“Yeah, I’ve never heard of it either!” said Frederic, “Mr. and Mrs. Tanner have always told the public that Nelly
Tanner’s their only daughter!”
“If Kelly was really dead, how could she possibly send me a message to save her?”
Josiah stumbled back, not daring to think further. He was never a believer of supernatural talks but not believing in
it did not mean that it did not exist.
Was it such a coincidence that he had run into one?
“Z…” Josiah panicked. “It’s not some kind of unsolved murder, is it? Did Kelly… die a wrongful death?”
Zephyr sighed and looked at Josiah again like he had failed him. How could there be something like that in the
world? It was ridiculous!

says?”
Josiah stared with his big, innocent eyes at a loss.
“Let me ask you. Do you know how many illegitimate kids the rich all over the world have?”
Josiah shook his head numbly.
“So we don’t know if the Tanners have another daughter either!
“Lies and truths are often one line apart. If Mr. and Mrs. Tanner are really hiding something, the outsiders definitely
won’t know!”
Zephyr pressed his lips together. Josiah had always been a silly goose, but he did not expect the guy to be this naive
to the extent of thinking he had encountered a ghost over Nelly’s nonsense.
Josiah mulled over it and asked in worry, “So, Kelly must be in danger right now! How am I going to help her?”
Zephyr was silent, analyzing the situation after a while. “If Kelly has run into an emergency, her first choice should
be calling the police.
“But she opted to send you a message, so this means that whatever she’s in isn’t urgent but is still dangerous.”
Josiah nodded.
“What should I do then?”
“This is the woman you like. You’re not figuring something out to save her but asking me what to do?”
“Z…”
Zephyr glanced at him and pursed his lips.
The crux of the issue was Nelly. They had no idea what she was planning to do.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmZephyr asked seriously, “Josiah, if she’s really a ghost, will you still like her?”
“Huh?” Josiah widened his eyes and took a long time to process the question. Ultimately, he gave a firm nod.
“I’ll help her… If she really died a wrongful death, I’ll find out the truth so she can move on in peace.
“But if she’s still alive, I’ll destroy the person who hurt her!”
“You like her so much?” Zephyr arched his brow. “You met her only once, haven’t you?”
“W-Well, you didn’t know sis-in-law before this either, and that night she married you, you wanted to… to do that
with her too!”
Zephyr glared and raised his voice immediately. “Who said that!?”
Josiah chuckled. His bro must have forgotten.
When they were still in Jangasas and had too much to drink at one time, their brain-to-mouth filters stopped
functioning. That was when Zephyr suddenly said that the night Cordelia married him, he actually wanted to have
her…
Love at first sight was just a dirty mind at play.
