With that said, I looked up at Mrs. Eriksen who was serving us and said to her, “Have the chef preparea few western dishes. Mr. Blondell is about to return to his country soon so we should see him offproperly.”

“Understood,” she replied with a smile and made her way into the kitchen.

She had just reached the door when Sean’s voice stopped her, “Please don’t trouble yourself.”

He stood up abruptly and buttoned up the last button of his suit. Then, he said as he smoothened outhis suit, “Your kindness has been delivered. I won’t be eating as I have no appetite. Besides, it’s timefor my flight soon. Goodbye.”

“Take care.” He was still the representative of a large consortium after all. Even though ourconversation earlier wasn’t quite pleasant, Emery and I still sent him off out of decorum.

We watched as he got into his car and his driver drove away. Emery stared into the distance and it wasobvious that she was worried when she said, “You and your husband have completely offended Seanand the people behind him.”

I disagreed. “Is that so? I wouldn’t have known that I have such great capability if you hadn’t pointedout.”

“Stop being so sarcastic. I gathered some information and found that GW has never failed to get theirhands on a project they have their eyes on. This could be a bad thing so both of you have to becareful.”

As she spoke, Emery took my arm and dragged me inside before changing the topic, “How’s the IVFgoing?”

“It’ll happen soon,” I answered. “I’ll be able to get the transplant the day after tomorrow. Then, I need torest at home for half a month. We’ll be able to know if I can get pregnant after that.”

“Let’s hope that there will be good news,” she said with a sigh. “It was hard for you to get here. Let’shope there won’t be any future trouble.”

I couldn’t help but laugh at her precocious manner. “Do you know that you sound like a grandma whenyou nag me like that?”

“Tsk. How heartless of you.” She stopped walking and reached out to slap my arm. “If only I was agrandma. At least you’d listen to what I say. Never mind not listening to what I said about Stella’smatter but you must never underestimate GW. None of those bank investors would’ve gotten to wherethey are now without being ruthless.” Perhaps it was because Emery’s face was especially eerie, orbecause Sean was being so adamant earlier, but I had a nightmare while waiting for Ashton to comehome.

In the nightmare, I was crucified and the church was filled with men with blond hair and blue eyes. Theypointed at me as they said that I was sinful and that they wanted to cut me up into a thousand pieces. Iwanted to struggle and escape, but my limbs were nailed into the wood with nails as thick as a finger. Ithurt so much even when I was just breathing in.

Suddenly, the men rushed towards me like they had gone crazy. They started to drink my blood and eatmy flesh. I was in so much pain but I couldn’t scream.

“Letty? Letty…”

A familiar, low voice sounded by my ear and I opened my eyes abruptly. I saw Ashton’s worried faceand I reached out to hug him instantly.

The scenes in the nightmare were so realistic and I could still feel the pain as my flesh was torn off mybones. I was still breathing heavily even when I buried my face in his chest.

“Did you have a nightmare?” he asked softly as he patted my back to calm me down.

After a long time, I finally relaxed a little and I let go of Ashton to look at him.

“What was it about?” he asked.

“It’s nothing.” I let out a long breath and I could still feel my heart racing with fear. However, I didn’twant to think of the dream again.

I turned towards the window and saw that dawn had come. Ashton must’ve just returned.
