Elliot set down his spoon, raised the red wine glass beside him, and offered a distant toast to Caesar, engaging in brief pleasantries with him.
Sheena, unable to drink alcohol, focused on her meal, occasionally bringing up topics and asking Caesar about his opinion on Froania’s cuisine.
After dinner, Elliot stood up and walked toward Sheena, ready to lift her.
Sheena declined, saying, “I just ate. I want to walk a bit and digest.”
Elliot smiled, gently tapping her nose. “Sure.”
He held Sheena’s hand, fingers interlaced, walking side by side out of the private dining room.
Throughout the entire process, Caesar silently watched.
He genuinely admired and wished them well, appreciating the love they shared.
As the trio strolled down the restaurant’s aisle, Caesar decided to exit discreetly, not wanting to disturb the lovely atmosphere before him.
However, at the corridor’s turn, a petite figure silently observed Sheena’s departing figure, a hint of coldness gradually emerging in her beautiful eyes.
Walking ahead, Sheena felt a bit uneasy, as if someone was watching her with hostility. She stopped and looked back, but the long corridor was empty.
Elliot tightened his grip on her hand, asking, “Nana, what’s wrong?”
“Nothing, let’s go home.”
Sheena withdrew her gaze and left with Elliot without looking back.
Late at night-
Since she became pregnant, Sheena has become quite a sleepyhead, and her sleep quality has been consistently good. However, ever since agreeing to return home over the weekend to sign the inheritance agreement, she had been having vivid dreams for several nights, repeatedly the same dream.
In the dream, a girl held Sheena’s hand, sweetly talking to her, calling her affectionately. However, she could never see the girl’s face clearly.
“Sheena, I really like you!
“But I envy you too. Your dad and brothers love you, while I have nothing… I have no family, no home. If only… If you could give me your dad and brothers, that would be great! I’m so sorry!”
As the words reached the end, the little girl’s sweet and soft voice suddenly turned sinister. Moreover, the once innocent little face gradually transformed into a blood–soaked demon.

suddenly, sheen felt weightless, and bone chilling water engulfed her entire body.
She sank into the water uncontrollably, suffocating
“Who are you?”
sheena abruptly opened her eyes, sitting up in bed.
Instinctively, she fooled down at herself, realizing she wore a pristine white nightgom and lying on The familiar and soft bed.
Only then did she realize it was another nightmare.
Although she was now fully awake, the uncomfortable sensation of drowning in the dream lingered as if it were real.
Also, Sheena knew how to swim, so how could she possibly drown?
Elliot, being a light sleeper, woke up as Sheena did. He turned on the bedside lamp, embraced her shoulders from behind, and used tissues to wipe the cold sweat from her forehead, his eyes filled with
concern.
“Nana, did you have another nightmare? Have you been mentally exhausted lately? I’ll accompany you to the hospital tomorrow.”
Sheena took a deep breath, holding onto his hands that encircled her.
Thinking about these recurring dreams over the past few nights, she spoke seriously, “Eli, I have this constant feeling that those dreams aren’t just dreams. They’re events that truly happened before, something from the year I was fifteen, the year of the incident!”
