Yena's face went pale, frozen in fear, unable to move.
The female ghost in the red veil slowly approached her placing her hands on Yena's shoulders.
A chilling sensation ran through Yena's body, making it difficult for her to breathe.
Is this the end? Am I going to die?
Tears welled up in Yena's frightened eyes.
"Look, see?" the female ghost whispered, gripping Yena's hand and pressing it against the mirror.
Unconsciously, Yena followed the ghost's guidance.
In the mirror, a man dressed in black was anxiously searching for a child, and the child's face in the photo was none other than Yena's!
"Uncle Anthony is looking for me...?" Yena's voice sounded confused, her expression blank.
"Yes..." replied the woman behind her.
The image in the mirror continued to play, with the man searching with the photo in hand. "This is my niece... she's very important to me. I need all of you to find her for me!"
All the bodyguards were dispatched to search for her...
Yena stared vacantly for a while, her eyes gradually losing focus.
At that moment, someone switched her photo with Lilly's, and one of the bodyguards brought Lilly to Crawford Mansion.
The reflection of Lilly in the mirror displayed a contemptuous and arrogant smile, provoking a surge of anger within Yena!
Her uncle was searching for her, and Lilly shamelessly stole her place!
With a surge of rage, the mirror suddenly darkened. After a while, the Crawford Mansion appeared once again before Yena's eyes.
The massive and unsightly stone in front of the main building vanished, replaced by sunflowers, her favorite flowers blooming proudly by the entrance.
Yena stood there, captivated by the enchanting scene unfolding before her eyes. There was a little girl in the mirror, wearing a pink princess dress and clutching a bouquet, walking towards the mansion on the cobblestone road. The maids and bodyguards lining the sides bowed respectfully, greeting her warmly, "Hello, Miss Yena!"
Yena's eyes widened in disbelief. The little girl in the mirror was herself?!
The mirrored Yena entered the manor, where Bettany welcomed her, "Yena you're home, are you hungry? I'll make something for you."
Bettany, who had treated her with disdain earlier, now embraced her tenderly and instructed the Crawford family servants to bring in a feast. Servants streamed in from outside, filling the long dining table with a plethora of dishes.
"I don't know what you like to eat so, I prepared all of them for you," Bettany said, taking Yena's hand and leading her to the dining room.
"You can eat whatever you want, and we'll throw them away if you can't finish them!" she added.
The mirrored Yena nodded obediently and replied, "Grandma, it's not good to waste. Let's give it to the beggars and the cleaners."
Bettany immediately praised her, "You're so kind, Yena!"
At that moment, a tall, handsome man dressed in a knight's uniform descended the stairs. It was Blake, her uncle.
"Uncle Blake!" Yena exclaimed joyfully.
Her uncle scooped her up and said, "Yena, let's eat quickly. After you're full, I'll take you to the amusement park!"
In the blink of an eye, the scene shifted, and they found themselves in the amusement park.
"I built this amusement park for you. Do you like it?" Blake gently caressed her head. "It's your very own amusement park. You can invite anyone you want to play with."
The little girl in the mirror brimmed with happiness. As she stepped into the amusement park, she beheld the dazzling lights of the carousel and the dreamlike Ferris wheel...
Everything belonged to her!
Not only did Blake play with her, but the amusement park resounded with their laughter...
She was adored by everyone, like a cherished little princess who captured the hearts of the world. She was showered with compliments at school and all of them were eager to befriend her.
Her older sister no longer bullied her. Instead, she spent her days doing household chores and humbly addressing her as "Miss Yena" whenever they cross paths.
Yena stood entranced in front of the mirror, completely forgetting about the female ghost lurking behind her.
The female ghost's fingers gradually extended, piercing into Yena's neck...
