Bettany made a decision there and then to skedaddle. “Let’s head back, Lilly.”

The mention of a ghost did not scare Lilly.

That was great. Pablo was most keen when it came to ghosts.

With Pablo levitating away, Lilly ran and chased after him. She said, “Be good, Granny. Just wait for me here.”

Bettany was not having it.

“Lilly!” Anxious, Bettany tried to keep up as she whipped out her phone to give Anthony a call.

By the time they passed the tree line, darkness had overtaken the sky.

Bettany could see Lilly ahead a moment ago, but Lilly quickly disappeared in the blink of an eye.

With an unknown bird hooted and flew by the deserted woods, Bettany was left alone, scared, and on the verge of tears.

“Lilly! Lilly!”

Bettany called out.

Following the sudden rustle among the bushes, Bettany nervously looked around and saw Lilly carrying a ghost on her back.

The ghost was covered in blood. Its drooping arms were black.

Its clothes were wet, and its hair draped over its face.

As a matter of fact, Lilly did not have a hard time piggybacking the ghost. That was why all Bettany saw was a ghost floating behind Lilly.

The thing that popped into Bettany’s head was a ghost haunting Lilly.

“Lilly…” Bettany put her hand on her chest. The quiver in her voice did not go unnoticed.

Lilly picked her head up in a daze, only realizing now that Bettany came along too. The old lady looked frightened.

She immediately ditched the ghost. Wham. The ghost fell onto the ground and let out a grunt…

That was the least of Lilly’s worries as she ran over to give Bettany a hug.

Thinking Lilly was scared, Bettany wanted to offer solace only to find the little girl comforting her instead.

“There, there, Granny. Don’t be scared.
