I Walked Away And He Lost His Mind (Zephyra and Steven) novel Chapter 480

"By the time they handle it, something would have already happened to you. Why risk your own safety just to spite me?" His features were handsome and cold, his tone perfectly even. "And it's not just people. Ghosts are most active at this hour too. The last woman who took this elevator, before she died, she kept looking out of it, paranoid and scared. Back and forth, her face filled with panic. Do you know where they found her body? In the water tank on the roof."

"No signs of foul play, it wasn't a homicide. That water tank is high up and sealed. It would have been hard for her to even climb it, let alone climb up, fall in, and then seal the lid behind her. The only possibility is..."

"Steven!" I yelped, a shiver running down my spine. My back went cold. I'm not particularly brave. At night, I only walk in crowded, well-lit places. I'm afraid of bad people, and even more afraid of ghosts. Besides, I myself was reborn. You don't have to believe in the supernatural, but you can't deny it entirely.

That bastard Steven, how could he tell me something like that? I couldn't handle it.

Steven hummed softly. "Scared?"

I bit my lip hard and glared at him.

He chuckled lowly and ruffled my hair.

"Brush your teeth. Time for bed."

…

In the end, I stayed. After washing up and getting into bed, the goosebumps finally started to subside. But my mind was a chaotic slideshow of every crime show and ghost story I could think of.

It was all Steven's fault. I was genuinely scared and didn't dare turn off the light by my bed.

I tried to distract myself, thinking about Rachel and Horace. Regardless of whether Steven was behind Rachel's situation, I had temporarily solved it. Horace would be out tomorrow. I had to go pick him up and get him out of here immediately.

As soon as I got my competition results, I would go straight back to Mr. Taylor's side and avoid Steven at all costs. I just didn't know how to handle the negative press about Horace online. Being targeted by an online mob must be awful...

But, was I forgetting something? Oh, right. I forgot to ask Gordon about Steven. The bastard seemed like he was reborn, but also not. It was hard to tell...

But if he really was reborn, why wouldn't he show it? What was he afraid of?
