Listen, has Terence been here before?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>When she speaks of Terence, her eyes are filled with fear and unease.<\/p>\n<p>Sure enough, she has seen Terence.<\/p>\n<p>However, there is a little uncertainty in her tone. I am not stupid, so I don&#8217;t plan to tell her the truth.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Terence? I don&#8217;t know what you&#8217;re talking about.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I shake my head innocently, pretending not to know anything.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Terence, my ex-husband Terence! Don&#8217;t say you don&#8217;t know!&#8221; She glares at me angrily and grits her teeth.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Oh, I get it. But isn&#8217;t your ex-husband dead? How could he come here? Don&#8217;t scare me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I pretend to look around in panic and hug myself.<\/p>\n<p>Hilda is confused.<\/p>\n<p>She shakes her head and nods.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Yes, he is dead. I saw the bullet hitting him with my own eyes, and I saw his corpse. He can&#8217;t be alive. But I couldn&#8217;t have mistaken him. Even if he turned into ashes, I could recognize him.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Now, I can basically confirm that Hilda saw Terence.<\/p>\n<p>However, she is not sure that what she saw was real.<\/p>\n<p>Characteristically, she would rather believe it.<\/p>\n<p>I raise my eyebrows at Hilda and say provocatively, &#8220;Even if there is a trick, it will be for Frances! Be careful, I might get him back!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Before Hilda figures out my words, I quickly close the door and breathe out a sigh of relief.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, I react quickly. The way she looked at me just now was too frightening.<\/p>\n<p>Soon, I hear the sound of footsteps outside the door. Hilda should have left.<\/p>\n<p>I am really hungry, so I go out to buy some food. Then I revise the manuscript and submit it.<\/p>\n<p>I feel relieved to end it. The next thing I should do is to deal with Hilda.<\/p>\n<p>I take out my phone and dial Frances\u2019 number.<\/p>\n<p>At this moment, he and Hilda should be together.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Frances, I want to see you.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-567","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/567","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=567"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
