Franklin swept his gaze over Lauren without leaving a trace. After confirming that she was not injured, he felt slightly relieved.

Franklin had been standing by the door listening to the commotion. Other than the sound of the door closing, there was no other sound.

“What do you mean you’ve caught one?”

“Franklin is indeed a big idiot. Catching one means that I’ve caught one.”

This was not what he was asking!

“You mean there’s something else that you haven’t caught?” Franklin looked at the small box in Lauren’s hand. The small box was still emitting a faint green light.

“Hmm…. there’s something even more powerful that Lauren hasn’t caught yet. Lauren needs to go and learn how to catch it.”

After Lauren finished speaking, the soul storage box in her hand actually changed its color.

She patted the box lightly. “Go to sleep, kids!”

“Brother, don’t be afraid. The kids inside must have been woken up by me just now. They’re making a ruckus now!”

Franklin, who was originally not afraid, was now a little afraid.

Were there ghosts inside?

Due to the use of the invisibility spell, Lauren was starting to feel a little sleepy. Therefore, they unanimously decided to deal with Lambert’s matter tomorrow.

After all, they still had to call for Zelda.

Lauren had also set up a barrier in Franklin’s room. Once a ghost entered, Lauren would immediately sense it.

However, her attack on the talisman paper was not a small injury. For the time being, that ghost should not dare to come to the Torres residence again.

“Brother, can you wait here until Lauren is asleep before you leave?” Lauren sank into the soft pillow. The bed was filled with all kinds of furry dolls that she had won from the amusement park.

Perhaps it was because the blow that she had used up all her strength had exhausted Lauren’s vitality. She felt more tired than ever, and her lips were very pale.

It made one feel pity for her.

“You don’t look well. Were you injured just now?” Franklin asked. This time, he could no longer pretend to be calm. Lauren, who was lying on the bed, did not look as radiant as before.

“No! Lauren is just too tired. I’ll be fine after a nap! Franklin coaxed me to sleep. When I wake up, Lauren will be able to jump around and be full of energy!”

Lauren resisted the urge to fall asleep and comforted Franklin. She tried her best to speak in a cheerful tone. She wanted Franklin to know that there was nothing wrong with her.

[ System Divine Nine: Host, what you need now is a lot of rest. Quickly fall asleep and enter the spiritual world to replenish your vitality. ]

“I know! I don’t want Franklin to worry!”

Lauren closed her eyes. “Franklin, tell Lauren a story, and then Lauren will be able to fall asleep!”

Although she was very tired, Lauren still felt that this was the best sleep she ever had in her memory.

Lauren had no dreams for the entire night, while Franklin had almost no sleep for the entire night.

At seven o’clock the next day, Franklin still woke up on time according to his biological clock. Usually, Lauren, the little one, would wake up earlier than him. But when Franklin quietly opened her room door, he found that she had not woken up today yet.

However, her face had already returned to its usual rosy color. Her little face was chubby, and her long eyelashes quietly drooped down.

The sunlight shone through the gaps in the curtains, just in time to shine on Lauren’s face.

Franklin gently pulled the thick curtains, blocking the sunlight from entering. He then closed the door and went out.

Even though the corridor was covered with carpets, Franklin’s footsteps were still much quieter than before.

A servant came up the stairs. He waved her off and told the others not to disturb Lauren before she got up.

Today was Saturday. If it were any other day, Franklin would have gone back to work as well. However, he chose to finish his work in the study today.

It was not until after nine o’clock that Franklin heard Lauren’s voice after he had finished two video conferences with foreign executives. Lauren was full of vitality again. She was acting coquettishly on the first floor and asking Mr. Hayes for delicious food.

He temporarily put down his work and picked up the glass that was still filled with water. He drank it in one gulp and went downstairs.

“Mr. Torres, if you would like your water refilled, give me a call and I’ll get someone to deliver it to you. Why did you make a trip yourself?” Mr. Hayes was very sharp-eyed. He gestured for a servant to reach out and take the glass from Franklin’s hand.

“It’s okay. I’m tired from work. I’ll take this opportunity to take a walk.”

Lauren was skipping out of the kitchen with two buns in her hands.

According to Franklin’s understanding of her, they were definitely meat buns.

“Franklin! Why didn’t you go to work today? Lauren woke up late and thought that she wouldn’t be able to see you!” After she said that, she took a bite of the bun. Her mouth was stuffed full and Lauren shook her head in satisfaction.
