“Max, did you just hear something?” Jessica’s voice was soft yet somewhat scary like a ghost. Her voice seemed to trigger the deepest fear in Max’s heart, making him pale, start sweating, and even almost made him faint.
He just shook his head.
Jessica raised his hand and touched him on the head, and said, “Very good, good boy. You didn’t hear anything just now. If you tell your dad the real cause of your sickness. I had be mad. If you make me angry, you know what I will do to you.”
She ran her hand over Max’s head, causing him to shudder in horror. He was so shocked that tears almost fell from his eyes, and at that moment, it was as if he remembered something that had happened a long time ago. His eyes widened, and he opened his mouth several times but couldn’t make a sound.
