Chapter 124: I Hit Her
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Amelia held a branch and drew on the ground. “Master said that I’ll be going to a very, very far place and can’t come back.”
William was speechless. In other words, if she could not fill the gourd, Amelia might die? He did not speak for a long time before asking with difficulty, “Are there any more ghosts like the one just now?” If there were, they had to quickly catch them. He definitely did not ask Amelia to quickly catch the ghosts because she said that she would die if she could not fill the gourd. It was just that… Well, he had only calculated the results and wanted to see if his calculations were correct.
Suddenly, Elmer approached William. “By the way, how did you see me?
William was shocked. Just as he was about to speak, he realized that the figure of the white-robed man in front of him was slowly fading and quickly disappearing. He was dumbfounded. He looked around and asked in a low voice, “Mia, is that white-robed man your master? Has he left?”
Amelia looked up. “No, Master is beside you.”
William immediately felt a chill on his neck, as if someone had placed a hand on his neck. He did not dare to move. Damn it, he might as well have seen it! At this moment, Amelia asked again, “Brother, Master asked me to ask you, have you seen anything unclean before?
William’s body stiffened. “No.”
Elmer rubbed his chin. “That’s strange. Why did you suddenly see me and then not see me again? That’s strange.” He had been a ghost for hundreds of years, but he had never seen an example like William. Ordinary people could only see ghosts unless they were interfered by external objects. For example, applying cow tears on their eyelids or finding a Daoist priest to draw talismans to open their heavenly eyes. However, William had no use for these things. He had suddenly seen them.
“Strange, strange, too strange…” Elmer muttered as he flipped through the booklet.
At this moment, George appeared with a few teachers and the principal. Behind him were Lucas, Oliver, Howard) his father, Victor, and Evelyn’s mother. They immediately saw Evelyn lying unconscious on the ground. Then, they looked at Amelia and William. They were also squatting on the ground. What were they doing? The few of them leaned closer to take a look. Were they doing math questions on the ground?
“Mia!” George quickly walked forward and looked at Amelia. “Are you alright?”
Amelia shook her head. “I’m fine.”
Behind him, the French teacher crossed her arms and chattered, “I already said that I don’t know. It has nothing to do with me. Look, Amelia hid here herself. She can’t blame anyone else.”
The situation was like this. After school, the students went to line up at the school gate, but the homeroom teacher realized that William, Amelia, and Evelyn were gone. That was why she called George and the others to look for them.
Evelyn’s mother hurriedly went forward and picked her up. ‘Eve?” Evelyn’s body was covered in mud, and her hair was a mess. She almost didn’t recognize her! At this moment, Evelyn slowly woke up and cried, “It hurts, it hurts!”
Only then did Evelyn’s mother realize that Evelyn’s body was covered in wounds. Her arms and legs were all bruised, her cheeks were red and swollen, and one of her front teeth had fallen off. It was so ugly that she could not bear to look at it!
“What’s going on!” Evelyn’s mother wanted to flare up, but when she saw George beside her, she could only suppress her anger. This was the Walton family, not someone she could throw a tantrum at. Thinking about this, Evelyn’s mother changed her words and said, “Did our Eve do something wrong?
Evelyn only felt aggrieved. What did she do wrong? What could she do wrong? She didn’t even know what had happened before she appeared in the small forest and was beaten up so badly! Why couldn’t her mother be like Amelia’s Eldest Uncle and ask how she was right away? They should care for her and protect her immediately!
Thinking of this, Evelyn cried even harder.
George looked at William and asked, “What happened?”
Amelia lowered her head like a child who had done something wrong. Just as she was about to speak, William said coldly, “I did it.”
Evelyn’s mother was stunned. “Why?”
William put his hands in his pockets and snorted. “She provoked my sister and reported her for passing notes in class. After class, she even asked my sister to come to the forest. I don’t know what she wanted to do. What’s wrong with me hitting her?”
William first said something that everyone knew, then he said something ambiguous to avoid suspicion. However, he took the main point of the conflict on himself.
Evelyn’s mother said anxiously, “Even so, you shouldn’t beat her up like this!”
William snorted. “I thought it was too light..”
