Renee looked in the same direction and saw the doors. Heart pounding, she moved closer to Stefan. "What... What's in there?"
"What do you think?" Stefan calmly replied.
We're at the hospital, and this is the basement, so I guess... it should be the morgue." Renee swallowed, getting goosebumps on her skin.
"Yeah, this should be the morgue." Stefan smirked at her. "Do you want to check it out?"
'The morgue?" Renee cleared her throat and pretended to be calm. "Well, I don't mind since I'm pretty fearless, but you're delicate. You've never experienced hardships before. What if you see a corpse and faint?"
"It's just a dead body... I think I can handle it," Stelan scoffed.
"Maybe corpses are okay, but if this place used to be a hospital, then I'm sure there are a lot of unhappy spirits and ghosts here. If we bump into them, it'll be unlucky."

"I'm okay with that but..." While walking toward the doors, Stefan sald teasingly, "I heard that ghosts love standing behind people!
"Shut up!" Like any other woman, Renee got spooked by such things. She hurriedly walked forward and brushed past Stefan. 'Fine, you bring up the rear then!"
"Don't be scared. I'll always be by your side whether I'm walking in front of or behind you. Stefan murmured, then gripped Renee's hand and pulled her into a tight embrace. He said cheekily, "See? Now you're protected from all angles.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
"How dare you.." Renee trailed off. She knew he didn't have bad intentions; he was just trying to make her feel safe. If she remembered correctly, Leia and Xavier had done the same thing earlier. This was why youngsters were willing to spend money to get frightened-it was a good way to strengthen relationships.
"Cut the crap, and let's go!" Renee took a deep breath and huffed impatiently.
They slowly approached the doors. Stefan shielded Renee and swiftly opened them...
