Matthew looked up at the sky. "Yesseca, what do you think of the moon tonight?"
Yesseca raised her head and looked at the brightly lit moon in the sky.
It wasn't a full moon tonight.
"It's a crescent moon tonight," muttered Yesseca.
"The moon waxes and the moon wanes, like joy and sorrow." Matthew sighed. "No one can change that. If Lothar is dead, why would he suddenly appear now, only to drive you up the wall?"
Yesseca was stunned.
Her face was pale. "Matthew, is my brother really gone? Did I not see him?"
"Yes." Matthew looked straight into Yesseca's eyes. "Yesseca, you've had a nightmare."
Yesseca felt a wave of pain course through her whole body.
After a long period of silence, Yesseca finally gritted her teeth and said, "I understand."
"I'll get you a psychologist. You need help," Matthew added.
Yesseca didn't want help.
But the words wouldn't come out of her mouth.
She had really seen Lothar.
However, the reality was that Lothar was gone. It would be impossible for her to see him.
She must be wrong!
She must be having a mental breakdown.
She needed psychological help.
Yesseca nodded. "Thank you, Matthew."
Matthew got into the car.
The moment Selina saw him, she grabbed his hand and asked, "How is Yesseca?"
"She's fine." Matthew comforted her. "I've explained everything to her. She's aware that she was hallucinating. I'll send a psychologist to help her through it."
"No!" Selina suddenly shouted, "She isn't having hallucinations, she isn't!"
"Sweetie, what are you talking about?!"
Selina blurted out, "Matthew, why do you think that search dog acted like that? It must have been Lothar's ghost. It had to be!"
Matthew was getting anxious.
It looked like Selina had been badly affected as well.
His tone softened his tone, "Selina, there's no such thing as ghosts. Why would Lothar come back to scare you and Yesseca? You're overthinking things."
"It's not like that!" Selina shouted. "It must be because Lothar knows about Yesseca and that man. He doesn't want her to be with that man either. I heard what you said and hesitated, so I decided not to interfere anymore. Lothar came to remind me of my promise to him. He's blaming me for not taking care of Yesseca!"
"Sweetie, you're reading too much into this!"
"I'm not. That has to be it!" Selina grabbed Matthew's hand, "Matthew, that must be it. It must be. I was wrong. I was so wrong. I shouldn't have listened to you."
After that, she pushed Matthew aside and ran out of the car.
Selina raised his hands and shouted at the sky, "I promise you, I will definitely take good care of Yesseca. I won't waver. Even if Yesseca were to hate me for it, I'll make sure she marries the right man. You can rest easy in heaven. I will keep my promise."
Matthew felt a sharp pain in his head.
He knew that Selina felt very guilty for Lothar, so he didn't blame her for overreacting.
Everything that happened was just a coincidence, and Selina had a temporary lapse of judgement. Yesseca simply had a nightmare and dreamed of seeing Lothar...
Because she couldn't sleep the entire night and needed psychological help, Yesseca didn't go to work the next day.
She had forgotten to ask for leave as she was still rattled.
Her colleagues at the mall were gossiping about it.
