Chapter 454: Chapter 454: Deliberate Gentleness
He called Chase and told him to pick up Annabelle Linton.
However, what he didn’t know was that before Chase could arrive, Annabelle Linton had fainted on the side of the road and been taken to the hospital.
When he heard the news, he rushed to the hospital again.
Annabelle Linton had indeed fainted. But as he stood by her bedside, she mumbled incoherently, "Aaron Wyatt, I’m sorry..."
In truth, this scene was from the time right after Aaron Wyatt had died in their past life. Annabelle Linton felt terribly guilty, and now she was dreaming of
Aaron Wyatt.
Leona Grant sneered and slammed the door on his way out.
After leaving, he saw Vivian Yates in the room next door.
The Leona Grant outside the dream also sneered when he saw Vivian Yates. ’Wasn’t she in a car crash?’
’How is she not dead?’
The Leona Grant in the dream had a flash of irritation in his eyes. But seeing Vivian Yates looking at him so pitifully, he felt he couldn’t refuse without losing face and went in to check on her.
"How are you feeling?" he asked emotionlessly.
For some reason, he was slowly starting to feel that this woman was a bit... fake.
"I’m fine, just a little scared. I fainted," Vivian Yates said with an embarrassed smile, dressed in a hospital gown.
However, her head was lowered, so no one could see the smug look in her eyes.
’See? Leona Grant really did leave Annabelle Linton to come see me, didn’t he?’
Leona Grant asked a couple more questions and was about to leave when he saw Annabelle Linton standing in the doorway out of the corner of his eye.
He then sat back down and deliberately began applying ointment for Vivian Yates in a gentle manner.
The old man who had brought Annabelle Linton to the hospital saw her and asked, "Miss, what are you doing here? Why aren’t you getting some rest?"
Hearing this, Leona Grant looked up. When he saw her impassive expression, he slammed the door shut.
The Leona Grant outside the dream cursed under his breath.
But it takes a man to know a man, and he could clearly see the jealousy in the eyes of the Leona Grant from the dream.
’Could it be that this version of me doesn’t hate Annabelle Linton as much as the ones in the previous scenes?’
’Annabelle Linton must be heartbroken right now, right?’
He didn’t understand. He went out to check on Annabelle Linton.
Afterward, he saw Annabelle Linton at a bar, drinking herself into a stupor, downing one glass after another.
"Stop drinking!" He went up to snatch the glass from Annabelle Linton’s hand, but he couldn’t take it.
Annabelle Linton drank for a while longer and, just as he’d expected, something happened: she collapsed in the bar.
Then she was sent to the hospital again, diagnosed with stomach bleeding.
Her grandfather angrily chewed out Leona Grant. Leona Grant, in turn, looked at her with bitter disappointment. He couldn’t believe she’d drink herself to this state over Aaron Wyatt. Furious, he spat, "It’d be better if you died! Annabelle Linton, why don’t you just drop dead!"
Then he stormed off.
A tear slid from the corner of Annabelle Linton’s eye.
That night, after Annabelle Linton had fallen fast asleep, Leona Grant appeared at her bedside. With a grim expression, he took a towel and cared for her all night, leaving again in the morning before she woke up.
The Leona Grant outside the dream, watching this, felt that this dreamscape was especially... chaotic.
In any case, he didn’t understand any of it, nor did he know what the dream was trying to convey.
The white light came again. Leona Grant knew the dream was about to change.
He leaned down and kissed Annabelle Linton, and sure enough, the scene changed.
...
This time, he appeared on a major street.
He stood in the middle of the road as countless cars passed right through him. None of them could touch him, much less kill him.
Just as Leona Grant was marveling at this, he suddenly saw Annabelle Linton driving toward him. He was slightly surprised. But just as he was about to walk toward her, he saw Annabelle Linton’s eyes fly wide open!
"SCREECH—"
A car slammed violently into Annabelle Linton’s car, and Vivian Yates was thrown directly from the window.
[PS: Update complete. For those who are still confused (wipes sweat), this is the last time I’m addressing this: if you don’t understand this dream sequence, go back and read Chapters 68, 231, 221, 182, and 2. The answers are mostly in there. If you don’t get it, you have to go reread them. The story goes premium tomorrow (barring any issues), so remember to read the Chapters in the order I gave. If you’re still lost, join the group chat and ask around. Don’t call me long-winded for repeating this. This morning, a reader gave me a two-star rating because they were confused, and I’m just like... *heh*. I f*cking can’t. Anyway, I’ll shut up now. Hope you’ll all support the premium launch tomorrow! (smile)]
