Chapter 240 Nightmare (2/2)

”John. John, what's wrong?” Nina sat up and reached to turn the bedside lamp on. The warm orange glow fell on John's face, revealing beads of sweat on his forehead.

His eyebrows were etched with a tight frown, and he looked like he was struggling in his sleep. His breathing grew even more panicked, as though someone was strangling him.

Nina knew he was having a terrible nightmare.

It appeared that every time it rained, he would have nightmares.

”John. Wake up.” Nina was starting to feel a burning anxiety. She stretched out her hands, intending to shake him awake.

Before she could even touch him, his big and powerful hand grabbed her wrist in a vise grip.

John abruptly opened his eyes. An endless darkness swirled within those deep pools, as well as a hint of some cold horror.

His grip was tightening by the second, even as his eyes took on the look of a wild beast being threatened. He looked a lot like he could pounce and dispose of her any moment now.

A chill ran down Nina's spine, and her whole body grew cold.

She had never seen John like this before. His cold and frightening eyes were filled with panic, and his overly vigilant expression made Nina's heart ache.

What did John dream of?

What had he suffered through in the past?
