Spoiled by Eight Uncles (Lily)

Chapter 294 Meeting a Ghost The old lady was in great pain and felt sorry for her daughter.

However, her son was not married yet, and his partner wanted a 200000 dollar dowry. If Claire did not help him out, what would happen to her son’s marriage? She thought of a story and it was about an old lady’s eldest son selling umbrellas while her youngest son sold salt. The old lady was worried that no one would buy the umbrellas her eldest son sold if the weather was pleasant. At the same time, she was also worried that her youngest son could not sell salt if it was raining.

Claire’s mother felt like she was the old lady in the story as she was worried that her daughter was going to get divorced and her son would not be able to get married if her daughter did not pay for his dowry.

Claire’s mother was in so much pain.

The old lady was wiping her tears in her room while her husband continued nagging. He was blaming his daughter for not being willing to spend money on him and not knowing how to take care of her brother...

The siblings were arguing about money in the living room.

The foolish ghost clinging to the old man stretched comfortably while humming a tune. The more it. hummed, the happier he was.

It was difficult for evil spirits to find a host.

He was lucky enough to come across a handful of them.

Turned out he found a family of fools and would be able to live comfortably for the rest of his life! The foolish ghost stretched himself thin and wrapped his feet around the man’s head. It was ready to cling to his next host, Claire.

After the old man died, it wanted to attach to Claire as it already filled Claire with a bad aura.

When it touched her, it heard a sizzling sound! The foolish ghost withdrew his hand in, then looked at the talisman and sneered! “It seems that | was targeted by a priest. Hahaha, | won't be caught that easily!” I'm not afraid of you! The foolish ghost picked up the talisman and blew on it.

Claire and Ken could not reach an agreement, so she picked up her bag and left. She was living at her parent's home as she was deciding on buying a burial plot for her father.

After the old man was discharged from the hospital, she often came over to cook for the old man. Ken had no money to buy vegetables, so he ate with his parents. She was afraid that her mother could not afford to buy good food, and that her father could not eat well.

She thought of her three—year—old daughter, whom she had ignored for a long time...

Before her daughter’s holiday, she sent her to kindergarten in the morning, went to work during the day, and rushed back to her parent's house at noon and evening to cook for them.

During the holidays, Claire could not take care of her, so she sent her daughter to the countryside with her grandparents.

She sacrificed so much, but her family members took it for granted.

Claire could not stop crying upon thinking of this.

Her house was a few blocks away from her parents house. Claire was upset and did not want to take a car, so she walked home in a dull mood.

Usually, she could hear the sound of cars. However, Claire felt something amiss.

The area was quiet, there were no pedestrians and no cars too.

Westalia Road was a road opposite the community, and that community was located between Virbank River and Westalia Road.

There were no schools or business districts, so there were very few people at night.

However, there was a traffic light on Westalia Road. There would usually be cars around but there were no cars at that moment.

Claire realized that today was the Ghost Festival, and felt scared.

At that moment, a gust of wind blew and stroked her hair. She found that her hand was covered with soot! Claire was so frightened that her face turned pale, she took out her phone and called her husband.

“I... I'm on Westalia Road, can you pick me up...” Her husband answered indifferently, “I don’t have time, I'm in a meeting,” After that, he hung up the phone.

Claire felt her heart sting, and tears rushed out.

Before her father had cancer, a relative told her that she should not only care about her own family after she got married and neglect her parents.

Claire knew this already. Her father must have complained about his pain in front of her relatives.

So she took her father to an examination and found that he had cancer. At that moment, she was stunned and blamed herself for it...

Later, she took care of her parents, but her husband became more dissatisfied with her as she neglected her family.

Claire did not know why it turned out this way. It was like she could never do things right.

One of the taboos of Ghost Festival was not to cry on the road in the middle of the night.

Clair did not know about this and was overwhelmed by the foolish ghost. So, she attracted a few ghosts as well.

“Click Click...” She could hear the sound of high heels from behind her.

Claire looked back but could not see anything...

Impossible, she heard the sound just now.

At this moment, she heard a woman chuckling by her car.

Claire did not dare to look back.

She ran towards her home and was overwhelmed with fear.

She could still hear the sound of high heels behind her no matter how fast she ran.

There was a red light at the intersection. Claire stopped running and felt a hand on her shoulder.

She could feel it without turning her head. It felt like someone was lying on her back and their face stretched across her shoulder...

Claire was stiff. She ignored the red lights and rushed over.

There was a piercing sound, and a bus appeared out of nowhere and hit her! Chire screamed...

It was 3.30 a.m.

Claire's husband realized that she had not come home after he was done with work. He was mad at her, so he decided not to pay any mind to her. However, he was worried when Claire still had not come back after 3 o'clock.

He started calling Claire, but he could not reach her.

Claire's husband felt uneasy, so he rushed out to find her. However, when he reached Westalia Road, he saw Claire lying unconscious on the side of the road.

He could not see the four or five ghosts lying on Claire’s body as they gnawed on her.

“Claire!” Claire’s husband helped her up.

He thought that she had been hit by a car at first. But then, he saw Claire's face turn dark and she stared at him when she opened her eyes.

Claire's husband was so frightened that he dropped her.

“Bang!” Claire smashed into the curb. It made a thrilling sound of wood hitting the ground. It even sounded like ice cubes hitting the ground which made people cringe upon hearing it.

Claire's husband regretted dropping her to the ground. When he took a closer look, Claire was still staring at him.

Claire's husband was stunned.

He froze and heard someone calling his name vaguely.

3/4 It called him repeatedly as it got closer.

He did not believe in ghosts. So, he turned his head and saw a face staring back at him.

It was so close that he did not know whether it was a male or a female.

It only had a strange smile.
