Chapter 244: Let Her Mind Stop Her Heart From Moving.
And slowly, from twenty-four hours since she went unconscious, the clock ticked fast and it became thirty-two hours since she fell unconscious.
The side that had an injury on her head had been bandaged already and the drip that was being injected into her body to provide her strength have been exhausted twenty minutes ago.
After Mr. Williams discarded the drip bag, he also went away and right now, it was just Arissa and Nicklaus in the room with no sound from anything except their breathing.
Nicklaus cleaned her face one last time with the hand towel before starting long at her face.
He moved away and sat on the couch close to his balcony door and from there, he stared at her softly while listening to the raindrops outside.
His mother loved him. Nicklaus was sure his biological mother loved him. She wouldn’t have sent him away the day she planned to kill his father if she doesn’t love him, nor would she have let him live. And the part where she abandoned him and flees, she might not be able to live with herself looking at him in the eyes after what she let him see but whichever way, Nicklaus knew his mother loved him.
That was why he was left shaken for Arissa’s life when he saw what happened. Although Alfred wasn’t her biological father, the man should have had some love for her.
From what he noticed, between Alfred and Laura, Arissa was most likely to pick the man between the two. Precisely, she does mind if Alfred gets hurt.
Back at the hospital, she tried to stop him even with the last strength in her which left him torn about what to do, if he should hurt Alfred or wait for her.
Arissa’s body jerked from her sleep and at that moment, she felt feverish from her deep slumber. The nightmare was reoccurring and this time, it was more vivid.
Unlike the normal times when the dream only consists of Nicklaus lying down in the pool of blood. This time the dream started somewhere.
