Hearing Raymond''s answer, Veronica frowned.


    Zoey used to live in an orphanage.


    When she thought of the orphanage, Veronica felt a splitting headache, as if something was going to burst her head.


    She tried her best to suppress these things. Only then did she feel better.


    Raymond was speeding. When his gaze fell on Veronica''s face, Veronica had already calmed down, as if nothing had happened. Raymond nced at Veronica. "Why did you suddenly ask about Zoey?"Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org.


    "Nothing," Veronica casually replied.


    She always felt that she should know Zoey. Zoey stayed in the orphanage before she was five years old.


    Veronica''s memory was also lost before she was five years old. Then before that... how did they know each other?


    However, Zoey seemed to regard Veronica as an enemy and probably would not tell her about the past.


    After returning to the Cordova Mansion, Veronica quickly cleaned up the vi and then returned to her room to read books and listen to rted videos.


    When it was past twelve in the evening, Veronica felt a little thirsty. She reached for the cup and wanted to drink some water. But the cup was empty, and there was no water left.


    Thinking that it was already past twelve o''clock and the people in the vi were asleep, she just put on a coat and came out of the room with a cup.


    After leaving her room, she headed straight for the pantry.


    The lights in the vi had been extinguished. The corridor was dark. Only the light board at the emergency exit was on.


    Veronica often fetched water at night and knew the route well. She did not turn on the lights and walked directly to the pantry.


    Since she was a little hungry, after pouring some water, Veronica turned to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator to see if there was food inside. She took out a cake and ate it while closing the refrigerator door with her elbow.


    Just as she was eating, a voice suddenly came from behind her.


    "Are you hungry?"


    In the quiet room, a voice suddenly sounded. Veronica cried out in rm and suddenly threw the te in her hand out.


    Raymond caught the te Veronica threw.


    He ced the te on the ss table next to him and looked at Veronica with interest. "You are so scared. What have you done?"


    Veronica swallowed the cake, took a deep breath, and red at Raymond angrily. "It''s sote at night. How can I not be scared when you suddenly appear and speak?"


    It was already past midnight. Veronica had heard that after midnight, there might be ghosts. How could she not be afraid?


    Raymond said, "Only when a person has something on his conscience will he be afraid of ghosts."


    "However, it is also said that when you mean to be frightening, you will frighten somebody to death!"


    After saying this, Veronica got choked. She wanted to drink some water, but she did not touch the cup behind her. When Raymond saw this, he raised his eyebrows and handed a cup of water to Veronica. Veronica hurriedly took the cup that Raymond handed over. She drank a mouthful of water andpletely swallowed the cake. Only then did she feel much better.


    Raymond smiled as he watched Veronica drink water.


    It seemed like he really scared Veronica just now.


    After drinking some water, Veronica red at Raymond and took another sip.


    Then, she subconsciously licked her lips.


    After drinking water, Veronica naturally picked up another piece of cake and ate it.


    Suddenly, she found that Raymond was staring straight at her face. She blinked and picked up a piece of cake, handing it to Raymond. "You must be hungry too!" Raymond nced at the cake that Veronica handed over and put on an evil smile.


    "Yes, I am hungry. The cake looks nice."
