Chapter 89 - The Dream (2/2)

”Would you believe if I tell you that I dreamed I arrived at the penthouse and watched you preparing dinner in the kitchen?” He told Hailey afterward.

Hailey lifted her head with surprise on her face. A chill came down her spine, hearing Vince's story. It's all because she also had a dream about Vince arriving in the penthouse, which probably by that time around, he was already sent to the hospital and given first aid and taking initial laboratory tests.

That evening, after she cooked dinner and waited for him to come back, she sat on the long sofa and read her lesson, but then she fell asleep.

And in her dreams, Vince confessed to her.

She thought it was all true. But the loud rings of her phone woke her up. It was Hazel calling her to watch the news.

For the first time in a very long time, she feared for someone to disappear from her life. First, her mom died, and then next is her grandma.

And seeing the news that Vince got into an accident made her world suddenly stop. She called Vince's phone, hoping someone would answer it. It was dead.

But she was grateful that Professor Carl came to the penthouse and explained Vince's situation. Just then, she felt relieved, most especially when Fred Shen permitted her to see Vince and take care of him.

She felt helpless that she have to wait until Vincent came out from the hospital because she knew that Madam Hilda Shen would not allow her to see Vince. Gratefully, his dad invited her to come to see Vince.

And now that Vince mentioned him dreaming he arrived in the penthouse, a superstitious belief suddenly struck her head.

She didn't believe it. But her visits to different countries able her to learn about foreign cultures and their beliefs. And one of those is these superstitious events.

Vince said that he dreams of arriving in the penthouse, and she also dreamed of him being home. It was like Vince's soul suddenly wandered for a limited time. And gladly, he found the way back to his body and woke up.

Of course, she didn't believe that, but who knows? Her dreams seem so real. Or is it because her feelings for Vince are that strong? That her heart is wishing for him to appear right in front of her.

”So, is that what you only dream?” She queried after a long moment of her silence.

”Hm... It feels so real that I hug you and kiss you. But then I had drifted away to distant memories four years ago,” said Vince.

Four years ago? What happened? Questions rose in her head. She is curious to know about it.

”My dream was too clear because it is what happened four years ago. I was sitting at this coffee shop. It was my second day in that city. And in two days, I've always seen this girl across my table. No. I am watching her.” Vince began.

Hailey's forehead crease as anticipation overwhelms her. 'Is she the girl Vince's friends and Zenaida are talking about? It was Vince's first love!?'
