She Outshines Them All (Athena and Matthew) novel Chapter 449

As Madalyn and Jaylin were finally overpowering the henchmen, Claire was having nightmares again.

In the dream, Zilvia was taken away by pairs of scary claws that reached out from a blurry, dark figure. Then, the claws stretched this small figure, turned around and turned into Joy's face. Her face immediately distorted...

"Zilvia!" Claire screamed and opened her eyes. She was drenched in cold sweat.

"What happened?" The bedside lamp lit up. Wesley looked at Claire worriedly and even got a towel to wipe the sweat off her face.

Claire stared at her husband for a long time before calming down. In a hoarse voice, she said, "No, it's nothing. It was just a nightmare. Go to sleep..."

Wesley shook his head and said seriously, "Claire, do you know that you've been talking in your sleep for the past few days? You've been calling Zilvia's name in your dreams. You've also been calling another person's name. I don't remember their name.

"Tell me, what happened to make you have nightmares every night?"

Claire shook her head and wanted to deny it.

However, Wesley said, "I know my wife best. You haven't had nightmares for many years. Your nightmares have only started recently, and you have them every night. And you're often distracted during the day, so something must have happened.

"Claire, we are husband and wife. We live together and will die together. No matter what happens, you don't have to hide it from me."

Speaking of which, he sighed. "I'll be worried if this continues, and then I'll have nightmares and won't be able to sleep well every night."

When Claire saw the obvious dark circles under her husband's eyes, her heart ached. She whispered, "I-I think I saw Zilvia..."

"Really?" Wesley was shocked at first. Then, he held her arm. He immediately held back his excitement and said, "Where did you see her? How real did it seem?"

"The other girl's name is Joy," Claire said in a low voice. "I have her photo on my phone."

Wesley immediately took her phone.

Claire clicked on Joy's photo. "Look, doesn't she look... very similar?"

Wesley's eyes widened when he saw Joy. He was so excited that his fingertips were trembling.

"I went to a school to see her..." Claire tearfully recounted how she went to Kitmore University to see Joy properly. Then, she cried and said, "Joy said that I mistook her for another person. Her face... doesn't exactly look like Athena's face. I also suspected that I had seen the wrong person."

She stuttered, "But, but..."

Claire finally said what she had been holding back for several days, "I kept thinking about what happened when I saw Joy. I remember she had to get into the car, and she opened the door on the right side of the car with her left hand.

"Zilvia had this habit when she was a child. It didn't matter what side she got in and out of the car from; she always opened the door with her left hand.

"Most people wouldn't do this...I-I think she's Zilvia..." Claire sobbed silently.

Wesley hugged her tightly, his eyes red. "You're Zilvia's biological mother. If you think she is Zilvia, then she might just be.

"Athena already said that she will investigate. Then, we'll just have to brace ourselves and wait for the news..."
