Capítulo 197: Chapter 197

Many hours ago...

After spending some time gazing at Hue's sleeping face, Jennet went to the kitchen for a drink. As she quenched her thirst, a gust of wind blew hard, knocking on the back door to the yard.

She glanced as she placed the glass on the counter.

"That's a strong wind..." she murmured and approached to close the ajar door.

'West gate...'

She froze. She furtively eyed the vicinity. Her heart skipped a beat and goosebumps crawled her skin.

Although terrified, she stepped out slightly and looked around; just to ease her feeling.

The backyard was mantled in darkness with the twin moon hiding behind thick black clouds.

Thud, thud, thud, thud...

Jennet flinched and looked up. The sound of footsteps came from upstairs and, strangely, she felt it wasn't her family members.

She hurried inside, locked the door, and rushed upstairs. But, the hallway was empty. However, the door to their bedroom was slightly ajar with the lights dimly lit.
