My Mysterious Husband novel Chapter 238

Venus bypassed the pool and continued to move forward. Just when she stepped on the edge of the pool, a loud bang made Venus so frightened that she screamed uncontrollably "Ah--".

The cry of horror travelled through the loose air to the outside of the cave. Gavin frowned when he heard it. What did she encounter that made her so terrified?

Heng Zhang and Alisa were standing together and they looked at each other smiling. They hoped that Venus would be scared to death in the cave, thus saving them some work.

After a wave of panic, Venus shone the flashlight into the pool. As far as she could see, a huge fish was swimming in the pool. It swished its big tail, splashing water from time to time.

Venus has never seen such a fish. How to describe it? It looked very casual as if it had been in the dark for so long time that it didn't care about its image at all.

The fish had a big head yet two small eyes. Maybe it's because it had been in the dark for a long time and its vision had deteriorated. Nevertheless, it had many tentacles on the top of its head.

Venus was a little curious. What did it live on? There were no other fishes in the pool. Just when she was wondering, the big ugly fish quickly sank under the water and disappeared in an instant.

The pool may be connected to an underground river. Here was the place where the fish came to take in oxygen and it just happened to meet her.

Venus muttered in her heart what kind of cave this was.

She really wanted to go out and tell Gavin that there was nothing in the cave, but she was really curious about what else to see. She couldn't control her feet and continued moving on.

The flame of the candle began to sway, and Venus had more difficulty in breathing. Her reason kept telling her don't go further, but she couldn't stop her feet.

A corner was lying ahead. Venus stopped and thought whether to go in or return.

After a fierce struggle in her mind, she finally made up her mind to turn this corner to see what was there. She would just take a look, and then went back the same way she came.

After making up her mind, Venus walked forward cautiously. She just arrived at the corner when she tripped over something under her feet and fell. The candle in her hand fell onto the ground and, after a few rolls, went out. Fortunately, she held the flashlight very firmly.

"Ouch, it hurts." Venus tried to get up with her hands on the ground, but she seemed to have touched something. She shone the flashlight, but she was scared out of wits.

"Ahhhh-" Venus screamed loudly at the skull in her hand. At this time, only screams could ease her horror.

She quickly threw the skull away, and shone the flashlight around. Venus was so frightened that she was about to faint, because the beam of the flashlight revealed skeletons everywhere.

She couldn't stay there any longer. She ran towards the entrance desperately despite her weak legs, as if chased by many ghosts. The loud footsteps awakened many bats which spread their wings and flew out of the cave.

This scene also shocked the people outside. No one had seen so many bats before.

Gavin was holding the sleeping baby. There was a hint of worries in addition to surprise in his eyes. Venus wouldn't really be scared to death, would she?

As he was worrying, a familiar figure ran out of the cave, with a large group of bats overhead...

The moment Venus came out of the cave, she slumped on the ground and gasped heavily. Her small face was extremely pale, her hair was messed up, and her eyes move nervously without focus. The candled was gone. Only the flashlight was held tightly in her hand.

All eyes were on her. Some are out of inquiry, some ridicule, and others inexplicable concern.

"Venus, what did you see inside the cave?" asked Gavin.

Venus didn't replied. She just looked up at him blankly, as if she didn't understand him.

Gavin wanted to ask again, but was stopped by Mr. Cai, "Stop asking. We are not going to get any useful information now. She is probably scared. Give her a break."

Mr. Cai was right. Venus was really frightened.

She probably wouldn't forget the horrible scene all her life.
