Chapter 121 - A Nightmare

Eliot was carried out by two policemen. It was late at night, but the hospital hall was still packed with people. It was raining heavily outside. Eliot looked up at the dark sky. The sound of the rain was mixed with thunder. Lightning tore a hole in the sky, leaving the people below looking so pale.

Previously, Eliot was certain that Marquise was taking revenge on him. Eliot now had a second thought. Marquise had been injured by him. Even if he wanted to take revenge, he needed to recover from his injuries. How could he be so impatient? However, the police said that Marquise had been seriously injured. Eliot suspected that Marquise was acting. Marquise might ask his own people to seriously beat him so as to send Eliot into the police station.

Eliot couldn't figure it out.

He looked out of the window. Under the thunder and lightning, he saw something flying through the rain from afar. He was somewhat surprised to see it carefully, but it was so fast that it disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

At eleven o'clock in the night, the little robot flew back to the garret and charged itself.

Trevor got up and got off the bed barefoot. Because he had not seen the sun for a long time, his skin was morbid pale. He was slender. When he squatted down, one could see his backbone bulge.

He touched the little robot's head, and a burst of light flashed across the wall. Then, a series of images appeared.

It was afternoon.

Noah probably went out, and Christy was alone in the room. Wearing glasses, she was tapping on the computer. She leant on the chair and waited for a while. Then paper came out from the printer.

She took off her glasses, picked up a picture and blew it. Then, she walked to a wall and torn off a poster on it, revealing the pictures and colorful markings underneath. Then, she took out a pen and re-circled a name, Ferne.

She then pinned Ferne's picture to the wall.

After everything was done, Christy lay on the sofa and involuntarily fell asleep. In the afternoon, she fell into a nightmare. She revealed fear on her face and she went into convulsion as she straightened up. Then, she randomly grabbed something beside her. Having reached a cup on the coffee table, she smashed it onto the ground. The glass let out a crisp sound. She finally woke up with tears.

She trembled and walked to the computer. She picked up a cigarette and a lighter. After taking a puff of the cigarette, she seemed to be freed from her nightmare. She opened the window and bathed herself in the afternoon sunlight.

Her beautiful eyes were filled with many emotions, such as despair, sadness, hesitation and confusion.

Suddenly, she glanced at the little robot in the room. She probably didn't know why there was such a doll in this place, but she didn't care. She just glanced at it casually and took a few more puffs of cigarettes. After the smoke dissipated, she closed the window.

Noah came in with some food. Having found the broken glass in the trash can, he swept gazes over the coffee table and saw that the cup on it was missing. Then he went to check his cigarette case and found that a cigarette was missing as well. He walked up to Christy and asked, "Did you have a nightmare?"

Christy did not deny it.

"Have something." Noah took out the food and placed it on the coffee table.

Christy did not move.

Noah sighed and walked over to hug her. "It's fine. It's over."

Trevor heard a noise and pressed the pause button.

"Mr. Trevor, are you hungry? I am here to serve you some food." A voice came from the door. A crack appeared at the side corner of the door. A tray was sent in. It was filled with all kinds of nutritious meals.

Before the servant left, he added, "It's raining outside. It's cool at night. Tuck in yourself and don't get a cold."

Trevor played the video again. Christy started to eat with a smile on her face. The action was frozen as the little robot looked up at Trevor.

Although Trevor and the little robot did not communicate, Trevor understood.

Trevor walked over to the tray and placed it on the bed. He looked at the girl who was eating with a big smile on the screen. He dug out a mouthful of rice with a spoon and stuffed it into his mouth.

The little robot on the ground automatically played the picture of Christy's eating. She was more beautiful than Arabella. But she did not eat like a fair lady. The picture gave people a good appetite.

When Trevor put down the spoon in his hand, the rice in the tray had been eaten up.

This was the first time he ate so much.

He put the tray back where it was and then went back to bed. The information on the computer was changing non-stop. He copied the information and then located it. Later, he typed in keywords to find more information. After screening it, he copied it, located it and sent it.

In the middle of the night, the siren of the police car mixed with the sound of the rain.

**

Emily had another nightmare that night. Beverly embezzled public funds, Eliot was injured and hospitalized, her father and Harold died in a car accident, the Britt Group went bankrupt, and her house was mortgaged. In the end, she was stabbed to death by Elsie.

She opened her eyes, panting heavily at three o'clock in the morning.

She could not sit idly by and wait for death. She had to let Christy take the initiative to cooperate.

Thus, at three in the morning, she sent a message to Harold.

"Find an opportunity to kidnap Noah or Christy."

Harold, who had been woken up by the text message, looked at it silently.

'Is Miss Emily dreaming?'

"Go to the Dalton Hotel and wait for him." Emily added.

Harold was certain that Emily was serious.

"Keep an eye out for highly skilled doctors." Another messaged was sent over.

Harold looked at it for a long time and failed to understand it. He only replied, "Alright."

The rain outside the window had stopped. Emily lay back on the bed, but she was no longer sleepy. What the guards said rang in her mind. Finally, she got off the bed barefoot, opened the door, and walked through the corridor to the opposite of the study.

She twisted the handle gently.

The door opened.

The air was hot and dry. The curtains were completely drawn. It was pitch black all around, and Emily could not see her fingers. She carefully closed the door and stepped into the endless darkness.

She groped forward and finally reached the bed. She continued to touch the quilt, and then the long arms which were placed outside. Emily held Vincent's wide, slightly cocooned hand and felt his body temperature. Then she gently pressed her face against it.

In her nightmare, she dreamed that Vincent was dead for the first time.

Emily didn't know that the owner of this hand was watching all of this with his eyes open.

After Emily confirmed that Vincent was still alive, she turned around and walked out. Halfway through, she was held back and carried onto the bed.

Emily covered her mouth and did not make a sound. Vincent carried her into his arms and tucked her in. Then, he did not make any other movements. Emily pillowed on his long arm, and his aura surged into her nose.

After realizing that he was awake, she silently turned to face him. However, the room was too dark for her to see his face. She could only feel his breathing on her face. It was so hot.

She stretched out her hands gently and wrapped them around his neck.

Vincent stiffened slightly. In the next moment, he grabbed her back.

It was unknown how much time had passed. Vincent heard the sound of even breathing and realized that Emily had fallen asleep with her arms around his neck.

Vincent chuckled and tilted his head to kiss her earlobe.

What an adorable woman!
