Chapter 476
Vivian curled up in agony, her body trembling.
Mr. Wilson quickly entered the room, his expression stern as he tried to assess what had happened.
Anne followed close behind. She had been caring for Vivian since she was a child and regarded her almost like a
daughter.
"Miss, what's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?" she asked worriedly.
Vivian's face was pale with terror.
Mr. Wilson frowned deeply, observing her reaction.
Seeing him, Vivian forced herself to regain scomposure.
No matter what, Grandpa can't know about this.
"I'm fine, Grandpa. Just a bad dream," she muttered, wiping the cold sweat from her forehead.
Mr. Wilson eyed her suspiciously but didn't press further.
Later that night, the Wilson household settled into deep slumber.
Vivian, finally exhausted, drifted off into a heavy sleep. She had chosen to sleep near the window, and at some
point, she rolled over.
Tap. Tap. Tap.
A faint knocking cfrom the glass.
Even in deep sleep, her brows furrowed. The sound was too soft to fully wake her,
but it disturbed her enough to pull her toward consciousness.
Then she opened her eyes.
And what she saw made her blood run cold.

A shadowy figure drifted just outside the window.
Her scalp tingled with icy fear. Her breath caught in her throat.
That outfit-she recognized it instantly.
It was what Tina Mendes had been wearing the day she died.
A shriek tore from her throat.
"Anne!"
She scrambled, shaking the woman beside her. Ever since her last nightmare, she had insisted that Anne sleep
in her room, setting up a simple mattress by the bed.
Tears streamed down her face.
"Miss, what is it?!" Anne jolted awake and immediately reached for her, trying to soothe her.
"I saw her! | saw Tina!" Vivian sobbed uncontrollably.
At the name, Anne stiffened. A chill crept over her skin.
"Who... did you say?" she asked hesitantly.
"Tina Mendes," Vivian whispered, clutching the blanket like a lifeline. "It was her. She's cto kill me."
Anne instinctively shielded her. "Miss, there's nothing there. I'm right here. Don't be afraid."
"| swear | saw her! She was there!" Vivian's whole body shook with fear.
Anne held her firmly. "I know. I'll stay with you. You're not alone."
She sat by the bed, keeping a watchful eye on the window.
Vivian lay back down, but fear kept her eyes fixed on the window. She tossed and turned for over an hour before
exhaustion finally dragged her into a restless sleep.
Then-
Tap. Tap...
The faint noise returned.
Vivian's eyes snapped open.
Her bedroom window was covered by thick curtains, shielding her from the
outside world. But the moment she heard the sound, an uneasy feeling crept up her spine.
With trembling hands, she reached for the curtain and yanked it open.
And then-
Her breath caught in her throat.
A shadowy figure floated outside the window, drifting up and down as if suspended in midair.
Her vision blurred for a second, and the sheer terror made her head spin. She nearly blacked out.
"Anne! Look!" she shrieked, shaking the older woman awake.
But by the tAnne opened her eyes, the figure was gone.
Vivian had seen it clearly-it had been right there.
Anne rubbed her eyes, looking around in confusion. "Miss, there's nothing out there. You must have been
dreaming."
Still, she glanced nervously at the

Vivian curled up under the blankets, still trembling. But with Anne keeping watch, she eventually managed to
drift off again.
The next morning, Vivian was sluggish and drained.
Three consecutive nights without proper sleep had left her utterly exhausted.
She dragged herself through the workday, barely able to focus.
