Chapter 208 It Hit Its Wife, I Protected 

Although this person seemed not to be drunk, I always felt that he was somewhat dizzy. 

Seeing me speak like this, he didn’t say much either. He looked at me, nodded, and hummed in agreement. 

I got off the car and headed straight to the pastry shop. I had never seen him eat any desserts before, and I didn’t know what he liked, so I simply chose a few pastries according to my own taste. When I came out, I saw a 24-hour convenience store nearby. Thinking that yogurt could help with hangovers, I went in and bought a few cups of yogurt and some bottled water. 

It only took seven or eight minutes back and forth. When I returned and was ready to get in the car, I saw that the passenger seat was already empty. I looked around and there was no sign of a man in the back seat. The pedestrians around were in a hurry, either couples in love or groups of friends. There was no sound of Walter. 

I initially thought he probably wanted to eat something and had gotten off the car to buy it, so I got on the car and prepared to wait for him. However, after waiting for quite a while on the car, I didn’t see him 

return. 

I started to get a bit anxious. After all, he had been drinking. If he was really drunk, who knows what could happen in the middle of the night with him being a drunkard. 

Thinking of this, I couldn’t stay calm and wait in the car anymore. I got out of the car and started looking around. This huge road was open in all directions, and I didn’t know where to start. I had no choice but to rely on my intuition and search aimlessly. 

I had been running back and forth for quite a while, but I couldn’t find anyone. I couldn’t help but worry more. It’s said that concern leads to chaos. By the time I realized I should ask for help, I suddenly realized that in my hurry when I got off the car earlier, I had completely forgotten to bring my phone, 

Helplessly, I had to go back to the car again to get my phone to call for help. 

“Woof…” As I passed a dark alley, I was suddenly startled by a sound. It wasn’t that I was cowardly, but in the middle of the night, being lost, it was inevitable that my nerves were a bit on edge. 

Upon hearing the sound, I instinctively stepped back a few paces to ensure my safety. Out of curiosity, I then looked towards the dark alley. The light was too dim, and I could barely make out a large dog growling towards an even darker area, as if it had seen something frightening. 

Looking at this scene, I was suddenly reminded of some terrifying legends. The elders often said that the magnetic fields of animals and humans are different, and they can see many things that people can’t 

see. 

Suddenly, I shivered, my heart pounding with fear. I don’t believe in ghosts and spirits, but being alone in the pitch dark, with the dog. making such strange growling noises, it was hard not to let my imagination run wild. 

Suppressing my fear, I felt an urge to run away, yet I was afraid of disturbing something that shouldn’t be disturbed. I forced myself to endure the fear, slowly turning my head to leave. 

“Zzz.” I had just taken a step when a strange noise sounded, scaring me into freezing on the spot, unable to move. 

The large dog that had been growling in the dark seemed to have taken a few steps back. Only with the faint light, I could barely make out that the dog was a large, pure black one. 

It was even more terrifying at a glance. I wanted to leave, but my legs felt a bit weak, especially when something moved in the dark area where the black dog was staring. It seemed like there was something 

white. 

No, what was prepared to be said was a mass of white and a… person! 

I had to thank the extra seconds I stood there, allowing my eyes to adjust to the darkness, to make out a person and a dog in the shadows. 

That’s right, it was one person and one dog. 

Driven by curiosity, I found myself staring a few more times at the person in the dark. Not for anything else, I was just very curious. If there really were ghosts in this world, I would really like to see what they look like.
