“This used to be the resting room for the coffee bean growers, but later the resting room moved up the mountain, where a new watchtower was built, so this place was given to us,” Zain explained.

Zain had made a detailed description of the new site as well as the requirements of the museum.

When working, Zayla was fully focused, and so was Simon.

It was beginning to get dark, and they had not left.

Soon, night fell, and the moon hung high in the sky. The stars were shining brightly.

Zain said apologetically, “It’s too late, and it’s not convenient to go back to the city late at night. It’s my fault. If I hadn’t been late, we wouldn’t have had to work so late.

“If you don’t mind, you can stay in my house. My home is not occupied.

“There aren’t many inns or hotels left here. Even if there are, they must be full. But I have a good relationship with them. I can ask them for quilts and toiletries.”

Zain felt more and more guilty.

At this time, it was already nine o’clock. If they returned to the city center, it would be

one or two o’clock the next morning.

Moreover, Zayla and Simon had to take a closer look at this new site tomorrow and take

more photos.

Staying in Ballard was the best choice.

Zain’s house was located in a relatively remote location in Ballard, and the nearby residents had all moved out.

The house had been empty for some years, but it was very clean.

“I was born in Ballard, but I moved to the city with my parents when I was very young. However, this was my home. So I paid to let the workers in inns or hotels clean up my house every month.”

When they arrived, the workers had already finished cleaning up.

After they laid clean blankets on the beds and settled the toiletries, they left on their electric scooters.

Zayla and Zain thanked them and wished them goodnight.

Then, Zayla entered the house and followed the wooden stairs to the bedroom on the

second floor.

Closing the door, she pushed open the window to get some fresh air.

However, as soon as the wooden window was pushed open, Zayla saw Simon, who was living opposite her.

There was a small courtyard between them, and they were now looking at each other.

“Zayla.” His thin lips parted slightly as he called her name.

Zayla didn’t reply.

She closed the wooden window directly.

Seeing him would annoy her.

Zayla sat on the bed and sent a message to ask Ira about the repair of Snow Building and

the reconstruction of the stable. Knowing that everything was going according to plan,

Zayla was at ease.

Ira was reliable. With him here, Zayla had nothing to worry about.

After putting down the phone, Zayla picked up a pen and paper to draw the sketches of

the museum.

Late at night, the wind from the mountain and the sea converged, howling and wailing…

The old house was poorly soundproofed, and the windows creaked loudly.

“What… What are you doing!”

“This is my home. Who are you?”

“Help!”

Zain shouted!

Bang!

This loud sound shocked Zayla, and she stood up immediately. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Was it a gunshot?

Something had happened!

Then, the sound of footsteps was heard.

“Search the house and see if there is anyone else!”

The door lock was made of wood. If the men broke in, it would break instantly.

But Zayla went out now, she would undoubtedly be caught!

Zayla carefully pushed open the window and saw that there was no one in the courtyard!

She looked at the rain shed beside her and jumped down.

About a few seconds later…

“The man over here ran away!”

“The one over there also ran away!”

Simon also ran away?

Zayla did not have time to think too much and entered the small path.

Suddenly, someone grabbed her wrist!

“It’s me.”
