Chapter 1278
Mira suddenly waved her small paws around and gave Kane's face a vigorous rub.
Warm and soft, it was definitely the real Kane. Who had she seen just moments ago? Could it be a
ghost?
A little imp impersonating Kane?
Were there ghosts at Mossy Rock Retreat?
Kane caught her tiny paws, "Mira, what are you doing?"
Mira shivered, "Kane, I think I just saw a ghost."
Kane burst into laughter, "You must be seeing things. How could there be ghosts at Mossy Rock
Retreat?"
As he spoke, he saw Beverley walking over. She was bored of scrolling through videos and came to
play with the kids.
"Why is it so dark in here? Why'd you guys dim the lights like that?"
"Beverley, we're playing a scary game of hide and seek," Kane explained.
Beverley was immediately intrigued, "How scary?"
"You might see a ghost," Mira said with a trembling voice.
"That sounds like fun, count me in." Beverley loved thrilling games.
"William is hiding, and we need to find him," Kane said.
At that moment, Skyler and Nina, who had also been searching for William, came out of the room,
"Haven't you guys found William yet? Where could he be hiding?"
Mira huddled her shoulders and wrapped her arms around herself, "What if a ghost took him?"
Beverley ruffled her hair, "You've got quite the imagination, kiddo. Let's keep looking, and he's got to be
in some nook or cranny."
She took charge like a true leader, delegating search areas to everyone since several rooms remained
unchecked.
Skyler and Nina took Nova to the rooms on the left. Beverley headed to the rooms on the right, and
Mira, too scared to keep searching, decided to go downstairs for a snack.
After checking a room, Beverley moved to the storage closet, with Mira clutching the tail of her shirt.
"Where could that sneaky William be hiding?" Beverley muttered as she opened several large cabinets,
but they were all packed with stuff, no place for a kid to hide.
Near the window, the curtains swayed gently, as if concealing someone.
Beverley let out a chuckle, "Gotcha, you little rascal, hiding here all along."
She yanked the curtains open and found a child crouched with his back to the wall, his face unseen. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
She tapped his shoulder lightly, "William, I found you."
The child slowly turned his head, grinning at her, "Someone finally found me."
Beverley jerked back in shock. That wasn't William, and it was Kane? But Kane had gone to the left
rooms, hadn't he? She had seen him enter with her own eyes.
"Kane, what are you doing here?"
As she spoke, a voice called from the doorway, "Beverley, did you find William?"
She spun around to see a small figure standing in the doorway. It was Kane.
A shiver coursed down her spine, causing her skin to erupt in goosebumps.
"Kane, is that you?" she asked.
"It's me, Beverley, what's wrong?" the boy at the door asked. New chapter avаilable oո

Beverley swallowed hard, her throat tight with fear. This was too creepy. She bolted out, "Haven't you
guys found William yet?"
"No," Kane shook his head.
She raised her voice, "William, come out now, and we can't find you. You win."
