Love Is a Sweet Addiction

If this scene didn’t appear in her dreams, she couldn’t be so curious. If the woman she dreamed of back then wasn’t the one in the portrait of Terence’s study, she couldn’t be so curious either…

Everything was unusual. If she didn’t figure out what was going on, she wouldn’t feel at ease!

They chose a relatively spacious grassland to camp on. Trees and grass were in the surroundings. But it wasn’t easy for someone to hide, as there weren’t big trees.

Her feet rustled on the dewy grass, making her more nervous.

If her eyes hadn’t deceived her just now, that woman might be a ghost, or that woman couldn’t have disappeared in a few seconds. But when she took the courage to search the surroundings with the flashlight, she found no one.

Did she run into a ghost just now? Otherwise, how could…

Thinking of this, she hurriedly turned around and ran into the tent, lying between Serena and Linsay, not daring to move and curled up like a ball.

Being frightened by this, she lost her sleepiness. She could only close her eyes and hypnotize herself in her heart over and over again, hoping to fall asleep.

She didn’t know how long it had been. She finally fell asleep.

At dawn the next day, they were woken up by the men who were doing vocal exercises in the direction of the canyon.

Serena unzipped the tent, grabbed a piece of wood, and smashed it at Reid, who was training his voice, “Reid, shut up! It’s so noisy!”

Reid was hit in the butt. He screamed out of pain and stopped practicing.

Esther sat up with a pair of sleep-clogged eyes, feeling as if everything was in a dream.

Everything from last night came to mind. The strange white-clothed woman, the terrifying hatred in her eyes, and the woman’s disappearing out of thin air all of a sudden…

She shivered, then got out of the tent and looked around.

That was right. The surroundings were empty. It was impossible to hide someone. If that woman existed, she couldn’t conceal herself at a fast speed.

“Esther, what’s wrong? Why is your face pale?” Reid looked at Esther and asked.

Esther grabbed his arm and looked around. “Last night … did you see anyone outside the tent?” She asked.

“Really? You actually saw me pee?” Reid covered his private part and looked shy, “Esther, what did you see?”

Esther didn’t have the mood to joke with him. She shook her head and said, “I’m not talking about you. I’m talking about a woman with long hair and a white skirt.”

“Long-haired female ghost? Esther, you’ve seen many horror movies, haven’t you?” Serena rolled her eyes and spoke.

“I … I saw it.”Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

“Then why didn’t you lure her into my tent? I like women with long hair the most.” Reid was joking.

The others also laughed and teased, “Yeah, you should have told Reid about the female ghost, so that he wouldn’t pester Serena all day long.”

“Fuck, between the female ghost and Serena, of course, I will choose Serena, although I have never met a female ghost.”

After Reid finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter.

Seeing that they didn’t believe her words, Esther shouted, “Everyone, be quiet! I’m telling the truth!”

They all were shocked by her sudden roar, and instinctively stopped playing and looked at her.

“Esther, are you alright?” Serena asked with concern when she saw that Esther was anxious.

“I’m sorry, I…” Esther said guiltily, “What I said is true. Last night, I saw a very strange woman. She had long hair, with hair covering half of her face, and she wore a very long white skirt. I wanted to see who she was, but she disappeared when I was looking for the flashlight.”

Speaking of last night’s situation, she couldn’t help but be afraid and nervous.

Seeing her expression, everyone finally realized that she wasn’t joking. But they still didn’t believe what she had described.

“Esther, did you have a nightmare?” Someone asked.

Esther shook her head, “No, absolutely not. I even looked for her in the surroundings. But I didn’t find her.”

“That must be an illusion.” Another companion said. “Probably, you’re timid for your first time camping outside, and you tend to think more about what you’re afraid of, and then hallucinate. It’s a normal psychological phenomenon. There’s nothing strange about it.”

Serena nodded in agreement, “Yes, she was a psychology major graduate. She must be right. You may be hallucinating because you’re afraid.”

Esther was speechless. Did she hallucinate last night?

But she was never a coward. Although it was her first time camping, she wasn’t afraid at all. On the contrary, Linsay was less courageous than her. She kept shouting that she didn’t dare to sleep.

However, other than that, there seemed to be no better explanation. She couldn’t believe that she saw a ghost.

Back then, she dreamed of that woman because she saw her portrait once. It didn’t seem strange that she had hallucinations this time. After comforting herself in her heart, she raised her head and smiled at everyone, “Yeah, maybe.”

“Can I say something?” A girl who was silent all this time spoke up.

They all looked at her in unison. It was the girl with long straight hair, the girlfriend of a good friend of Serena. Compared to the relaxation on everyone’s faces, she had an expression full of nervousness and fear.

Seeing that all the people were looking at her, she leaned towards her boyfriend embarrassedly and said, “Actually, I didn’t want to come here at first. He asked me what I was frightened of. I didn’t have the nerve to say it at that time, because I was afraid that he would laugh at me for being superstitious.”

“Pretty, could you please tell us the main point?” Reid urged impatiently.

“The point is …” The girl paused for a moment before continuing, “I once heard a colleague say that this place is haunted.”

“What?” They all were shocked again.

Esther, who finally calmed herself down with great difficulty, looked at the girl in surprise, and the fear in her heart was stirred up again.

The girl cleared her throat and said, “Perhaps you don’t know that this land belongs to the Anetly Group. The Anetly Group recently launched a tender to sell the land. It is because they are worried that the rumors of haunting will become more and more serious, causing it to be unable to be sold. In that case, no one will be interested in their project.”

“Really?” Someone asked curiously.
