Kevin has completely put aside the company's business these days, and taken care of Sunny wholeheartedly at home.
Because recently Sunny's mood has been not too good. Since coming back from the outside that day, Sunny has always been awakened by her nightmares in the middle of the night. Not sleeping well at night has led to her poor spirits during the day. She feels tired and spiritless.
Kevin has to coax her so that she will eat more. Kevin wants to know where Sunny went on the day, who she met and what happened. Every time when he asks Sunny, she always keeps silent.
Although Kevin is anxious, he can't force Sunny. He believes that Sunny herself has her own reasons. So in the end, the matter ends up with nothing definite.
Seeing Sunny lose weight day by day, Kevin is so anxious, but he doesn't know what to do.
He thinks of someone, his sister-in-law, Kelly.
After having dinner and coaxing Sunny to sleep, Kevin gives a call to his elder brother.
"Hello, Kevin, what's the matter? Your brother went to take a bath. I'll let him call you back later!" It’s Kelly who answers the call.
"Don't. Kelly, I’m calling for you."
"Ah? for me? What’s up?" Kelly asks Kevin in surprise. It’s no wonder Kelly’s so surprised, because she doesn't have much contact with Kevin. Apart from she’s his brother’s wife and the best friend of Sunny, she and Kevin almost don't speak much.
"Kelly, Sunny has been in a depressed mood since she came back from the outside a few days ago. She didn't tell me who she had met. She has not been able to sleep well these days, or eat well. She is pregnant now. I am afraid that something wrong will happen to her, so I want you to come to see her tomorrow if you’re available."
"Okay, I'll go there tomorrow." Kelly agrees without hesitation when she hears that it’s about Sunny. After all, she and Sunny have been good friends for so many years. Kelly is also a little worried about Sunny's health. After all, Sunny is pregnant now.
"What's the matter? Who called just now?" Ellison asks while wiping his hair with a towel.
"It's Kevin. He said that there is something wrong with Sunny's health and he wants me to come over and have a look at Sunny tomorrow."
"Oh, then you go and have a look tomorrow! Maybe the two have a fight." Ellison nods in agreement and agrees.
After Kevin calls Kelly, he feels a lot more relieved. Maybe tomorrow when Kelly comes, the two girls will talk about everything, then Sunny will be fine.
The next day, Kelly comes to the mansion early in the morning. Maybe it’s too early. The servant tells her that Mrs. Sunny had a nightmare again last night and didn’t sleep until late. So Sunny and Kevin have not woken up yet.
"Nightmares? What nightmare?" Kelly asks the servant with curious.
"Yeah... One day when I passed by, I heard Mrs. Sunny saying she had a dream that Mr. Kevin died! It seems like this." The servant tells Kelly what she has seen and heard that day.
Kelly frowns. She always feels something is wrong. How could Sunny have such a nightmare? Unless something bad has happened to her and it leaves a shadow in her heart, so she has nightmares every day.
"Kelly, you are here." Kevin sees Kelly as soon as he comes out of the bedroom. He’s yawning. The dark circles under his eyes proves that he doesn’t sleeping well.
"Where's Sunny? Haven't gotten up yet? I heard that she had a nightmare again last night. Are you Okay?" Kelly asks Kevin many questions in a series.
"Yes, she had a nightmare again yesterday. After several times scaring, she finally slept peacefully at dawn. She hasn't gotten up yet. You may have to wait for a while." Kevin casually takes two cups of coffee and gives Kelly a cup. Then he just sits on the sofa opposite Kelly.
Kevin is rubbing his temple. He says to Kelly, "I really have no other ways now. So I ask you to come over. I know you and Sunny have been good friends for many years. She will tell you everything. If she continues like this, she and the baby can't stand it!"
"Tell me first, why does she become like this?"
"I was going out to talk about a big project that day. I let her stay at home. I would come back as soon as possible when I finished. But not long after I arrived at the company, the servant at home called me and said she was missing. After I came back and asked the servant carefully, I knew that Sunny made the excuse, asking the servant to find her a ring, to let the servants go away. Later, when Sunny came back, she seemed to be so dejected. I asked her whom she went out to see, but she didn’t tell me. She begged me not to ask her anymore, so I didn’t dare to ask her anymore. It’s just that she has had nightmares since that day. She can’t sleep well every day, and she can’t eat well every day. I really have no ideas.”
Kevin scratches his hair a little annoyedly. He’s very annoyed by his powerlessness. He can only watch Sunny suffer every day.
Just when Kelly wants to persuade Kevin not to be sad, she’s startled by the screams upstairs.
