Chapter 235 - Strange Dream (2/2)

As she was about to approach her, she saw a spider descending from the roof.

The woman seemed silent, lost in her daydreams and still staring out the window. She had absolutely no idea that a spider had descended on her head. Anya rushed towards her and threw the spider away.

However, when she turned around, Anya found another spider that was darting towards the woman.

Anya did not have time to think and kept wagging her hands to keep the animals away.

But her efforts were in vain. The more she tried to get rid of them, the more spiders came down to the woman. The spiders didn't run away and instead came closer to them.

Seeing the worrisome situation, Anya hurried over to the woman who was still sitting silently. ”Get out of here. There's a lot of poisonous spiders!”

But the woman ignored her. She muttered incoherently, not knowing what she was saying. The woman was completely unaware that danger was approaching her.

Anya had no other choice but to chase away the spider alone.

Suddenly, the woman shouted loudly. She raised her hand and grabbed her neck. Anya turned around and saw a very terrifying spider escaping from the woman's body.

”Are you alright?” Anya ran to the woman in panic.

The woman's head limped and her body laid on the ground. When she fell, a loud voice was heard.

At that time, Anya could only see the woman's face. She immediately screamed and woke up from the strange dream.

”Anya, don't be afraid. Everything is alright. That's just a nightmare,” Aiden immediately pulled Anya's body into his arms. He patted her back, trying to calm her down.

”Aiden, I ... I dreamed of your mother,” Anya looked very scared. She buried her face in Aiden's arms.

Aiden's face slightly changed when he heard this, ”Don't be afraid. I am here.”

Anya struggled to take a deep breath and exhale, trying to catch her breath and calm herself. ”Aiden, how did your mother die?” her voice trembled slightly as she asked.

”Why are you suddenly asking about it?” Aiden didn't believe in mystical things. He was just worried that Anya had been thinking too much since returning from the cemetery.

”I dreamed of seeing your mother in a house. There are lots of spiders in the house. I couldn't get rid of it so one of the spiders bit your mother's neck,” Anya said in a low voice. The dream felt so real that it made her terrified. ”I'm really useless. I couldn't save your mother even in a dream.”

”It's just a dream. Don't worry about it,” Aiden kissed the tears that fell from the corner of Anya's eyes. He hugged and stroked Anya's head gently.

After crying, Anya finally calmed down. ”You haven't told me how your mother died.”

”My mother died from a poisonous spider. When one of the servants found her the next day, my mother was lying stiff and dead,” Aiden calmly said.

When she heard this, Anya's eyes widened. She couldn't believe her ears. Why did it sound exactly like her dream? ”The spider that bit her is poisonous?”

”Right. My mother's place should be very clean. But at that time, there was a downpour in the city for weeks. Many insects and animals began to appear. Snakes, mice, ants, all those animals come into the house to take shelter, including spiders. Even though my brother was suspicious, he couldn't find any evidence. In the end, the case was closed.” Aiden calmly said. ”Do you suspect that there is something wrong with my mother's death?”

”I don't know what happened that day. This is just a dream. But why do I dream of strange things after returning from your mother's grave? I feel there's something strange about this,” Anya muttered.
