Chapter 384
No one believed there was a ghost. But Judy's reaction was so real.
Derek glanced at Damian. Damian stepped forward knowingly, keeping a safe distance from Judy's bedside.
"Miss Judy, no matter what happened, you are absolutely safe now. Look, you are surrounded by your family. Think about what happened last night. Tell us, so we can help you.”
Robert held Judy's hand, "Judy, it's okay. It's all over. Don't be afraid. Just think about it. What happened last night?”
Judy's face was pale. Tears were all over her face as she tugged at Robert's arm.
"Ghost, uncle. I saw a ghost. It kept chasing me. I'm so scared. Uncle, I don't want to stay here. Let's go back."
Again, Robert's face darkened.
Damian raised his eyebrows, "Miss Judy, were you having a nightmare?"
It seemed that this was the only explanation, and Robert looked at his niece.
Seeing that no one believed her, Judy became even more agitated.
"No, I didn't dream. I really saw a ghost. I saw it with my own eyes. Believe me, I am not lying." Damian nodded, "We believe you, Miss Judy. Recall it, if you say you saw a ghost, when did you see it? Why did you faint on the stairs?"
Judy trembled and widened her eyes, "I, I slept on the bed last night. I slept well and was woken up. When I opened my eyes, I saw the ghost on the bedside. It just stared at me."
"It was floating and had no feet. I got up from the bed in fear and ran out. The ghost kept chasing me..."
Everyone: ".."
Derek said indifferently, "It seems that we should wait for the surveillance video to be transferred over."
The Horton Family nodded as well. For now, it seemed that was the only way.
At this time, the hotel manager came over. His expression was very strange: "Mr. Xavier."
"Did you see the surveillance footage? What did you see?" Derek asked.
"Well... Mr. Xavier, you should take a look for yourself. I really can't say it."
The hesitant look of the hotel manager made the Horton Family confused. Derek raised his eyebrows and looked at the USB drive in his hand, thinking.
Damian took the USB drive and played it directly on the TV in the ward. Everyone's sights converged.
As soon as there was a picture, it showed Judy in her room. At that moment, she was still sleeping soundly on the bed.
Easton pursed his lips and looked away, bored. He had seen this last night. He glanced at Judy on the bed, and groaned secretly.
Judy glanced over and suddenly gave a shriek with her eyes widened, which shocked everyone else. "All right, what's wrong with you?" Robert couldn't help but scold her.
In the picture, in the empty room, Judy who was on the bed woke up suddenly. She turned over and opened her eyes impatiently. It was unknown what she saw, but suddenly her face darkened and she screamed.
But there was still nothing in the picture.
Everyone watched Judy in the picture, who was screaming and falling out of bed, looking back from time to time with a scared expression, and running out of the room.
But no one saw anything behind her.
Out of the door, Judy was still screaming and running, as if there was really a ghost chasing after her. She ran to the staircase, accidentally rolled down, and fainted.
The video ended.
Everyone: ".."
In the quiet ward, Derek looked at the picture and slightly narrowed his eyes. It was unknown what he was thinking. But the Horton Family looked awful.
In their opinion, Judy was the only one in the picture and it looked as if she was cursed. She was fooling around on her own late at night.
Judy yelled again, her face turning white.
"That's right. That's it. That's what happened yesterday. Look, there's nothing on the monitor, right? But I really saw a ghost last night.”
"There's nothing in the picture. Ghosts can't appear in the picture. Only I saw it. I really saw it." Robert looked terrible. The surveillance footage made it impossible for him to blame the Xavier Group for turning her niece to this.
It seemed it was all her niece's problem.
"Enough, are you done?" He glared at Judy.
"Uncle, you don't believe me?"
Judy had an unbelievable look on her face. She was so frightened last night but her own family didn't believe her. It was a breakdown for her.
She became even more agitated. She glared at Robert angrily, scolding and yelling, which made the Horton Family look even more terrible.
Now, Derek no longer had to stay here
"Mr. Robert, I think Miss Judy is a little emotional, so I won't disturb her. As for the three-day competition, I think it's better to postpone it to a week later for Miss Judy to recover.”
"During this period of time, if you need anything, please feel free to tell us.”
What could Robert say? He couldn't say anything, and he had to thank him.
After all, Derek really didn't want to delay their plans or the competition.
After leaving the ward, Derek took his son and his assistant to the car and returned to the company. In the office, Derek took off his coat and sat down in the chair, "What do you think about Judy?" Damian thought for a moment, "Could it be that Miss Judy had some kind of hallucination in the middle of the night?"
After all, according to the surveillance footage, it was true that Judy woke up in the middle of the night. If she was not having a nightmare, then she might really have seen something scary since her expression was like that. It was really puzzling.
Easton, who was playing on the sofa, suddenly said, "Dad, if something happened to that woman, it wouldn't be better to cancel the competition directly. There is a reason now. Why should we postpone it?"
Derek and Damian both looked at him.
"You don't want this competition to be held?" Derek said.
"Dad, didn't you say that the woman's design skills are good and that mom might not win? In that case, the best way is not to compete.”
Easton was just hoping that Judy would not be able to participate in the competition because she was so scared, and get back to her country in a dejected manner. He didn't expect the result to be like this.
The little guy was very dissatisfied that he didn't reach his goal and it was his father who ruined it. Derek looked at him amusedly, "Your mom may lose, but there are still some chances that she will win. Didn't I tell you to have confidence in her?"
