NOVPUBChapter 931: 447 Yuejin_2 Chapter 931: 447 Yuejin_2 “What’s the big deal?
I’ll settle our score later when we return,” she said.
“Lexi, you should say less, Ms.
Rinto saved us after all.”
The path downhill was challenging, and Maddy Spinter had several near-falls, only to be saved by Aubree Groove each time.
Gradually, Maddy’s attitude towards Aubree has become more and more favorable.
“Why did you appear here?” Maddy asked.
“To find you guys, be careful….” As Aubree pulled her again, Maddy glanced at the stones beneath her feet, her heart pounding with close calls.
...
Below was an inclined path, the consequences of tumbling down were unthinkable.
Maddy stared at her in a daze, “Did you come alone?”
Who would have the courage to venture deep into the mountains alone?
Maddy felt a complex mix of emotions.
For the first time, she realized her impulsivity.
“Yes, I’m alone.”
“Aren’t you scared?” If it were her, she’d never dare lack the courage to enter the mountains alone.
“I grew up in the mountains, why should I be scared?” The young lady’s voice is soft and calm, as if filled with unlimited strength.
Maddy sniffled and softly whispered an apology.
“How did you end up here behind the Phoenix Mountain?”
Maddy shook her head in confusion: “I don’t know, I just wanted to stroll around the Dreamy Villa.
I saw a person acting suspiciously, so I followed them covertly.
By the time I noticed, I was already lost.”
Maddy didn’t dare admit that she went after a figure resembling Aubree.
Looking back, Maddy shivered.
That person had suddenly disappeared, like a ghost.
She couldn’t help but grab Aubree’s sleeve, her frail body trembling slightly.
Aubree glanced at her: “A suspicious person?”
Those pitch-black eyes were like deep abysses, leaving no place for fears and lies to hide.
Maddy pursed her lips and then honestly admitted the truth.
Aubree looked thoughtful.
A small hand tightly grasped her sleeve, Aubree turned her gaze towards her.
Maddy looked like a startled rabbit, her eyes red.
“I’ve heard that the Dreamy Villa is haunted, did I! encounter a ghost?” Her voice trembling as she spoke.
Aubree gently patted her hand in a comforting manner.
“Don’t be scared,” she said.
——
“Mistress….” Not long after, Gideon Moore arrived with his group.
Aubree glanced at Lexi Benz who was trailing behind them: “Miss Benz is injured, take her to the hospital.”
Gideon Moore waved his hand and someone ran over with a stretcher.
“Mistress, are you alright?” Gideon Moore surveyed Aubree and let out a sigh of relief when he saw she was unharmed.
“I’m okay.
How are the guests?”
“Besides Madam Elijah and Madam Gatten and Miss Gatten, other guests have been dismissed.”
The sky dimmed as the moon hung halfway above the treetops.
“Has Sergeant Linggo arrived?”
“He’s here, along with an archaeologist, checking…” Gideon Moore caught sight of Maddy.
“Performing inspection.”
Aubree nodded: “Miss Spinter was frightened today, I’ll arrange for someone to send you home.
Your aunt is worried about you.”
As expected, Cynthia Spinter ran over to hug Maddy, “Maddy, you scared me to death.”
She looked Maddy up and down: “Are you okay?”
Maddy pursed her lips and shook her head.
“Ms.
Rinto, I’m sorry for causing you trouble.” Cynthia Spinter turned to Aubree.
“Miss Spinter’s disappearance is my responsibility as well.
Thankfully, it was just a scare.
It’s getting late, I’ll arrange for someone to send you home.”
Before leaving, Maddy looked at Aubree, “I…
thank you.”
With that, she turned around and left.
Cynthia Spinter gave a surprised glance at Maddy’s retreating figure.
Has the child changed her manners?
Cynthia Spinter nodded at Aubree, then quickly turned around to catch up.
Upon returning to the Dreamy Villa, Madam Elijah who had been waiting for some time was the first to approach.
“What happened?
Are you hurt?”
Her beautiful black skirt was covered in dirt, and half of the skirt was missing.
Although it didn’t affect her temperament, she looked quite ragged, an aspect that Madam Elijah had never seen before.
Aubree shook her head: “I’m fine, I’m sorry for making you worry, Madam Elijah.”
“What’re you talking about, don’t be so formal with me.” 𝓃𝓸𝓋𝓹𝓾𝓫.𝒸ℴ𝓶
“Mistress.” Dallyn hurried over.
Madam Elijah patted Aubree’s hand: “If you have urgent matters, go take care of them, don’t bother with me.
The May Forest has its charm during the night.”
“Butler Moore, take Madam Elijah and Madam Gatten and Miss Gatten up to the hot springs on the mountaintop.
Madam, once I finish, I’ll join you at the hot springs.”
