Chapter 1775

Huffing, Jeffrey went back to his house. "She's just in love and angered by some jerk. She'll come backaround in a few days and everything will be back to normal again." Then, ignoring everything that Daisyhad said, he closed the door firmly.

After a while, Ava came back. "Jeffrey, where's Ren? Did you cook her nice food and spend some timewith her?" Ava had been concerned about Renee. After putting away the fishing net, she hurried hometo welcome her family's benefactor.

"I cooked her some food, and she's resting now. Mom, don't disturb her." Jeffrey hurriedly stopped Avajust as she was about to go upstairs.

"Oh, she's resting..." Ava heaved a sigh. "She must be upset over something since she went to thebeach alone in the middle of the night. She even locked herself up in broad daylight, and doesn't lookenergetic at all. How pitiful!"

Jeffrey's doubts grew when he heard that. Renee went out at night instead of the day, and looked frailand distant... It really did seem like an evil spirit had possessed her. Jeffrey wondered if Daisy wasright.

"Mom, have you heard about the legend of the sea witch?" Jeffrey asked Ava.

"Of course!" Ava rolled up her sleeves and said, “It happened in the village next to our neighboringvillage many years ago. It was horrible... I heard that there was a couple who kindly adopted a boy, butthat boy did terrible things to that couple’s daughter. At last, the boy went mad and killed his entirefamily, then left with that girl. Some people said that the girl had been bewitched by the sea witch toseduce her biological brother and the adopted boy, and the two boys then tried to harm each other...Oh, it really was a tragedy!" 1

Unexpectedly, Renee happened to hear that as she was heading downstairs. To her surprise, itsounded like her brother's story. A fisherman's family had adopted her brother, but they had mistreatedhim. Besides, the son of that family was cruel, and tried to take advantage of his sister. Quinton hadwanted to save Joanne, the fisherman's daughter, but the story became more twisted as people talkedabout it.

"Mom, to be honest, I'm a little worried. Is Renee affected by something bad? She looks so emotionlessand frail these days," Jeffrey said worriedly.

"That can't be." Although Ava didn't believe it, she was still worried. She looked upstairs and happenedto meet Renee's gaze, which terrified her.
