Chapter 24


    ‘What? One hundred bucks a month for an apartment like this? That’s unbelievable.’


    The man looked dumbfounded. However, the apartment didn’t belong to him, so he couldn’t finalize the


    rent.


    “Mrs. Lester, I’m actually surprised to hear your offer. However, this house isn’t mine. I need to check it


    with thendlord of the house.”


    He walked out of the room with his phone on the pretext of making a phone call. Taking the opportunity,


    he winked at Ethan to ask for his opinion. Ethan understood his gesture and agreed without hesitation.


    J was a little nervous. After all, she knew her offer was definitely uneptable.


    A few minutester, the realtor returned with a smile.


    “Thendlord has agreed.”


    J’s mouth popped open in shock. She tried shing the price but didn’t think thendlord would


    actually agree.


    She blinked at Ethan.


    Ethan coughed and walked up to her. “What’s wrong?”


    “I don’t think this is an ordinary haunted house. I think something extremely terrible must have


    happened here before. Otherwise, why would thendlord agree to rent it at only a hundred dors?”


    Her hot breath blowing in his ear seemed to distract Ethan. After a moment’s hesitation, he blinked and


    asked, “Do you want to find another house?”


    “No. We are lucky to have found such an affordable house. I won’t let go of it.”


    “Aren’t you afraid it might be a haunted house?”


    “Nope. The rent is unbelievable. Even if there are ghosts in the house, I don’t mind inviting them for


    dinner,” J said intently.


    Ethan had never seen anyone willing to move into a haunted house just because the rent was cheap.


    He narrowed his eye and pinched J’s cheek. “Wow! You’re brave.”


    He gulped, surprised by the softness of her cheeks.


    “Ethan, it hurts!” J’s face turned red. She stood on tiptoe to grab his face. However, Ethan towered


    before her, so he quickly stepped back. J couldn’t even touch his chin.


    “Let me go! Ethan! I’m angry.”


    “Don’t move. There is still dust on your face. I’m just wiping it for you.” The smile on his face widened


    as he looked at her.


    ‘How could she be so cute?’ he thought.


    J and Ethan moved into the apartment the next day.


    It was more convenient for her to go to work.


    She could save all hermuting time.


    In her spare time, J epted frencing design gigs to earn extra money.


    During weekends, she went to the hospital to see Hannah.


    “Hannah, I have nned to transfer you to a better hospital for treatment. The hospitals in the city are


    more advanced than this one. It would also be convenient for me to meet you often,” she said while


    peeling an apple.


    Hannah had raised J. The old woman was all she had.


    “The hospitals there will be too expensive. I’m fine here.” Hannah shook her head.

    Her hair had already turned white. Hannah was only in her sixties, yet she looked older because of her


    illness.


    Hannah knew that J lived a hard life even though she never openly discussed her problems.


    “I’ve found a new job. I can handle it. Don’t worry about me.” J smiled and handed the teful of


    apple slices to Hannah. “Eat the apple.”


    She knew the medical expenses would double if Hannah moved to a better hospital in the city. J


    didn’t have enough money at present but hoped to earn better in the future.
