Chapter 73 The Cursed Puppet

In a daze, Yolande walked into her room and closed the door, ready to take out her pajamas from the head of her bed and change. Just as she walked to her bed, her eyes fell on an object that suddenly appeared on her bed. The next second, she trembled all over, and her clear eyes were filled with horror.

In the middle of Yolande's bed, there was a wooden puppet, with silver needles all over it, with her name and age printed on it. Immediately, the whole room was filled with a sense of horror and gloom.

"Ahhh!"

Yolande was so frightened that her body was trembling. Austin who was about to go upstairs and Mona who had just stepped into her room heard Yolande's scream.

Upon hearing that, Austin hurried to the door. He opened it and saw the puppet on the bed. Mona, who rushed over, was shocked.

Yolande threw herself into Austin's arms out of instinct. Her body trembled more violently. Austin hugged her, caressed her head and comforted her in a low voice.

"It doesn't matter."

There was a strange smell in the air. He comforted Yolande and threw the doll on the ground. There was a bulge under the quilt. It seemed that there was something wrong with the quilt. He lifted the quilt and found a dead, bloody cat lay in the quilt. The cat was so badly mutilated that it seemed to have been crushed by the wheel.

Austin looked pale while Yolande and Mona were shocked. Squatting on the ground, Yolande trembled, as if she was in a bad dream.

Austin looked every part of her room to make sure there was nothing unusual. Then he asked the housekeeper to clean out the dead cat in her room.

He noticed that Yolande was in a bad state. She was frightened and trembling all the time, so it wouldn't be easy for her to recover. He was worried that she would have a nightmare when she was sleeping alone, so he proposed to let her sleep with him.

"Don't think too much. I'm just worried that you might have nightmares at night, so I spent the night with you."

Said Austin.

Yolande threw herself into his arms. Right now, she needed a warm hug.

"Well, it's okay. I will check by myself tomorrow."

Austin put his arm around Yolande's shoulder and took her into his room. Lying in his arms, Yolande closed her eyes, her tiny body trembling slightly. The blooding cat and the puppet with needles all over it made her shudder.

She didn't expect that the plots she had seen in the TV play would come to her life in such a gloomy and terrible scene. Yolande couldn't imagine what horrible things would happen in the future.

Austin held the anxious woman in his arms and felt more painful. He had planned to marry her under a deal so that he could protect her from being hurt. However, contrary to his wishes, Yolande was hurt by Sunny and Aron again and again. Austin felt very guilty.

In the middle of the night, Yolande finally fell asleep. Looking at the woman on the bed, fear crawled into her eyes. He really wanted to raise his hand to rub the horror from her eyes.

Austin hugged her the whole night without sleeping. He couldn't fall asleep at the thought of the puppet and the bloody cat and the fear in Yolande's eyes.

'Humph, Aron is such a despicable man. I've made up my mind to make them pay a heavy price, ' Austin thought.

Next morning

Austin called his secretary and claimed that he didn't go to the company today for something urgent. He asked the Secretary to keep an eye for him and report things to him.

It was already eight o'clock, but Yolande was still asleep. Austin told Mona not to wake her up and to let her sleep a little longer.

Mona prepared the breakfast and put it on the table. She noticed that Austin didn't look well, so she guessed that he might have a bad sleep last night.

"Young master, have your breakfast first. Did you take your medicine on time last night?"

Mona asked concernedly. Austin was absent-minded and didn't hear her.

Austin was a man who was powerful and fearless. But this time, when he saw the frightened expression on Yolande's face, he got nervous. After all, there were a lot of unexpected things that happened to Yolande.

Austin didn't have time to have breakfast now. He called in the servants of the Lin villa, the gardeners, the housekeepers, and the servants who were responsible for cleaning the rooms to confirm the information.

When he heard from Mona that a bloody mouse was found in Yolande's slippers, his face took on a ghastly expression.

"Mona, you should tell me about this."

Mona sighed helplessly.

"The lady stopped me from calling you. She said you were very busy and didn't want to bother you."

Austin sat down and took a sip of tea. He knew that Yolande was afraid of bothering him.

The servants and the housekeeper checked all over the villa, and made sure that there was nothing unusual. Austin ordered that someone must find out who put the dead cat and mouse in Yolande's bed and slippers. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

The most important thing was that this man was very familiar with the Lin villa. He knew which one are Yolande's slippers. Someone must be bought off.

When the morning sun shone into her eyes, Yolande got up and looked around. It was Austin's' room. She rubbed her eyes and remembered what had happened last night. Taking a deep breath, she lied down on the bed and curled up in bed.

The door creaked open and Austin walked in. The woman in bed wrapped herself in the quilt, leaving a bulging corner. She moved to and fro in the quilt. Austin knew that she was awake.

"Are you awake?"

He put his hands in his pockets and looked at the woman in the quilt tenderly.

A strange feeling consumed Yolande. Her eyes were sour and she almost cried.

"Yes."

"Why didn't you allow Mona to call me when you found the mouse?"

Austin blamed her. In fact, he felt sorry for her. She only wanted to spare him the trouble, but she didn't care about her own life. He was angry and worried. He didn't know what to say.

Hearing the man's blame, Yolande curled her lips and felt very aggrieved.

"I, You are too busy. I don't want to trouble you. I have already... "

Her voice was getting lower and lower, and she stopped talking. Austin was angry but didn't know what to do with the woman opposite him. This woman was so imaginative.

Yolande stood up from her bed and stared at him, her eyes filled with grievance.

"Humph!"

The man walked over and put his arm around the woman's shoulder, letting her head rest on his chest.

"Did you sleep well? Don't hide anything from me. I'll share the responsibility with you. "

His strong and warm chest gave Yolande a sense of security. Her eyes seemed to be covered with tears. The scene last night still haunted in her mind. She wanted to become stronger. After all, her revenge was just beginning.
