She Outshines Them All

She Outshines 293

Farrah struggled desperately, but her body felt as soft and powerless as cotton, completely unable to move.

The lightning faded, and the bedroom fell into darkness.

Only the dim light from the streetlamp outside cast a faint shadow of a figure by the window.

However, Farrah could still confirm that the figure was Maggic.

Her slim figure, elegant white dress, and hairstyle were exactly the same as the night of Maggie’s accident. It left a deep impression on her.

“Y…you…” She looked at the figure in horror, her throat feeling as if it were blocked by something. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t say anything.

Lightning flashed again, illuminating the

Dedroom.

The figure slowly walked toward her.

She could see the figure’s face clearly. It was indeed Maggie.

Shock and fear made her shiver and her back was soaked with cold sweat.

She didn’t know if Maggie in front of her was a human or a ghost. If she was a human, it was truly strange. If she were a ghost, the figure felt strikingly real.

The lightning vanished again, leaving only a hazy figure in front of the bed.

Lightning flashed again, and Maggie smiled gently at her, raising a hand to touch her face while whispering something.

At the same time, Farrah wasn’t the only one who saw Maggie. Nicolas saw her too.

The moment the lightning flashed, he saw Maggie sitting by the bed with a faint smile. Her eyes looked hazy as she gazed at him and softly sang her favorite song from her life. “Sweet as honey, your smile is sweet as honey, like flowers blooming in the spring breeze, blooming in the spring breeze…”

Her gentle and melodious voice, along with the way she sang and carried herself, was exactly like the Maggie he remembered.

He widened his eyes, staring at her in disbelief, and said in a hoarse voice, “Who… who exactly are you?”

Maggie did not answer his question and continued to sing.

Lightning flashed again and again, flickering on and off.

Her face and figure appeared and disappeared, both real and unreal, yet her gentle singing never ceased.

Nicolas’s body was trembling.

He wanted to call for help and get up, but he found his body weak and powerless. His voice was so hoarse as if he had a severe cold, that it couldn’t carry beyond his lips.

This happened to Adele as well.

Every night before going to bed, she would drink a small cup of calming drink and then drift off to sleep.

She had been doing this for years.

Chanter 293.

But in the early hours of the anorning, she was startled awake by the sound of wind and rain, the knocking on the window. and the thunder. She opened her eyes in a daze and saw a figure standing by the bed.

Even though the figure was hazy, she instinctively called out, “Miss…”

As the lightning flashed, the figure became clearer, and with a gentle, familiar voice, said, “Adele, I miss you so much…”

Tears welled up in Adele’s eyes as she choked out, “Miss, I miss you too…”

The lightning faded, and Maggie’s figure became blurry once again.

In the darkness, Adele felt a cold hand grasping hers. The figure whispered something softly, causing tears to stream down her face.

The lightning took a long time to flash again. When it finally did, the space in front of her was empty. The figure was gone as if she had never been there at all.

“Miss Graham, where are you…” Adele reached out her aged hands, searching in the air, hoping to grasp the figure’s hand once more. But everywhere she looked, the figure had vanished like a fleeting illusion.

As the daylight brightened, Farrah opened her eyes in a daze and screamed as she suddenly remembered what happened last night.

The servants rushed in, asking, “Ma’am, what’s wrong?”

Farrah trembled as she replied, “A ghost! I saw Maggie last night! She was just standing by the window, smiling at me, saying something. You all need to find her! Hurry!”

She grew more and more agitated, nearly hysterical. “Someone must be playing tricks! You have to find her! If you can’t find her, check the surveillance footage! You must find her. I’m going to kill her!”

The servants looked at each other and felt that she was going crazy again.

However, they did not dare to have any objections. They quickly split up and searched carefully in the bedroom while watching the surveillance cameras.

No matter how big the bedroom was, it was still limited in space. They searched through all the corners where someone could hide but they found nothing, not even a suspicious footprint or handprint.

They also watched last night’s surveillance footage.

After Farrah closed the bedroom door, there was no one coming in or out of the door or the window until dawn.

“Impossible! That’s impossible! I saw it clearly!” Farrah screamed angrily. “That person walked from the window to my bedside and spoke to me a lot. I could smell the fragrance of her perfume. It was the magnolia scent she wore that night. You must be lying to me! Give me the surveillance footage; I’ll look at it myself…”

She fast–forwarded through the surveillance footage from last night and indeed found that no one entered her bedroom through the door or window.

“How could this happen?” she screamed in despair. “That was definitely not my imagination. I really saw it…”

The servants looked at each other.

Someone said in a low voice, “Mr. Nicolas said he also saw Mrs. Maggie last night, sitting by his bedside and singing to him. But the surveillance footage didn’t capture anyone entering his bedroom. We’ve seen all the surveillance from last night, and there were no suspicious persons anywhere in the entire house…

They believed that it was probably the anniversary of Maggie’s death that caused Nicolas and Farah to have hallucinations

and see her figure.

It’s just that they dared not say this out loud.

“What about Matthew?” Farrah said with red eyes. “He might be behind this. Where is he now? What did he do last night?”

The servant replied, “Mr. Matthew left with a bouquet and Miss Donovan just as dawn broke. They said they were going to visit Mrs. Maggie and then drop Miss Donovan off. The surveillance footageProperty © NôvelDrama.Org.
