Chapter 423
Catelyn stared at her bed, and it took her a while before she regained her senses. Once she did, she took the cellphone by the bed and turned off the alarm. At that moment, the breeze blew into her room and made Catelyn’s skin tingle, despite wearing her pajamas. She was so cold that she had goosebumps all over her body. What happened?
She remembered how she got dragged into a dark room and was violated by a man. Yet, there she was: awake and still in her apartment.
Was it all a dream?
Catelyn removed the blanket from her form and ran to the bathroom quickly. She then unbuttoned her pajamas and looked at herself in the mirror. Her fair skin was delicate and smooth as usual, without a single hickey spotted. There was no hot, tingling feeling in her lower regions, yet her knees felt strangely sore. It was probably from all the exhaustion from taking the boys to the amusement park the day before, though. It was a dream, after all-a whole strange dream. Catelyn wiped off the beads of cold sweat on her forehead. She was still quivering at the thought of being violated by a man.
The dream just seemed a little too real, so much so that she could hear the man’s rapid breathing Catelyn shook her head and decided to stop thinking about it. Above all, she was not hurt at all, and everything seemed to be fine.
However…
Upon noticing the small bruise on her left knee, her relaxed expression contorted instantly. If Catelyn remembered correctly, she had bumped into the bedside table while she was running away from the man, which happened to be her left knee. Moreover, her knees had no bruises or injuries the day before. Realizing this, Catelyn’s face instantly turned paper-white as her lips quivered.
She took her phone and dialed Joanne’s number.
Due to the time difference, it was currently afternoon in Amarica. “What’s the matter? Are you missing me already?” rang Joanne’s cheerful voice from the other end of the line.
