2732 A Nightmare (2/2)

The baby's wicked smile terrified Gu Xijiu. For a moment, she thought she was holding an evil being in her arms. Utterly shocked, she screamed out loud and abruptly woke up from the nightmare and realized that she was still in her bedroom with no sign of any baby girl.

Her heart still thumped with fright, and her entire body was drenched in sweat.

”What is it? Did you have a nightmare?” Di Fuyi gently rubbed her forehead.

With a sigh, Gu Xijiu nodded.

”What was the dream about?”

Gu Xijiu paused for a second. In an instant, she had forgotten what the dream was all about. She could roughly recall seeing a beautiful child who referred to her as 'mother.'

There was only one child who would call her so. She immediately assumed the dream was about Hao-Er.

”I think the dream was about Hao-Er.”

”What about him?”

”I barely remember what happened. I only know it was a nightmare.”

She suddenly became nervous. ”By the way, we have not heard from him in a while. Has something bad happened to Hao-Er?”
