Chapter 310: The Wrong Turn (10)

"Are you sure we should be here?" Shinho asked apprehensively. "The Lady Cop said we shouldn't be here!"

"She said that we shouldn't be around Jina since there will be a lot of charms around her," Yumi reasoned, fixing her arm. "But that doesn't mean we can't keep an eye on the crazy dad of yours!"

Casper nodded in agreement, flashing a thumbs up at Yumi's intelligence. They were at the hospital, keeping an eye on Danny's activities. They had been hiding from Gayoon because the cop had requested them not to visit since there were many charms around Jina's room. However, she never told them that they could not spy on the killer doctor.

"Yes, I know I have a very good brain," she complimented herself, correctly interpreting his gestures. Lately, she had been understanding his sign language so it was easy to converse with him. Casper led the way towards Danny's office where the doctor was. They peered through the door, spying on him.

Danny sat on the couch, trembling in fear. They were astonished to see his disheveled state and the fright in his eyes. He saw with his hands ruffling through his hair and it was as if he was deep in thought.

"I know I saw someone that night," he muttered to himself. "A shadow. It was a shadow."

Ever since he saw that shadow, his mind had been fixated on it. The thing wanted to kill him but it would slowly torture him first. The CCTV footage did not show anyone who broke into the office which was shocking. 

Suddenly, there was a loud crashing noise. Danny jumped in fright and looked around to see that his mobile phone had fallen on the floor. He rushed towards it and picked it up, frowning. 

The windows were tightly shut and even with a strong wind, something as heavy as a mobile phone should not fall so easily. The screen cracked and he was puzzled by the mystery. How did it fall? He thought in panic.

SMASH!

The wall clock fell on the ground, smashed to bits. Danny whimpered in fear, cowering towards the wall. He was profusely sweating, afraid of what was going on. 

"What's he doing?" Yumi frowned. The doctor was staring at the wall where a clock was hung. A moment ago, he was sitting on the couch and then stood up abruptly to pick something up from the floor but there was nothing in his hand. His phone was on the table, perfectly fine.

Danny was still fearful in his office of the strange phenomenon occurring around him. He was leaning against the wall for support.

"W-who's there?" he demanded. "Why are you doing this?"

As soon as he said those words, an invisible force slapped him hard and he toppled over. He tried to stagger up but something grabbed his feet and pulled him backwards.

"Something is happening to dad!" Shinho exclaimed. Danny had fallen on the ground by himself and began to yell like a baby.

"AHHHHH!" he screamed as the unseen force dragged him across the floor, shoving him aside.

"What the hell is he doing?" Yumi wondered out loud. The doctor was acting odd. His feet were tilted up and he was screaming and yelling while rooted to one place. He was waving his hands like a madman as if trying to squat at something. He was crawling by himself across the floor like a toddler while screaming like a banshee.

Hearing his screams, a nurse and a wardboy came running into his cabin.

"Doctor Kang!" the nurse shouted, trying to calm him down but Danny was still flapping his limbs in fear. The nurse and the wardboy held his hands, pinning him to the ground.

"LET ME GO!" he yelled. "LET ME GO!"

"DOCTOR IT'S US!" the nurse shouted. The wardboy was having troubles holding him down.

"Sir, please don't attack us!" the wardboy pleaded. Danny finally came to his senses and realized what he was doing. The nurse and the wardboy still kept him pinned until he was breathing slowly and relaxed himself.

"I-I'm okay now," he stammered. "Let me go."

They let him go and Danny somehow composed himself. He pointed at the wall opposite him.

"Get that wall clock fixed," he said. "It fell and broke."

The nurse and the wardboy were confused. "Sir, the wall clock is working perfectly fine," the nurse told him, pointing at the clock which hung on the wall.

Danny stared at it in utter shock. How was that possible? It fell and smashed on the ground right before his very own eyes! Then how did it fix itself?

He dashed towards his desk and to add to his confusion, his cellphone was also unscathed. 

"Sir, I think you've overworked yourself," the nurse said in a gentle tone. "You should go home and rest."

Danny nodded. "You're right," he agreed. "I should go back home and rest for a while. Have doctor Kim take over my shift for today."

The nurse and wardboy nodded, scurrying out of the room. The ghosts watched the bizarre scene. From what they witnessed, Danny was acting strange all by himself. There was no one else in the room, living nor dead other than them. So why was he being so chaotic?

"Casper, I'm not so sure about what ghosts could do," Yumi began. "But is it possible that somehow, the ghosts of the kids he had hurt are doing this? Driving him crazy? But then, why couldn't we see them?"

It was indeed worrying. Even Casper never saw a bizarre situation as this. He made some gestures.

"We should go to the furnace area and check it out?" Yumi asked. Gayoon had told them about the furnace where the ghosts of the children were probably lurking. It might give them some clue on whether those ghosts were behind this or was it something else?

"Let's go!" Yumi said but Shinho stood rooted to his spot.

"I want to go and check up on my dad," he said. The other two ghosts stared at him, feeling puzzled.

"Why?" Yumi asked. "He's a murderer! Why are you worried about him?"

"I just want to see if my older brother is doing well!" Shinho insisted. "He must be feeling very sorry. And also"

He trailed off but the thought in his mind was troubling him. What if his father tried to hurt his brother? Siwan had accidentally poisoned Jina. That must have angered their father a lot and Shihno knew that his father's wrath was very dangerous. He did not want his brother to face it.

"I want to go!" Shinho insisted. "I can follow him. You two go and check the furnace!"

Casper wanted to go with the boy but Shinho shook his head. "No," he said. "I'll go alone. I want to protect my brother. You two stay here and protect Jina. Okay?"

Yumi pursed her lips while Casper looked worried. Finally, they nodded.

"Okay," she agreed. "But if you're not back within an hour, Casper will go and fetch you. Okay?"

"Deal!" Shinho said and disappeared in thin air. Yumi turned towards Casper.

"Let's go and see what those ghosts are up to," she stated.

Casper nodded in agreement. What were those ghosts doing? And how?
