My Second Husband novel Chapter 136

Eudora George thought of the shocking case that Felix Meyer had mentioned. Hence instead of going home, she went straight to the library.

If it really was a shocking case, there must be records of it in the library.

With Felix's age as a benchmark, Eudora searched for the newspapers which were published around that time.

Very quickly, she found that one, it was an old case...

The picture of the basement made Eudora inexplicably scared.

It was as if the photograph had overlapped with the dark environment that she had dreamt of many times, and she didn't dare to look at it anymore. She hurriedly turned her head and began to read the report carefully.

The report said that the case happened in another country.

Before the case happened, a lady had reported to the police that her child had gone missing. The police began their investigation on the case.

Later, with the lady's perseverance and help, the local police found a dark basement located in an abandoned factory.

The police took immediate action. In the end, they successfully rescued more than 30 kids who were locked up inside. One of them accidentally died during the escape.

When she reached the last sentence, Eudora's breathing suddenly became rapid.

Her mind was in a mess. She found herself no longer in a library, but in a dark basement. Suddenly, she heard the sound of a whip cracking.

It all seemed so real and dizzy that she couldn't help but hug her head and lay prone on the table.

Seeing this, the staff in the library hurriedly came forward. "Miss, Miss? Are you all right?"

Only then did Eudora wake up and shook her head. She walked out of the library in a daze.

That evening, Eudora had another nightmare.

From time to time, the sound of a girl crying could be heard in the dark room. She was also among the crowd.

Suddenly, the iron door creaked open, and a woman wearing a mask came in. Everyone started to tremble at the sight of her.

The woman approached Eudora slowly. She walked up to her and lifted her chin with the whip in her hand.

Eudora's whole body shivered The next second, she opened her eyes and found herself drenched in cold sweat.

Amos Granger, who was sleeping beside her, seemed to sense her fear. He reached out and held her in his arms.

Eudora thought he had woken up, but he quickly fell back asleep after hugging her. She breathed a sigh of relief.

The man's presence gave her a sense of security, and soon she closed her eyes and fell asleep again.

The next day, when Eudora woke up in the morning, Amos was still lying on the bed. He was still in that same position and his strong arms were still holding her.

Eudora moved, and he woke up.

The two of them looked into each other's eyes. He frowned. "Did you have a nightmare last night?"

Eudora was surprised. She thought that he wouldn't know.

"It's nothing, I've forgotten about it."

Amos nodded and asked, "Auntie Valerie said you've been out for the past two days. Do you need help with anything?"

"I..." The words were at the tip of tumbling out of her mouth, but Eudora swallowed them in time.

"It's okay, I'm just at the library for some research."

Hearing that, Amos didn't ask any further.

Eudora had spent all her time on the Internet investigating the case in the morning. However, except for the reports on the news, she got nothing else.

In the afternoon, Eudora saw another message.
