Chuck didn't know what to say. He was suffering from great pain and struggle in his heart. For so many
years, he had been hoping that she could be sober. Now that she was sober, and he was hoping that
she could accept him as her husband, his life seemed to be nothing but hopes and results.
Looking at them, Sophia suddenly realized that sometimes people's good luck and misfortune were
only on a thought of them. When the God closed all the doors, there would be a window left behind.
The lucky people would seek the window in time to appreciate the better scenery, while the unlucky
people would always guard the door that would never open again, until the only window was missed.
"Melody, wake up. Chuck loves you. Over the years, he has been staying by your side, never giving up,
and he has been doing everything for you. He is the person who deserves your love."
"Shut up!" Melody stared at her fiercely with her eyes full of hatred, "Lucas was going to marry me. You
took him away from me. You are evil and devil!"
"Melody!" Standing between the two of them, Lucas blocked the killing eyesight of Melody and said,
"My Melody shouldn't be like this. She is so kind, strong, positive and hopeful. She always says to me
that she should work hard to make herself stronger. There is no difficulty in this world that can beat
her." He caressed her head and said, "Forget the past and start a new life. You can trust Chuck. He will
love you with all his heart."
"Why can't you love me, why..." she cried, full of resentment, sadness and hatred, which broke Chuck's
heart. After a long while, he said in a weak voice, "I'm taking Melody back."
Watching their receding figures, Sophia felt her heart was like the waves of the sea beside her, difficult
to calm down. "I hope that Melody can really wake up."
Lucas sighed and he could see from Melody's eyes that she was still unhappy.
The night quickly shrouded the world. It was so quiet that there was no star or moon in it, which made
people feel rather helpless.
In the villa, as usual, Melody delivered the milk to Chuck's room.
Chuck was still working. He looked up and gently smiled at her, "I'll drink later."
Melody nodded and went out.
When the door was closed, he poured the milk into the trash can in secret.
After a while, the door was opened again. At the sight of Chuck lying on the bed, Melody smiled with
satisfaction. She took an empty glass from the bedside table, turned off the light and went out.
It was late at night.
The cold wind blew from the mountain to the earth, and the shrill whistling spread from the treetop to
the grass, as if a ghost crawling out of the ground was howling, looking around for the souls to devour.
In another room of the villa, the light was still on. A woman sitting in front of the dresser in her
wheelchair was looking straight at herself in the mirror. Suddenly, she had a very gloomy smile on the
corner of her mouth. She slowly moved her feet to the ground and stood up from the wheelchair.
She walked to the wardrobe and took out a box with a password lock. She opened the box and saw a
bright red long skirt with long hair which was as elegant as a ghost and a lifelike mask made of human
skin.
She put on a long dress, a red, pretty pupil, and a human skin mask in front of the mirror, and finally
painted a thick layer of snow-white powder on the mask, looking like a ferocious female ghost.
She smiled coldly and made a light turn in front of the mirror, "I'm coming, Lucas!"
At this moment, the door was pushed open. She turned around suddenly and saw Chuck standing at
the door. He was staring at her with astonishment and disbelief.
She also seemed to be scared, so she took two steps back and was at a loss for a moment.
It was deathly quiet in the room. Only the sound of rapid and disordered breathing was shuttling in the
cold wind.
After a while, Chuck's low and hoarse voice broke the ice.
"When did you get better?"
"Since you have found it, I will not hide it from you." She said faintly. "Do you forget that I had a surgery
two years ago? After the operation, my spine is recovering very well. I don't want you to know that
every time after you fall asleep, I will start to do physical therapy. "
He was shocked and suddenly realized that the man in front of him was totally a stranger. "Why?" he
asked He said through his teeth.
"If you know I'm fine, you will ask for more, right? But I can't. " Her voice was as cold as ice, without
any temperature. His heart was trembling, and in despair, it brought him into a bottomless abyss. "Why
do you dress like this?"
"You know it clearly. Why do you ask again?" She walked slowly to his side, the smile hidden behind
the human skin mask was even more terrifying than the mask itself.
"Melody, stop it. Don't do stupid things anymore. He won't love you even if you kill Sophia." He grabbed
her shoulders and stared at her in great pain. He couldn't watch her being obstinate.
She laughed. Her shrill laughter echoed in the dark night, cold and terrifying, like a ghost. "He said he
would marry me, but he married someone else. He owed me. He can't marry anyone else except me. I
will kill one if he marries one, I will kill one hundred if he marries one hundred." Her tone was full of
unsolvable resentment. It was these resentments that supported her to stay alive, which made her
stand up tenaciously.
"Melody, please forget the past. If you want, I can take you abroad and start a new life in a place where
no one knows us." Chuck was almost begging her. She couldn't destroy herself again.
"Chuck!" Melody's voice suddenly became soft. She stretched her hands to embrace him. He was very
happy, thinking that she had finally come around. Unexpectedly, a strong current came through from
his waist. He quivered violently and fell on the ground.
She bent down and touched his face, "Good boy. Have a good sleep. I will come back to see you after I
kill Sophia." Crossing his body, she slowly walked out with a cold smile on her face behind the mask.
At the HB Villa.
It was late at night. Lucas was still sitting in the small pavilion by the seaside while Sophia was alone in
her room. It was really a good chance.
She carefully went around to the back of the villa, fearing of disturbing Lucas.
The room was dark, and there was a faint sound of breath from the bed. Melody tiptoed to the bed,
lifted the quilt and hit the man's head with the electric shock device. Suddenly, lightning flashed. Melody
seemed to lose consciousness, so she took out the knife and stabbed her. In an instant, her blood
spurted, splashing all over her face and body. There was something in her heart. She felt extremely
happy.
Just then, a violent storm blew the door open. She turned her head and saw a woman in the same
dress as her appeared at the door. Her hair was unkempt and messy, and she looked exactly like the
Joyce!
She trembled violently and tried to move back, but the bedside was blocked and she couldn't move.
The woman was walking slowly. Her limbs were stiff and her joints were still cracking. She didn't look
like a living person at all.
