Chapter 288 Lloyd Holds Her Tighter


"I don't want to go in there!"


Ebony was afraid of ghosts! She wasn't going into a haunted house!


Lloyd stared at him with an icy look in her eyes and said, "You promised me."


Ebony had a long face. She said, "But..."


Lloyd raised an eyebrow and said, "Can't you keep your word?"


Ebony felt aggrieved.


She pouted as she said tentatively, "Is it okay if I wait for you at the door?"


Lloyd shook his head.


Ebony felt that Lloyd was determined and unwilling to have a further discussion with her. She thought he had gone too far!


However, Lloyd leaned closer to her and said softly, "Give it a shot. Weren't you brave in 'The Ghost'?"


Ebony thought, 'The Ghost?'


By the way, she did have a good performance in "The Ghost" last time and became the ghost king.


With that in mind, Ebony suddenly gained some confidence. She said, "Anyway, the show paid for the tickets. Well, I... I'll try. "


Ten minutes later, the two walked into the haunted house, one after the other.


Two minutes later.


"Ahhhhhhh! No! I don't want to try it! Get off me! I want to get out! I don't want to try! Boohoo! Boohoo! I was wrong!"


Lloyd could not help but laugh. Then he put his arms around Lloyd's shoulders and gently coaxed her. "It's just some sound effects. Are you afraid of sound effects?"


Ebony hid in Lloyd's arms. She tugged on Lloyd's coat with her little hand and nodded her head in fear. "Yes."


Lloyd was speechless.


Lloyd held her a little tighter. Then he grabbed her hands and wrapped her arms around his waist.


Ebony could only hold Lloyd's waist. Then she buried her face in Lloyd's arms and didn't open her eyes. She said in a muffled voice, "Then take me with you."


Lloyd chuckled and said, "Okay."


However, unfortunately, Lloyd got lost.


Ebony was on the verge of tears. She said, "What took you so long?"


Lloyd put his arms around Ebony and whispered, "It's too dark. I took a wrong turn. Let's walk back."


Ebony shivered when she heard that she had to go back. Then, she immediately pressed her face against Lloyd's neck and wouldn't look up!


Lloyd laughed lightly as he put his arms around her. Then, he started walking back.


Then, they walked from the entrance to the exit.


It was supposed to be a ten-minute walk.


However, they actually walked for more than half an hour.


Once she saw the light again, Ebony was drenched in sweat.


She sat on the ground and reached for her mask. However, when she thought that she could not reveal her identity, she could only fan herself with her palms.


Lloyd pulled her up. He lifted her face and carefully wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead with a tissue. Then he straightened her hair and said, "Not bad. You're very brave."


Ebony said, "I'll never go into a haunted house again."


"Sir, Miss, those who have successfully walked out can come here to draw a prize." At this time, a staff member in the haunted house said to Ebony and Lloyd.


Ebony froze for a moment. She didn't expect that they could still draw a prize.


Then, she and Lloyd went over and drew two cards. Those two cards show that they won the consolation prize.


Ebony received a cell phone clasp. She asked curiously, "What's the grand prize?"


The staff said, "It's a car."


Ebony was speechless.


Ebony took the leaflet that the staff handed to her. Then, she saw that the first prize was a car. She instantly grabbed Lloyd's arm and raised her voice as she said, "Let's go! Let's try again!"


Lloyd was speechless.


Anyway, it was the show that paid for the tickets. And they did not have to spend a dime. They would try again if they could walk through the haunted house multiple times!


Ebony thought so from the start.


But then, three minutes later.


When Ebony looked at the familiar and eerie entrance of the cave in front of her, she couldn't help but take a half step back. Finally, she stammered, "F-forget it! I have to sacrifice so much... A-actually, I'm rich. I-I can afford to buy a car..."


After saying that, Ebony shoved the ticket she was holding into Lloyd's hand. Then, she turned around and tried to run away!


Lloyd was speechless.


The two of them played for another three hours before they went back to join Donald, Kara, and the others.


Virginia hadn't seen Ebony for a long time. She stopped eating ice cream once she saw Ebony come back. Then, she jumped up and ran towards Ebony as she shouted, "Mommy!"


Three seconds later.


"Thud!"


"Ouch..."


Ebony was speechless.


The accident happened in just a second.


Ebony just watched Virginia run towards her. Then, Ebony saw Virginia suddenly fall down when she was halfway through her run. After that, she rolled on the ground a little. Finally, she fell to the ground. Her little arms were bleeding.


Ebony froze!


She thought, 'How could Virginia be so stupid?


Ebony quickly rushed over and picked Virginia up. She looked at Virginia's arm as she asked, "Are you okay? Does it hurt? "


Virginia's eyes and the tip of her nose had turned red. Her eyes were filled with tears. She tried not to cry, but tears rolled down from her eyes.


Ebony felt heartbroken. Then she picked up Virginia, looked back at Lloyd, and said, "I remembered I saw a clinic here?"


Lloyd frowned at Virginia's wound and said, "That way."


At that moment, Donald and Kara came running over. They hadn't been able to hold onto Virginia, and they hadn't expected her to fall while running.


Donald apologized, "I'm sorry. I..."


Lloyd raised his hand as he shook his head and said, "It was an accident. Let's go to the clinic first."


Finally, the six of them rushed to the clinic.


However, they didn't expect the clinic to be packed, so they had to wait in line first.


Today was the weekend. And the amusement park was normally packed with children on weekends. Among these children, some fell, some were hit, and some ate too much and had diarrhea. Anyway, these children appeared to have all kinds of problems.


Finally, it was their turn.


Ebony walked over with Virginia in her arms.


After checking out the wound, the doctor said, "It's not serious. It's just a slight bruise. I'll apply salve on her wound."


Actually, Ebony didn't think Virginia's wound was too serious. Then she looked down at Virginia and said, "The doctor said your wound is not serious. Virginia, stop crying, okay? "


Virginia didn't want to cry either, but tears just kept streaming down her face. Finally, she buried her face into Ebony's shirt. She thought that it would not count if Ebony couldn't see her tears.


Ebony sighed. She put her arms around Virginia as she said to the doctor, "Please apply salve on her wound first."


The doctor dabbed a cotton swab with alcohol and disinfected the wound first.


However, Virginia, who had been sobbing silently, burst into tears.


"Boohoo..." Virginia cried so hard that her face turned red and that she even hiccupped.


Ebony quickly said to the doctor, "Be gentle. Gently."


The doctor was startled by the scene and eased up on his movements.


However, Virginia still felt the pain!


Ebony saw that Virginia was struggling so much that she had to coax Virginia. "Virginia, be good. Look over there! What's that?"


Virginia looked over there and saw that it was a small ball. She grunted in an injured voice, "... It's a ball."


Ebony stroked Virginia's hair as she asked, "Do you know why the ball is round?"


Virginia rubbed her tears with Ebony's shirt. Then, she choked as she said, "... Because if it's square, it can't roll."


Ebony was speechless.


Ebony felt that she gave a bad example, so she had to change it. Then she pointed to the doctor, who was applying the salve to Virginia, and said, "Virginia, look, the doctor is wearing a mask. Do you know why he is wearing a mask?"


Virginia didn't know the reason why, but, with great pain, she guessed, "Is he afraid I'll take revenge on him?"
