Chapter 25 That Matter
"Nora, is anyone in the ancestral hall?"
"It should be Miss Clinton, Mr. Clinton's aunt. She has been be a vegetarian and learning the sutras in
the Buddha hall next to the ancestral hall for a long time."
Janice was not unfamiliar with Freya. When she first came to the Clinton’s, only grandfather and she
greeted Marcus. However, others just ignored Marcus, as if he didn’t exist.
"Don't disturb her. Let's go back first."
"Yes, Mrs. Clinton."
After that, the two turned around to leave, but they were stopped by Freya who heard the sound, "Is it
Janice? Why are you leaving when you just came?!"
Hearing Freya calling her name, Janice quickly turned her head, nodded respectfully, and replied with a
smile, "Auntie, I'm afraid to disturb you."
"We’re a family. You don't have to be so polite to me like this. Come in. I want to chat with you for a
while."
"Okay."
Hearing her happily agreed, Freya took her hand and walked into the Buddha hall.
The four walls of the ancestral hall were dark-brown wooden walls. There was a kind of woody scent
between the lattice windows. In the smoke of burning joss sticks, she saw a transparent white jade
Buddha statue on the table. Such an exquisite statue was really rare. Janice couldn't help but stared at
it for a long time. For a moment, she forgot to speak.
"Janice, have a seat."
Only then did Janice notice Freya's dress. She was wearing a light blue plain dress and holding a string
of shiny black Buddhist beads. Beneath that kind face, the black and white eyes were filled with
tenderness. She looked so kind.
"Auntie, do you often come to the ancestral hall?" Janice let go of her guard and sat down beside
Freya.
"Since your uncle passed away, I have lost interest to the world. Later, my dad built this ancestral hall
for me. I will come here every day to release your uncle’s soul from suffering. I have been accustomed
to be vegetarian and reciting sutras for so many years."
"It turns out to be like that."
"By the way, I heard that someone died in the villa. Did you see the dead Ada with your own eyes?"
Hearing this, Janice was stunned. Her face changed abruptly. Some tiny beads of sweat oozed out
from the tip of her nose. She felt scared and was silent for a while.
"Don't be afraid!" Freya patted Janice’s hand lightly, comforting her, "Since that incident happened,
there are some persons who will die in this family inexplicably. It’s all concentrated on the night of the
full moon. The reason why I come to the ancestral hall to recite sutras is that I also want to help those
who have died."
"Auntie, which matter?"
"It's about Marcus' car accident! He becomes like this now because of the car accident a few years
ago. It's strange! On the day of the accident, the driver who drove Marcus said that he was very clear-
headed. He was in a good health. He did not drink before getting into the car, and at that time, the light
was sufficient and the front vision was normal. He said that during the driving, a black figure suddenly
appeared in front of the car. He had to turn the steering wheel to avoid the person. Then the car hit the
wall. What's even stranger is that after the accident, the police called up nearby surveillance video and
found that there was no personal image in front of the car at that time, and the person the driver said
did not exist at all."
"Ah? How could this be?" Janice asked in surprise.
"Yeah." Freya didn’t answer Janice’s question, but sighed for the past. Her eyes were filled with
unconcealed sadness, "Marcus is really pitiful. Because of this car accident, he was blind and disabled.
His rest life is ruined."
Janice had heard people say that before Marcus had a car accident, he was so excellent.
Unexpectedly, this car accident suddenly ruined his happiness.
"Back then, the police investigated for a long time but they didn’t find out the cause of the car accident.
However, after that strange car accident, five or six servants died one after another in the family. They
all happened on the night of the full moon without exception. Some people said that the murderer was
just the dark shadow, but other people say that Marcus' personality has changed drastically after a car
accident. As long as anyone doesn't listen to him, he will kill that person. I absolutely don't believe this
statement! I watch him grow up. I'm sure those people weren't killed by him. The only possibility is that
there is something weird in this house. After this series of strange things happened, it strengthened my Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
determination to release the dead’s souls from suffering."
It turned out that those rumors were true. The Clinton family was indeed an ominous place. Maybe one
day she would lose her life here.
Janice only felt creepy. The blood in her body seemed to have cooled down suddenly. She couldn't
help but shivered. Tension and fear came to her like a tide. Her heart seemed to be pinched by an
invisible hand. Even her breathing was a little difficult.
She tried to restrain the fear. She forced a smile, and pretended to say calmly, "Auntie, you have
worked so hard for so many years."
"It's not hard work. It's all I am willing to do. Alas, you don't have to think about it too much. As long as
we do more good deeds, ghosts will not come to us."
"Yeah." Janice replied insincerely.
"Janice, take good care of Marcus. He is a good boy. You two will be happy in the future. Auntie will
always be on your side."
"Thank you, Auntie."
