As the villa was too spacious and empty except for Milkshake which was in her arms, Ellen lost her appetite for
dinner and only stayed on the couch in the living room. Just then, her phone rang.
She instantly jolted in fear, but upon seeing that the call was from Jared, she let out a small sigh of relief and
answered, “Hello?” “Have you eaten?”
“No. I don’t really have an appetite.” “Then I’ll come back earlier and bring some food for you.”
“Okay,’ she said gratefully. “I’ll be hanging up now.” Upon hearing the voices around him, Ellen decided not to
disturb him any further and agreed. “Okay.”
After hanging up, she suddenly realized that Milkshake had disappeared. If it had escaped outside at this hour, it
would be difficult to find it. “Milkshake! Where did you go, Milkshake?”
As Ellen spoke, she picked up her phone and walked toward the exit of the living room. She didn’t notice that, just
inside the back cushion, there was a small tail that belonged to Milkshake swaying in the air. Milkshake was on the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtcouch all along. “Milkshake, don’t run around. Where are you?” Ellen called out, heading outside to search for the
cat.
Although the exterior of the villa was well-lit, she had been on high alert for the past few days. At this moment, she
didn’t want her beloved pet to go missing, but she was too afraid to go too far either, leaving her in a dilemma.
Ellen ended up trailing into the garden as she was searching, but just then, her phone rang again. After taking a
glance at her phone, she saw that it was yet another unknown number. Although the number was different, she
knew that it was a prank call even without picking up.
Thus, she decided not to answer and silenced her phone as she still needed it to light her way. However, she could
still feel the chilling wind sweeping around her, leaving her with no choice but to return to the living room.
Upon seeing Milkshake on the couch, she nearly burst into tears from joy and took it into her arms, not allowing it to
escape again.
However, her phone continued to ring with calls, all from unknown numbers, and she soon had more than ten
missed calls before she realized it. This urging was torture on her mind, leaving her with no choice but to turn off
her phone.
As time slowly ticked by, the autumn breeze roared harshly as Ellen curled up on the couch.. Although her
surroundings were brightly illuminated, the silence seemed even louder after she turned off her phone.
As much as she seemed fine on the surface, her mind was in disarray and dominated by terrifying memories that
she couldn’t get rid of. She couldn’t help but recall some of the horrors she had heard and seen since she was a
child, and she remembered vividly when she had seen a traffic accident on her way to school, the image of which
still summoned a sense of dread whenever she thought of it.
At that moment, she was enshrouded by her memories, unable to get rid of them no matter how hard she tried.
Her mental state slowly got chipped away bit by bit, as if she were stuck in a maze without an exit.
Just when she felt like she was about to be consumed by horror, she suddenly heard the sound of a car, and she
bolted out of the entrance without a second thought. Upon seeing the handsome man striding amidst the lights, she

Jared was just deep in thought about his work when he looked up and saw a figure flashing toward him.
Immediately after, Ellen jumped into his arms, firmly wrapping her arms around him.
He jolted in surprise at first, but he soon sensed something off about her. She was hugging him extremely tightly as
if she were afraid of something.
Jared returned her embrace and gently caressed the back of her head, asking gently, “What’s wrong?”
Just then, her phone rang again. Clearly, the prankster was not only calling her after midnight. As long as her phone
was turned on, they would keep calling her.
Ellen jolted at the sound, and as she looked at her phone, Jared reached out and took her phone with his large
hand, asking, “Do you want to pick it up?”
“Someone’s pranking me by scaring me through the phone,” she replied.
Hearing that, he answered the call, only to hear a harrowing cry from the other end. “Ellen Reiss, I won’t let you off
easily. I’ll turn into a spirit and haunt you for the rest of your life.”
Jared’s handsome face darkened as he immediately hung up. Just as he was about to return Ellen’s phone to her, a
large number of text message notifications sounded on her phone.
Seeing that he was about to open the texts, she hurriedly stopped him. “Don’t look, those are all scary pictures.”
