Chapter 46

I returned to my rented apartment, utterly exhausted, and collapsed onto the bed. I tossed and turned for what felt like hours, and it wasn't until early morning that I finally drifted into a restless sleep. But even in my dreams, Abigail haunted me. She morphed into a vengeful spirit that pounced on me, tormenting me without mercy. I woke up in a cold sweat, the sound of knocking on the door pulling me from the nightmare. The rhythmic knocking was calming, so it couldn't be Abigail. Abigail had a short temper. If it were her, she would have already knocked down the door and stormed in after knocking for such a long time. Dragging my weary body out of bed, I opened the door to find Zack standing there. He had a fruit basket in hand, and a selection of nutritional supplements in another. He was smiling brightly when I met his gaze. "Tracking you down wasn't easy," Zack said. "Uncle Zack?" I managed to muster up a smile and politely asked, "What brings you here? Please come in."
