"Melody --" Chuck rushed to her, and the others followed him.
He pushed the door open and saw Melody falling to the ground, with her eyes closed, her hands over
her head, trembling.
"What's wrong, Melody?" Chuck hugged her.
"Joyce! Joyce! I saw her! " Melody jumped into his arms with fear.
Sophia shivered and grabbed Lucas's arm unconsciously. He held her up with a sharp light flashing in
his eyes, "Melody, where is Joyce?"
"She is outside the window." Pointed at the window, quivering, Melody continued, "She was in a red
dress, and her hair was long. Her face was as white as a piece of paper, and her eyes were still
bleeding. She had been staring at me, just like when she had died."
"Let's go out and have a look." John took them to the garden for an inspection. Ellie walked to the
window behind the bathroom, but found nothing there. When she was about to go back, she stepped
on a hard object and picked it up. It was a pearl earring.
However, the comer found nothing. Ellie gave the ear she had picked up to Melody.
After taking a closer look at the earrings, Melody exclaimed, "They are the earrings that I gave to Joyce
on her seventeenth birthday."
The crowd looked at each other and burst into an uproar.
Sophia put her head against Lucas's chest, and her heart raced uncontrollably.
Then Chuck put Melody on the wheelchair and pushed her back to the garden.
At the moment, the party was over. After Ellie finished cutting the cake, the guests left, leaving the Mo
family members alone.
Lucas walked to Melody, who was still frightened, and consoled her with his hands on her head. Then
he asked, "Melody, do you think of Joyce?"
Nodding, Melody said in a trembling voice, "She died. She jumped off the building."
Chuck held her shoulders and said, "Have you seen it clearly? Is that woman really Joyce?"
"It's her! It's her! Though she looks scary, I can still recognize her! It's her!" Melody threw herself into
Lucas's arms and cried, "I'm so scared, Lucas! I'm so scared!"
"Cousin, is the woman Melody was the female ghost who followed you?" Hugging her arms, Ellie
quieted down. She didn't expect the ghost to follow them to her apartment.
"If she wants to go to the bathroom, she must pass through the garden. There are so many people
here, but why did not one of us see her?" Asked John, confused.
"Because she is not a human at all. She is a ghost. It must be a ghost!" Cried Melody.
Chuck had been silent. His face was extremely solemn and there was a muscle on his face that was
twitching. He took over Melody from Lucas and said, "Melody and I have to go home now."
Lucas held Sophia's hand and thought, 'Now, it's time for us to go.'. "John, stay with me tonight, okay?"
said Ellie in fear and wouldn't let go of John's hand Seeing her shivering, John felt sympathetic to her
and hugged her, nodding.
Lucas had been worried that Sophia might be in low spirits. To his surprise, as soon as she got in the
car, she fell asleep quickly. The two boys in her belly had exhausted her. She was dizzy and weak, so
she had no mood to worry about the ghost.
The next day, when Sophia woke up, she found that Lucas had already gone.
He should have gone to work. Sophia stretched and got up lazily.
Pushing the window open, she caught a whiff of thick smoke. She looked out and found that the smoke
came from the backyard and was still billowing.
Oh, my God! It's on fire!
She panicked and pressed the nurse call button to call Rose.
Rose rushed to her room hurriedly, "What's wrong with you, Mrs. Sophia?"
"No, not me." "The backyard is on fire! Go and ask someone to put out the fire!" said Sophia hurriedly
and pulled her to the balcony, pointing to the rolling smoke.
"It's not on fire, but Mr. Lucas is grilling steak for you."Rose burst into laughter
"Roast steak?" Sophia was surprised, "He's grilling steak?"
"Yes." Rose replied, "I don't know what happened to him yesterday. He clamored early in the morning
to ask all the people to move the barbecue furnace into the backyard. He said he wanted to roast
steak, but he didn't even cook noodles. How could he roast steak?" She paused and sighed, "He has
been grilling for the whole morning, and is absolutely forbidden to let anyone approach. All the steak in
the fridge has been used up, so I have to call Gary and ask him to bring the steak as soon as possible.
I think that a cow has been roasted."
Hearing this, Sophia couldn't help laughing. Following her laughing, Rose, who had always been very
serious, laughed.
"I'll go downstairs to have a look. We have to stop such a waste of beef as soon as possible."
Sophia walked to the backyard and coughed from the rolling smoke.
"Damn it!" Someone cursed. Then he shoved the black thing out of the grill and threw it into the trash
can. There were two garbage cans filled with black things near him.
It 's really nothing but gold. No one is perfect.!
She covered her nose with her hand, quietly walked over to him and knocked on his back.
He turned abruptly with a murderous look and immediately softened down when he saw it was her.
However, she was shocked. His handsome face was full of oil gray. He raised his hand to wipe the
sweat from his forehead and added two more lines.
"Honey! Are you hungry? I've practiced for a whole morning and I think this piece of steak will be ready
soon. " He grinned, showing a row of neat teeth, and finally let her see the place which was white. She
quickly got wet tissue to wipe his face and said, "Well, don't roast any more. I don't want to eat steak
today!"
"You don't feel like eating today, maybe tomorrow." He shrugged his shoulders and picked up a piece of
fresh steak and put it on the grill. He had to learn how to cook it. If one day she wanted to eat steak,
she might go to find John. He would never allow such a thing to happen! She seemed to have read his
mind and smiled, "When I want to eat it, we can just let the cook do it."
"But honey, I want you to eat the steak I personally made." He looked very serious.
She stepped forward and hugged him from behind. "You fool, I want a husband, not a cook. It doesn't
matter if you can cook or not. Just like me, I also have a lot of things that I can't do either. I don't know
how to dance. Every time I dance, I step on your foot. I don't play golf. A swing goes out not a ball, but
a golf club."
