Chapter 17 Shock Reveal

• That night, after taking all my belongings, instead of leaving as planned, Erica decided to hide at Watson's house with the purpose of investigating the matter that Mrs. Lani had discussed with the lawyer. Erica had a strong feeling that the incident was somehow connected to her. It could be something very serious, and Erica needed to find out.
• By this time, it was twelve o'clock at night. Mrs. Lani tossed and turned on her warm bed, but couldn't find a comfortable lying position. She couldn't sleep peacefully, especially with the furious thunder and lightning outside. To make matters worse, Mrs. Lani was plagued by a terrifying nightmare. In that horrifying dream, she saw Erica standing right at the foot of her bed, looking at her with a malicious smile. Erica's long hair flowed and danced in the cold night breeze. A fresh stream of crimson blood flowed from Erica's head, staining her innocent and beautiful face. Mrs. Lani was filled with horror, her eyes wide open, unable to utter a single sound. She struggled desperately to break free from that terrifying image, but all her efforts were in vain.
• Unfortunately, like countless nights before, that terrifying image refused to disappear. It lingered in Mrs. Lani's mind every time she tried to sleep. What's more, unlike previous times, Mrs. Lani felt a chilling fear as she saw Erica approaching her. The distance between them was getting shorter and shorter.
