Chapter 458: Chapter 457: The Tragedy Still Happened
In the dream, Leona Grant got off the plane in a panic. Chase ran over frantically. "Sir, I’ve been trying to call you all day but couldn’t get through! You have to get to the basement, quickly. Ms. Linton has been screaming all day—I don’t know what she heard. She was perfectly safe in there while you were gone, but then Vivian Yates came and replaced all the guards. I can’t get in! Please, hurry and check on her. If you’re too late, something terrible might happen!"
The moment Leona Grant heard this, his face fell. He jumped in his car and sped toward the villa.
’Please be okay, Annabelle. You have to be okay!’
The Leona Grant outside the dream also realized the gravity of the situation and hurried to follow.
「In the basement.」
Just as they arrived, Vivian Yates’s crying voice drifted out. "Annabelle, whatever grudges there are between us, the child is innocent. I love Leona, and this is our flesh and blood. Even if I were willing to let you out, Leona wouldn’t agree, and my conscience wouldn’t allow it. If you insist on blaming me, then you might as well kill me too. If my baby’s gone, I don’t want to live anymore."
Seeing Annabelle Linton was still unharmed, both Leona Grants breathed a sigh of relief.
However, seeing this, the Leona Grant outside the dream suddenly recalled the last time Annabelle Linton had been kidnapped. When he’d gone to save her, he’d been shot three times and had then dreamed of this very scene.
In that dream, he’d seen himself throw Annabelle Linton against the wall twice. In the end, she had died from the impact, and the child in her womb had died with her...
Although it was just a dream, it had been terrifyingly vivid!
Leona Grant watched as his dream self rushed inside.
The color drained from his face. ’No, you can’t go through with the act this time! Leona, you might actually kill her!’
He rushed forward to stop him, but it was completely futile.
The Leona Grant in the dream threw Annabelle Linton aside and roared in anger, "Annabelle Linton, I never knew you were so vicious! Not only did you kill my and Vivian’s child, but now you want to kill Vivian too!"
Seeing the utterly devastated way Annabelle Linton looked at him, the heart of the Leona in the dream was about to shatter.
His dream self ran to Annabelle Linton, holding her and trying to explain. They were still talking, but the real Leona couldn’t bear to listen anymore.
He shouted desperately, "Annabelle Linton! Annabelle Linton, you have to believe him! He’s in love with you! He’s only doing this to protect you! Don’t charge at him, don’t do it!"
But Annabelle Linton, hysterical and weeping, couldn’t hear a word he said.
Leona Grant then ran to his dream self’s side and yelled, "If you don’t want to regret this for the rest of your life, don’t push Annabelle Linton! You’ll regret it! You’ll kill her! She’s carrying your child!"
But no matter what he said, neither of them could hear him.
Annabelle Linton charged forward again.
His dream self flung her away again. "That’s enough, Annabelle Linton! How long are you going to keep up this madness!"
Just then, the Leona Grant outside the dream saw Vivian Yates’s lips curve into a venomous smile. Unseen by the others, she subtly kicked something with her foot. Leona Grant saw it clearly—a few small, round, black marbles!
Just the right size.
As fate would have it, Annabelle Linton stepped right on the marbles. Her foot slipped, and she slammed straight into the wall!
THUD!
The tragedy had happened after all. Annabelle Linton crashed against the wall, a bloody gash opening on her head!
Both Leona Grants froze in shock. The Leona in the dream stared at Annabelle Linton, his eyes wide, completely unable to process what had just happened.
Then, slowly, a pool of blood began to spread from beneath Annabelle Linton’s body.
