Chapter 64 - 59
"What... What does that mean?"
Inside the bus, when Brian mentioned leaving the bus, everyone looked puzzled, not understanding why he would suddenly say such a thing.
After hesitating for a moment, Brian glanced around and, seeing that nobody was paying attention to them, took a few steps closer. In a low voice that only a few people nearby could hear, he recounted all the details of his recent nightmare.
"Brian, do you know what you're saying?"
As Brian slowly recounted his experience, disbelief crossed the faces of everyone. They looked at him with expressions that seemed to say, "Are you half-asleep or something?"
Seeing that no one seemed to believe him, Brian felt somewhat helpless. Indeed, trying to correlate reality with a dream was somewhat absurd. If he weren't experiencing it himself, he probably wouldn't even believe it.
However, the vivid scenes from the dream and the familiar feeling from seeing the soldiers outside just moments ago, coupled with the palpitations urging him to leave, made it impossible for him to just sit there.
Unlike the others who didn't believe him, Wilfred's expression remained unchanged. As an experienced man, he had his own way of judging things. Perhaps apart from his daughter Anna, no one else could influence his judgment. As Brian recounted his experience, Wilfred watched his face closely, trying to discern any signs of lying.
It wasn't that he suspected Brian had any ulterior motives. After spending these few days together, he could tell that the boy wasn't bad. Moreover, there was no reason for him to harm them. However, they weren't exactly family, so it was better to be cautious.
But as Brian finished his last word, Wilfred couldn't detect any signs of lying. If it wasn't for Brian being an exceptional actor, then everything he said must be true. Although both possibilities existed, Wilfred was more inclined to believe the former.
With his judgment made, he hesitated. Perhaps Brian was just affected by a nightmare. Even if what he said was true, Wilfred wasn't sure if he should take it seriously.
