Chapter 812
"Do you mean someone wants to..." Hurt her?
Carson shook his head. "What I mean is that she needs to overcome her innermost fear! This is beyond my capability!"
"I understand. I will not let the same thing happen to her again!" No matter who it was, he would not spare their life!
"Her condition is not due to a health issue. She doesn't need to take medicine for this. Just give me a call if you need anything!"
After seeing Carson off, Trevor frowned, remembering something. At once, he went out and made a phone call.
Victoria woke up from a sleep feeling groggy. She felt like she had been asleep for a century.
It was dark outside by the time she woke up. She was confused and sat up to look at the clothes she was wearing.
Lounge wear?
"Have I been sleeping all this time?" She asked herself.
Bits and pieces of memories of what happened flashed through her mind and she was dumbstruck. "What happened? Was I dreaming?" She shivered in fear. Instinctively, she rubbed her arms, and felt a stinging pain. She lifted her hand and pulled up her sleeve. An injection hole?NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
Did Carson really come over again? What happened to her? Wasn't her fever gone?
"No..."
Victoria suddenly remembered herself falling backwards with a scream. Just as she was panicking, the lights in the room were turned on. "Vicky, you're awake?"
Trevor walked to the bedside. As soon as he sat down, Victoria grabbed his wrist. "Hubby, I had a horrifying nightmare. I saw a bloody rabbit, its intestines... No, it's not a dream, I..."
Caressing her hair, Trevor chuckled and said, "Okay, okay, you don't have to rush. Speak slowly!"
He was so calm that it made Victoria puzzled. She unconsciously looked up at the door, and then knocked her own head.
"Hubby, I dreamed of... Did you get someone to deliver me a gift box? No, no, someone must have been impersonating you! What I mean is, did we receive a box? It's this big, and in white. It was for me. There's a bowknot on it, and also pink tulips!"
Victoria held Trevor's sleeve. She was incoherent and there was no way she could hide her fear and anxiety.
After capturing the key points from her words, Trevor hugged her tightly and comforted her gently. "We really are connected telepathically. You slept for an entire afternoon, but you still found out that I prepared a gift for you? There goes my surprise."
"What?" Victoria exclaimed as her eyes widened.
"Don't you want to go down and have a look? It should be here already!"
Victoria was confused. She flinched a little. "What would it be? Why isn't it brought upstairs? I have to go down to have a look?"
Playing dumb, Trevor caressed her hair and asked, "What's wrong? Are you still not feeling well?"
Victoria shook her head. At that moment, she was so bewildered that she couldn't distinguish dreams from reality.
"Come on, let's go downstairs together! It's also time for you to get up and have dinner! You're still weak, so you need to eat more! You can't ruin your reputation as a foodie just because you're ill!"
While making fun of her, Trevor pinched her small face and pulled her up from the bed. He also took a cardigan and put it on her.
She took a look at the cardigan. It was different from the one in her memory. Her brows furrowed as she looked at it. After that, Trevor took her hand and led her down the stairs.
As soon as they reached the tea table, the white box on the table came into their sight, the complexion on her face that had just been restored turned pale instantly. She turned around and screamed while covering her face.
"Take it away, take it away! Hubby, Hubby, no! A dead rabbit, a bloody rabbit..."
Trevor held her tightly in his arms. "Vicky, Vicky, what are you talking about? What's wrong?"
"That... dead rabbit. Throw it away!"
Victoria pointed at the gift box. Through the gaps between her fingers, she caught a glimpse of a bouquet of pink tulips on one side of the table. There were also what seemed to be disposable plates, which was different from her memory.
Her gaze fell on them for a moment, before she narrowed her eyes, slowly focusing on what she was seeing.
With his arms around her, Trevor tried to give her warmth and support. "Vicky, what are you talking about?"
Victoria shook her head. She was unsure whether it was a dream or an illusion. Subconsciously, she pursed her lips.
At that moment, Trevor decided to strike while the iron was hot.
"It's my greatest regret that I didn't come back in time to celebrate your birthday! I happened to be free today. Plus, my sweetheart fought
against sickness well and has recovered, which is also worth celebrating. That's why I ordered a cake for you! You haven't even opened the birthday present that I gave you!" He said.
He had always been brooding over it! It was something he had prepared specially for her!
"This is a cake?"
"This box? Why did such a scene appear in my mind? Have I started to hallucinate because I've been reading too many horror novels?" She thought to herself.
"What else could it be?"
Trevor tried to push her forward, but
she stopped before she reached the sofa. Instead of forcing her, he just let her stand there. He walked up to the box and opened it. He unwrapped the two layers of
el
wrapping paper, and a medium- sized cake could be seen. The outer layer of the cake was full of lifelike tulip flowers. There were milk balls on the top of the butter cake and each of them had an egg yolk placed on it. In the middle of the cake were fruits and flowers with a small card.
[Dear Wifey, stay healthy and happy!]
Victoria's eyes were fixed on the word "Wifey". Her mind was instantly occupied by it and forgot everything else. She was just staring at it in a daze, feeling loved.
Trevor took the candles and put them on the cake. He lit them up for her and said, "Blow the candles out. I wish you all the best in life! Sweetheart, you need to get better soon, stay healthy and happy!"
Trevor took the tulips that were at the side of the table, handed it to her, and lowered his head to give her a kiss.
Immediately, Victoria was grinning
l.n
from ear to ear as she blew out all the candles in one breath. She even clasped her hands together to silently make a wish, "I hope that the nightmares will go away soon, and
happiness will come to me!
"Cut the cake! This cake was specially made for you. It's your favorite salted egg yolk!"
"Thank you! Why would I have that kind of nightmare? It's so beautiful! I must have lost my mind because of the fever, but I could've sworn that I saw that in the afternoon..."
"What are you talking about? Look at you, all exhausted. You fainted even before opening the box, scaring the help. Is it because you have not been eating well due to being sick? This won't do. You have to replenish your energy!"
Upon hearing what Trevor said, Victoria blinked her eyes. "Did I really faint in the afternoon?" She thought to herself.
"The box I saw before is the one right here?"
She gave it a second look and concluded that they looked similar. However, why did the...
Had she really been dreaming?
