CHAPTER 1478: CHAPTER 1478 EXTREMELY FRIGHTENING

This area of the office is very quiet, so quiet that even a pin drop seems like it would be heard.

It’s also because it’s peak duty hours right now, so there aren’t many people around, and this silence frightens Olivia Thompson greatly.

Her steps, which were initially moving forward, now falter.

"Second brother? Second brother, where are you?"

Olivia calls out a few more times, but no one responds, making her voice trail off until it’s completely gone...

She purses her lips in frustration and turns to go back to Vincent’s office, but finds herself lost and unable to find her way back to Vincent’s office.

In an instant, fear grips Olivia’s heart; the empty corridor feels like a large mouth about to swallow her whole.

Her small body trembles lightly, and her eyes are rimmed with red.

"Second brother... please don’t scare me anymore, okay? Where are you? Annie can’t find the way back, Annie is scared..."

Olivia’s voice becomes choked with sobs. She sniffs, trying to hold back the tears in her eyes, but such efforts are futile for her now.

She takes cautious, tentative steps forward, looking at the signs above the rooms, but they are written in words she doesn’t recognize.

"It’s okay, Annie, don’t be afraid. You’ll definitely meet someone in the hospital, and they’ll take you back."

Olivia clenches her fists and gently encourages herself, murmuring softly. Perhaps having grown accustomed to such quiet, the fear in her heart diminishes slightly, allowing her mind to clear.

After thinking carefully for a while, Olivia recalls what Charlotte Thompson had once told them.

"Stairs... find the stairs to the first floor, there will definitely be people there."

Olivia mutters to herself, then begins searching for the stairs. Although the surrounding area is marked with various clinics and offices in words she doesn’t know, she recognizes the emergency exit sign near the stairwell.

When she sees the green sign not far away, Olivia’s eyes light up, and she can’t help but quicken her pace.

"Found it!"

Olivia lets out a sigh of relief and pushes open the safety door in front of her with force. Seeing the stairwell in front of her eases her mind.

"Truly, crying solves nothing."

Olivia comforts herself by patting her chest, then starts down the stairs, intending to go down floor by floor.

However, before she makes it a few steps, she hears voices coming from not far away.

Hearing voices, Olivia feels relieved and eagerly quickens her steps.

Perhaps she can ask this person for help.

The further Olivia descends, the clearer the voices become.

"...Is everything ready?"

Olivia stops at the turn of the stairs and, through the gap in the railing, sees two people talking in the stairwell.

One of them is Vincent.

Suddenly seeing someone familiar, Olivia’s face lights up with joy, just as she’s about to go downstairs to find Vincent...

The next second, Olivia halts all her actions.

Because she sees that the always gentle and urbane Uncle Vincent is wearing an incredibly frightening expression.

Although Vincent’s face carries a smile, Olivia can clearly see the coldness and eeriness in his eyes.
