Chapter 190: Nightmare

After some time, Sang Wan suddenly jerked. It was as if she was having a nightmare, and her breathing turned messy. Her eyebrows were creased together and her serene expression was filled with pain and anxiety. Shi Fengju was startled and wanted to wake her up, but she suddenly cried out, “Lord! Lord!” That voice was full of despair and contained a large amount of pain in it which caused shivers down his spine.

“Sang Wan! Sang Wan!” Shi Fengju was frightened by her sudden change and gently shook her to wake her up, “Sang Wan, wake up, wake up. Did you have a nightmare? Quickly, wake up!”

For a long while, Sang Wan just stared blankly as if she was immersed in some sort of inexplicable state of mind. Her immense pain and sadness was something Shi Fengju had never seen before in his life. He could not help but think to himself just what kind of pain she had gone through to have such an expression. Just what happened to Sang Wan!

“Sang Wan, Sang Wan”, Shi Fengju became a little anxious and held her hand tightly as he lowered his head to kiss her cheek, “Sang Wan, did you have a nightmare? Don’t be afraid. I’m here. Lord is here, Sang Wan!”

Sang Wan raised her gaze stiffly to look at Shi Fengju, her clear eyes covered with tears. After a moment, she finally returned to her senses and said coarsely, “Lord?”

“Yes,” Shi Fengju saw that she had returned to her senses and secretly heaved a huge sigh of relief, tightening the hand that was around hers as he smiled, “Aren’t I accompanying you here? Did you have a nightmare? En?”

Sang Wan was stunned. She shook her head, then nodded again. What she had dreamt of just now was about her past life when she was all by herself to endure the pain. There, her head ached badly and she was feeling feverish, cold and hungry, but there was no one who cared about her.

Her life or death, nobody cared at all! Even she did not care anymore as another moment of living was nothing but torture.

“Don’t be afraid,” Her pained expression made Shi Fengju’s heart ache and he subconsciously wiped the tears off her eyes as he said gently, “Sang Wan, don’t be afraid! Don’t be fooled, it’s only a bad dream!”

“Really?” Sang Wan asked in a daze. Was it really just a dream?

Shi Fengju said with amusement, “Of course, look, am I not right beside you?”

Sang Wan’s nose turned sour and she could not help but lean on Shi Fengju while sobbing heavily. It was only a bad dream, just a distant dream! He was right beside her, at this moment, he was really just right beside her.

“Don’t cry, don’t cry!” Shi Fengju’s heart sank all of a sudden, and he patted her back as he consoled her in a gentle tone. Her despaired crying made Shi Fengju think twice about whether it was really a dream or something which she had gone through personally! After realizing that point, it made him feel even more uncomfortable.

It took a good while before Sang Wan’s crying gradually became a soft sob. Shi Fengju slowly let go of her and took her handkerchief to wipe her tears. His heart was in anguish upon seeing her red swollen eyes and he asked gently, “Sang Wan, what did you dream of to make you this upset!”

Hearing him, Sang Wan felt pain in her heart again and she whimpered in between her sobs, “I dreamt, I dreamt of you no longer wanting me! I——”

Shi Fengju’s heart felt as if he had received several blows and his face turned extremely pale. He pulled her into his strong embrace with one jerk and clenched his teeth to say every word clearly, “What are you saying! Why would I not want you! You are not allowed to have such dreams anymore!” Her dream seemed so surreal!

Sang Wan said with difficulty, “You’re holding me too tightly, I can’t breathe!”
