Chapter 429 I Saw Aunt Sabrina
“It’s just a hand. Not a big deal.” Oliver understated the fact.
Then, he suddenly changed the topic. “But, is Ms. Livingstone really just a mom to your son?”
Christopher sneered. “So it turns out that you’re not here to confront me, Mr. Xavier, but to show concern about my love life?”
“I just want to remind you not to let your personal feelings interfere with the task I assigned you,” Oliver said slowly. “I don’t care about your love life, but once she threatens me. I won’t show mercy to her.”
In fact, he had seen Yuliana several times.
Although Yuliana was like Sabrina, she was also a potential threat.
According to his code of conduct, he should deal with her together with Sabrina as soon as possible so as not to leave any trouble behind.
But for some reason, he did not intend to take Yuliana’s life.
Christopher bit the cigarette butt and said casually, “Thank you for your reminder, Mr. Xavier. If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up first.”
With that said, he hung up the phone.
Christopher threw his phone on the couch next to him while smoking slowly. Then, he went to the window to open it. It was still raining outside. Under the street lights at night, the wet streets looked mottled.
After staring at it for a while, a terrified cry suddenly sounded behind him.
He turned around and saw Yuliana curling up on the bed. Her whole face was all scrunched up, looking frightened.
Christopher walked to the bed and touched Yuliana’s face. He said softly, “Ana.”
In her sleep, Yuliana seemed to hear someone calling her.
However, she was running wildly in the deep woods at that moment.
In her dream, it was also raining like in reality.
The sound of falling rain hit the branches, leaves, shrubs, and weeds. In the past, she would find it very melodious.
However, it only made her feel panic and fear at that moment.
The clouds covered the moon, and there was no light in the woods.
Yuliana was lost in direction, and she did not dare to stop, as if something that scared her was chasing after her. All she wanted was to run out of the woods and see the light..
Nonetheless, the woods seemed to have no boundary, and she could not escape from the place regardless of how hard she ran.
The sudden sound of someone calling her name made her feel a tinge of security amidst panic.
“Ana…”
Yuliana wondered, “Who is calling me?” The sudden distraction made her trip over something. She fell into a sticky mud pit, and mud splashed on her face. Her heart beat wildly. She raised her hand and wiped her face, feeling something was wrong.
It did not seem to be mud.
Nonetheless, she could not care less about it. She just wanted to get up quickly and continue running.
However, she seemed to touch something just as she was about to prop herself up. After a moment of hesitation, she touched it carefully with her hands again on the ground. Then, her whole body froze. “Ah!” she screamed again, throwing away the thing in her hand.
At that time, a lightning bolt split the night sky and illuminated the whole earth.
Yuliana saw clearly what she had just touched with the aid of the lightning
It was a person’s head.
The rain soaked the hair on that skull, and the long hair obscured the skull’s face.
For an inexplicable reason, Yuliana walked over slowly and flicked the hair off the skull.
A face appeared right in front of Yuliana.
“Aunt Sabrina!”
Yuliana woke up from her dream as she sweated profusely.
She sat on the bed with her eyes looking blankly, gasping for breath.
Hearing her voice, Christopher immediately opened his eyes and stroked her back. “It’s good that up. You’re just dreaming.”
you woke
Yuliana’s face was pale. She shook her head in pain and murmured, “It’s not a dream. I saw Aunt Sabrina. She has gotten dismembered in the dark woods. She must be sending dreams to me so that I could find her.”
With that, she lifted the quilt and got out of bed. She did not even wear her shoes and walked straight to the door.
Christopher immediately chased after Yuliana. He stopped her and patiently coaxed, “Yuliana, you have dreams at night because you think of it too much during the day. You are just too worried about the safety of Aunt Sabrina these past two days. That’s why you have nightmares. Besides, it’s midnight now. Even if you want to find her, you should wait for the daylight tomorrow, right?”
“Midnight?”
Yuliana looked out of the window. It was already dark.
Then, she came to her senses eventually and realized she was almost naked except for her lingerie.
She frowned subtly.
“I came back last night, and you were already asleep. Your coat was wet. I can’t let you sleep in wet clothes, so I took them off for you.” After Christopher explained, he immediately brought a bathrobe and wrapped it around her.
Finally, he even tied the waistband for her carefully.
Yuliana looked at his movements blankly and did not react too much. Christopher helped her sit down on the couch and poured her a glass of hot water.
Yuliana took it and held it in her palm. She did not drink it but let the hot water press on her palm so that the heat could dissipate the cold on her body due to the cold sweat. “How long have I slept?”
“Ten hours.” Christopher sat down next to her.
Yuliana must have fallen asleep after drinking. She had nightmares all the time. Sometimes she was terrified, and sometimes she talked in her sleep. No matter what Christopher said to her, she just could not wake up.
After that, she had a mild fever.
Christopher had been sitting by the bed and taking care of her.
After the early morning. Yuliana became silent for a while. Christopher also fell asleep by the bed until he was awakened by Yuliana’s terrified scream again.
Yuliana lowered her head, and her hair covered her face. “That long?”
“It’s not long. You didn’t sleep last night, right?” Christopher looked at her and asked, “Do you want to go to bed for a while?”
Yuliana shook her head.
Then, the two sat quietly without saying anything.
The temperature in her hand became cold, and Yuliana raised her head and drank the water in one gulp.
She put down the glass and got up.
“Where are you going?” Christopher asked, looking at her. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
Yuliana did not answer him but went straight to the bathroom.
After taking a hot shower, Yuliana finally felt much more energetic. She picked up her phone and checked the time. It was already five o’clock in the morning, and it would be dawn soon.
Yuliana walked to the window and opened it.
It had been raining all night in Yrinas, and the temperature there suddenly dropped significantly. In addition, the air humidity was high. When the window was opened, the cold wind poured in immediately. Yuliana, who had just taken a shower, could not help trembling.
Suddenly, an arm wrapped around her from behind.
The warmth from someone’s chest slowly engulfed her.
Yuliana stood still like a puppet.
“Ana, I know you’re worried about Aunt Sabrina, but she hasn’t been in touch for two days. You have to be mentally prepared,” Christopher said softly.
Originally, he did not want to talk to Yuliana about that.
But as he said, they could not get in touch with her for two days. There was a great possibility that something had happened to Sabrina.
Especially when he saw Yuliana having nightmares every day and worried for Sabrina’s safety, he was a little worried whether Yuliana could bear it if Sabrina died.
Yuliana was still silent and did not respond. She kept staring out of the window.
A few minutes later, she finally turned around and looked at Christopher.
Her gaze fixated on him for a long while. She also observed him very carefully.
