Chapter 698
“Lucinda, Lucinda…” he whispered her name with a hoarse voice.
Suddenly, she woke up from her deep sleep and realized with relief that it had all just been a nightmare.
She checked the time on her phone and realized it was only two in the morning.
Still lost in thought about her vivid dream, Lucinda sat up in bed.
In her dream, Nathaniel had called out her name in despair and affection, the memory of which remained with her even now.
It had all felt so real, too real for comfort.
Unable to shake off the uneasy feeling, Lucinda decided to call Nathaniel.
As she dialed his number, her anxiety grew when he didn’t answer.
“Why wasn’t he picking up his phone?”
She continued to call him, but each time the call was automatically hung up after a few rings, leaving her more and more flustered.
Finally, on her fourth attempt, he answered the phone.
She heard his low voice on the other end of the line.
“What’s wrong?”
Nathaniel’s voice came through the line.
Lucinda breathed a sigh of relief before grumbling, “Why weren’t you answering the phone.
”
“I was asleep,” he answered.
He did sound a little groggy and exhausted.

“It’s so late, why haven’t you gone to bed yet? Did something happen?”
“Nothing happened.
I just… can’t fall asleep.
”
“In that case, would you like me to stay up late with you?”
“Okay,” Lucinda answered in a quiet voice.
She thought about the dream she just had, and her tone turned serious.
“I’d like to remind you once again that you are not allowed to step outside the villa in the next two days.
And turn your ringtone to the maximum volume.
I want you to answer as soon as I call, no matter the time and place.
”
Nathaniel was silent for a moment.
“Okay, sure.
Well? Are you getting sleepy?”This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
