Not Again Mr Whitney

Mrs. Houston coughed and could finally utter a word.

“Why...why are you all here? What’s going on?”

Carrie said, “Mother, you don’t know anything? That bastard Calvin nearly killed you.”

“Who? Calvin?”

Mrs. Houston shook her head, “It wasn’t him. It was a ghost, a dark ghost. He was on top of me and I couldn’t breathe. I wanted to call somebody to save me and his tongue wrapped around my neck, trying to suffocate me. I thought I was going to die and then I didn’t know why the ghost started screaming. There were a lot of things stuck in his body and his tongue was cut off. Then I was finally saved.”

Rita stared at the toothpicks and thought about how Calvin was tearing something up and tried so hard to cut her grandma’s neck.

Was he trying to save her?

Carrie didn’t believe it, “Mother, you must be dreaming.”

But Mrs. Houston was quite sure, “It wasn’t a dream. I remembered it clearly. I was possessed. I also remembered that someone rushed here and saved me.”

Carrie didn’t know what to say this time. Was that loser really saving her?

Lewis didn’t have a clue either, “Mom, let me help you sit for a while.”

But Mrs. Houston’s whole body was stiff and she just couldn’t sit up. She was yelling that something was on her chest.

The doctor checked several times and didn’t know what to do.

Rita suddenly approached and grabbed the jade amulet hanging on Mrs. Houston’s neck.

“Rita, what are you doing? Vincent gave it to me. Why did you take it away from me?”

Mrs. Houston got upset and rolled over to take it back.

Everyone was astonished.

Carrie’s eyes were wide open and she said, “Mother, you’re sitting by yourself.”

Mrs. Houston realized what happened and said, “Yeah, why am I sitting? Oh, this is strange. My chest doesn’t feel weird anymore.”

Rita looked at the amulet and finally understood what was going on.

“Grandma, you wanna know the reason?”

“You know why?”

Rita showed her the amulet and said, “Do you remember what Calvin said about this amulet? He said it was deadly.”

Carrie gave Rita a look. She wanted her to stop taking Calvin’s side and upsetting Mrs. Houston.
