Revenge After Death

Chapter 771

The feeling of suffocation grew heavier. I felt that I was about to die soon.

"Stephie!" Suddenly, it was as if I could hear Steven's voice.

An inexplicable force pushed my consciousness back into the water. I then emerged, sitting up as I gasped for air.

When someone was on the brink of death, they often experienced something magical yet indescribable—be it hallucination or something real.

I trembled as I looked around, feeling that inexplicable force.

He was here. I knew he had always been here.

"Steven," I softly called out for him as I hugged myself slowly.

It was as if he was also hugging me. I was sure that he was doing that now.

"Stephanie!" Joel was pounding on the door outside, while Rachel joined in nervously as she urged for someone to break it down.

I stepped out of the bathroom while toweling my hair dry. I tried to play it cool as I saw the panicked expressions on everyone's face.

"I'm glad that you're alright. I was so worried!" Rachel was teary eyed as she continued, "I thought you were about to do something dangerous."

She was worried I might do something rash, while the two kids were also concerned I might commit suicide. I calmly smiled and said, "I wouldn't."

Rachel nervously glanced at Zion, as he, too, looked at Eason. It was evident that they felt that something was wrong with me.

They seemed to be hesitant, wanting to say something but ended up not.

I felt rather irritated, as if every sound around me was amplified they all felt too noisy.

The chirpings of insects outside, the white noise from various home appliances-those sounds that others couldn't hear felt overwhelmingly loud to me.

"Do you want to rest up, Stephie? I'll stay back with you." Rachel nervously stepped forward to comfort me.

The glass cup slipped from my hand and shattered. I frowned, my gaze turning sharp at that very moment. "Leave!

I almost couldn't control my emotions.

Rachel was startled by me, her breath quickening as she backed away in a hurry, only to be pulled into Zion's embrace. He frowned and looked at me warily.Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

I looked down at the shattered glass on the floor. My head felt as if it was about to split open.

"I'm sorry," I apologized subconsciously.

I did not know why I was apologizing. They were so noisy, and I wanted them to all leave. "You guys should leave for now. I just need some time alone."

Zion pulled Rachel and said, "Let's just go back for now. We should give Stephie some space."

Eason nodded and looked at Joel. "You..."

"Just go back for now." Joel calmly ruffled Ashton's and Xan's hair. "Please take care of the two kids."

Eason's eyes were red as he looked at Joel. "Can he come back just like you did?"

Joel glanced at me. "Perhaps."

I lowered my head as I picked up the glass shards, ignoring the way my blood was trickling as they cut me.

I could feel the actual pain.

My emotions were rich to the point of scaring myself after my soul went through the so-called reincarnation twice. Steven was truly impressive. He was just too smart for his own good.
