt. Is it true?”
“Who told you that?” Anthony asked with his eyes closed.”
“Everyone said so.”
They grew up without a mother, only a father. There was not a trace of their mother’s existence. That’s why others said Josh and Drake were carefully selected from the test tubes. Their birth was only to provide a suitable match for their aunt who was going through the last stage of Leukemia. There was not a suitable match for her in the entire world.
“Why is there a need to separate the test tube then?”
Josh and Drake were more than one year apart.
Josh was speechless as he thought of it.
Anthony was about to speak but he felt something. He turned and stared at the door.
Josh followed and tensed up.
A door would always have a small gap below otherwise it would create friction with the floor from opening and closing the door. They could see someone standing outside from the gap.
A few moments later the shadow moved toward the front and soon disappeared.
Josh nearly pissed himself due to the fright.
Lilly’s room.
She was sleeping soundly when a sudden gust of wind blew on her cheeks. Polly also made some deep squeaky noises on the balcony. Parrots would make this sound in the middle of the night when they were touched by other creatures that pose threats to them.
Soon, the sound was gone.
Lilly opened her eyes and blankly stared at the ceiling.
Her eyelids were half closed and she was half asleep.
The surroundings were quiet. When the door was gently opened, Lilly looked over in confusion as she heard it.
She saw a figure coming in, gradually approaching her…
Lilly could clearly see the figure walking to her bedside, staring straight at her.
Suddenly, Lilly asked out loud, “Aunt Ashley, what are you doing?”
Ashley was shocked by the childish voice in the dark. She shrieked.
“Ahh!”
She backed up hurriedly but ended up stepping on something that made a loud noise.
The headless female spirit was so scared that she briefly separated from Ashley, causing her head to shift by 0.03 feet.
Lilly could see it now and exclaimed in shock, “Huh, so you are hiding here!”
No wonder she could not find her, no matter how hard she tried.
Lilly immediately got up and reached out to grab the head of the headless female spirit.
“Come out now…”
Lilly stood on the bed and twisted the headless female spirit’s head with all her strength, like pulling a carrot.
Ashley quickly held her head with a hint of pain, then her expression became stiff and rigid.
She made a “huh” sound and said, “Ms. Lilly… what are you saying?”
Ashley showed a fierce expression.
How could this little girl even want of catching her?!
Being loved by many people and born into a wealthy family, why could not it be her?!
Although she wanted to be clever as Josh, the identity of being this little girl was more suitable.
Ashley reached out to viciously grab Lilly’s neck, but suddenly a black lightning bolt flashed from the balcony.
Blake’s eyes gleamed with killing intent as he was about to slap Ashley away.
But he saw Lilly suddenly grab Ashley’s hand, and she flung Ashley away.
“Go away!” The little girl said it in a childish voice.
Boom! Ashley crashed into a nearby toy shelf, causing it to collapse and the toys to scatter all over the ground.
All of this happened in an instant, leaving Blake stunned.
Was this his little sweetheart?!
Hannah, sleeping on the bed, seemed annoyed by the noise, frowning and turning over while muttering something, and soon fell asleep again.
Lilly ran barefoot off the bed and went to Ashley.
She immediately stretched out her white and tender little feet and stepped on Ashley’s chest when she was trying to resist.
Ashley wanted to push her away, but no matter how hard she tried, she could not move her.
Lilly asked, “What are you doing here? Why did you sneak into my room?”
Ashley saw Blake behind her, and she was in a panic.
“I didn’t do anything… I don’t know why I’m here. Maybe I was sleepwalking…”
Ashley said while struggling, “Ms. Lilly, can you let me go first?”
“No, I can’t!”
Blake drew his short sword out and said, “Lilly, go rest aside.”
He was good at extracting confessions.
