Chapter: 1314
�Evil ghosts may exist in some other realm, a realm we can�t see or touch. Or maybe, its existence is a form of energy, a magnetic field. When the energy or magnetic field is too strong, it might affect our realm as well.
�For example, Miss Ren, you don�t get nightmares back then. But you suddenly dreamed of something that was so scary that it woke you up in cold sweat. It is possible that you were affected by those types of negative energies. So it�s best to be more cautious,� Margaret explained, her cryptic message sending chills down Renee�s body.
She gulped, carefully responding. �So you mean some kind of evil spirit with high negative energy might be attached to me?�
�Hush hush! You shouldn�t say things like that! You�re a nice person, Miss Ren. It�s not like you offended or provoked anyone. So there�s no way you would encounter evil spirits!�
Margaret was very superstitious, quickly nagging her like how most elderly would. After that, she got busy preparing the scented bag as promised.
Renee looked towards the mirror at her dressing table, noticing her pale complexion. Briar Desrosiers, if you really are haunting me, I advise you to reincarnate soon, she thought as she clenched her fists.
�You couldn�t win against me while you were alive, so don�t assume you�d ever have a chance at death either!�
After having breakfast, Renee checked the time and noticed that she should be leaving soon. She then got up from her seat and turned to Quinton, Margaret, and the children. �You guys take your time, I have to head out for a bit.�
�It�s still so early in the morning. Where are you going?�
Quinton was reading the newspapers at the time, and as he lowered his hands, a sharp glare was revealed.
�I� I�m just going to tend to some work in the company. There�s going to be a lot of new projects coming in, so I figured I should head back to work after such a long vacation.�
�You�re my sister. As long as I�m here to provide for you, you can have a lifelong vacation if you want, please. Besides, it�s been quite dangerous lately, so I�d say you should rest a little longer before returning to your work.�
Quinton was considered the current head of the Everheart family, hence somehow taking up the father figure role. He couldn�t help but wish he could place Renee under lockdown forever just to ensure her safety.
After all, Beach City was currently in an ever-changing state. Moreover, he had made many enemies in the past and was very worried that his sister would be dragged into his mess.
�Oh, now you�re just being dramatic. I�m not a weakling! If anyone dares to try something on me, that just means they�ve got a death wish! Don�t worry!� Renee waved nonchalantly, then kissed Adie and Abby on their cheeks.
�Be good, you two, and listen to your uncle and Aunt Margaret. I�ll be back in a jiffy.�
�Alright, be careful, Mommy, and stay safe!� The little ones pecked her back on the cheek, not worried about their mother�s safety.
�Uncle may not have seen how great Mommy is, but we have! Many, many times! She can do anything!� They thought to themselves.
�Ah, Miss Ren, wait!� Margaret got up and caught up to her. �Take this medicinal pouch with you. I just feel like your nightmare is some kind of bad omen. Anything that might prevent it counts.�
�Relax, Margaret, I�m not scared of anything or anyone! I�m confident that I can take down any monsters or demons in my way!� Renee replied confidently as she tucked the pouch into her pocket. JrNovels.com
