Chapter 109
She had been out for a long time.
Afraid that Josephine would be anxious, she said goodbye to Julian and left his study with her old and new phones.
After she left, Julian looked at the empty white phone box on the desk. He could finally reveal a smile that he had been hiding for a long time.
However, in the next second, he raised his handsome eyebrows again.
“Well then, how should he add her on WhatsApp openly next?”
Julian thought deeply.
Julian worked in the study until almost 10 o’clock. When he went downstairs and returned to the bedroom, he realized that there was no one in the
room
Alexandra was not back yet.
Julian couldn’t stay without knowing what happened and went upstairs to knock on Josephine’s door again.
Pushing open the door, he saw Josephine and Alexandra lying side by side on the bed, each holding a phone. He didn’t know what they were busy.
with.
Seeing him come in, Josephine said to him, “Julian, Alex will sleep here tonight. Go to sleep by yourself. Alex is teaching me how to add bubbles and
words to the videos!”
Alexandra, who went all the way to refuse to leave Josephine’s place, sat on the bed and blinked at Julian.
Julian glanced at Alexandra and said to Josephine, “Grandma, Alex doesn’t sleep well. I’m afraid she’ll disturb your rest.”
Alexandra immediately said, “I’m not! I’m very obedient when I sleep!”
Josephine waved at Julian. “I’ll borrow your wife for one night. I’ll return her to you tomorrow.”
Alexandra was speechless.
“Why did that sound so awkward when grandma said it?” She thought.
Julian couldn’t just take Alexandra away in front of Josephine, so he could only agree to it. “Alright then. You guys rest early. Good night.”
Julian glanced at Alexandra again, then turned around and left the room.
Alexandra quietly looked at his back and felt that he was a little pitiful.
However, that also meant another thing.
She could finally not sleep on the same bed with him!
Julian returned to the bedroom alone and went to take a shower alone.
He returned to the bed alone and lay down.
He turned off the lights and tossed and turned for a while, but he couldn’t fall asleep.
It was empty beside him. There was no girl clinging to him.
After a long while, Julian fell asleep all alone.
Upstairs, the old and the young women watched the short videos until almost 11 o’clock before going to bed.
They were all sleeping soundly.
Moreover, Alexandra really slept very well by Josephine’s side as she promised.
She lay obediently on her side, with no intention of hugging someone to sleep.
If Julian saw this, he would probably wonder if the girl had deliberately crawled into his arms when she slept in the same bed as him.
She was sleeping soundly.
But as she fell asleep, she began to dream.
Her head hurt a little, and her throat was dry.
In her dream, she saw many strange scenes.
First, there was a mountain filled with all kinds of herbs. She saw the back of an old man in white bending down to pick up bugs.
The old man kept his back to her, so she couldn’t see the old man’s face.
However, his figure and back view were so familiar.
Chapter 109
Alexandra sat on a stone bench. On the stone table was a plate of washed grapes and a plate of peanuts, melon seeds, and raisins.
The grapes were planted on the mountain. They were especially big and sweet.
She picked up a few grapes in her dream and wanted to say something to the old man.
But just as she was about to speak, a tornado suddenly blew over from the mountain, and the old man disappeared in the storm.
Then, the dream switched to another scene. She was in her mid–teens at that time.
The scene was set in a huge private shooting range.
She was wearing a professional shooting attire and was curious about the dazzling array of guns in the cabinet.
Beside her stood a man much taller than she was. The man wore a mask and a black shooting attire.
The man picked up a lighter silver pistol and said to her, “Girl, don’t you want to learn? Come on!”
Alexandra saw herself reaching out to take the pistol in her dream.
However, the moment she touched the muzzle, the pistol, the man, and the entire shooting range melted into bubbles!
Alexandra felt a little suffocated.
She wanted to wake up.
However, as if she had been possessed, she dreamed of an incomparably glorious performance hall.
There was a black grand piano in the middle of the hall.
She saw a girl in white sitting in front of the piano and playing a very familiar tune, “The Lost Yellow“!
Alexandra saw herself kneeling in a corner of the stage in her dream. She had a headache, a very severe headache.
She saw that the girl playing the piano seemed to be laughing. She played faster and louder.
Alexandra covered her head and shouted for her to stop, but the girl acted as if she did not hear Alexandra.
Alexandra’s entire body convulsed, and cold sweat broke out on her forehead. Her throat also began to emit a suppressed and painful cry.
Her movements naturally woke Josephine up.
Josephine turned on the bedside lamp in her half–asleep state and saw Alexandra constantly twisting her head, her forehead covered in sweat.
This frightened Josephine!
“Alex! Alex!” She called out to Alexandra twice, but Alexandra did not hear her. She was still trapped in the dream and could not escape.
Josephine was very anxious. She quickly got up and went downstairs to look for Julian.
Julian had just fallen asleep when he heard someone knocking on the door.
He opened his eyes warily and got up to open the door.
“Grandma, what’s wrong?” Seeing the anxiety on Josephine’s face, he had a feeling that something had happened to Alexandra.
“Hurry up and go see Alex. She doesn’t seem to be doing well. I don’t dare to wake her up!”
Before she could finish speaking, Julian had already gone upstairs.
After going upstairs, he rushed to the bed and saw that Alexandra was trembling and her forehead was covered in cold sweat.
Julian felt that this situation looked all too familiar.
She had this reaction on the day of the welcoming party and the day she was attacked in Sheffield.
“But why is she like this at home?” Julian wondered.
He couldn’t care less. He bent down and touched her face. “Alex, wake up! Wake up!”
In her dream, Alexandra heard someone call her name. It was a man’s voice.
The man’s voice came from afar, and the sound of the piano in her dream seemed to be blocked by this voice. The sound of the piano became softer and softer.
Even the huge empty stage was getting further and further away
That included the back view of the girl playing the piano.
Alexandra opened her eyes tiredly and saw a familiar face.
Seeing that she was awake, Julian’s tense heart relaxed a little. He helped Alexandra, who was trying to sit up, to sit up. “Did you have a nightmare?”
Alexandra’s head hurt, but she was not fully awake yet.
Chapter 109
She nodded in a daze, tilted her head, and leaned into Julian’s arms.
When his forehead was pressed against Julian’s pajamas, he clearly felt an abnormal chill.
Josephine was extremely anxious. “Is Alex sick? Should we call the doctor over?”
Julian looked down and saw that Alexandra had closed her eyes again.
He didn’t want Josephine to worry, so he carried Alexandra right away.
