Chapter 235 An Erotic Dream?

Can’t leave her like that! August told himself. He thus began searching the wards along the passage one after another until he located an empty one at the end of it. He then went back, carried Lucia from the bench to that empty room, and laid her onto the bed gingerly. Her arm suddenly held his neck when he was about to straighten up. Did she wake up? he looked down, body even twitched a little as her sleep was being disturbed, though she wasn't really wakened.

With a sigh of relief, he removed her hand from his neck and covered her with the thin sheets from aside. He even gazed at her with a sense of sympathy after doing all that, though he suddenly to blame himself on this ominous sign.

With a knot in his forehead, August walked out of the ward and headed for the lift resolutely without looking back. As the chilly night wind blew out of the hospital, he became soberer, and was 1/7 14.29% 11:22 D

able to justify his behavior with a theory that the emotion was only due to his sense of guilt for Lucia, definitely not because of anything else. That thought made him feel better, and he went back into his car, instructing Burton to head for the villa.

Lucia woke up the next morning, thinking she was still in a dream when she felt the soft sheets underneath when she turned over her body. That was the best sleep she’d ever had during these days. Yet it felt too true to be a dream, which awakened Lucia gradually. Through her bleary eyes, she just saw the white ceiling her she was lying on the bed of an empty room.

She sat up instantly in panic, "Mom, Dad?" Where were they now?

And how come she was on a bed? Having scrutinized the structure of the room, she came to realize it was a different one from her father's. Lucia got off the bed quickly, though still being she'd slept on the bench at first. Was it due to her sleepwalking? Lucia dared not to go on thinking. She could only rush out of the ward after putting

the sheets away.

Elisa was still sleeping when Lucia returned to their own ward.

Lucia thus stayed on the bench outside, letting her imagination run away with her. She began to remember that she seemed to have had dream last night, in which a man carried her to the bed, and she could smell the faint fragrance from his body mingled with alcohol and something like perfume. What an erotic dream and how shameful it was! Lucia blushed immediately with a quiver.

There came some noise from inside the ward at that moment, which wakened Lucia from her mind-wandering. She turned round more sober by tapping sigh of relief because everything in the dream was so blurry that she had no way to see the man’s face clearly. Or it would just get her rather awkward.

In reality, the hero of Lucia's dream was standing in a dim and damp cellar, where a man was bound and hanging high, whose face was swollen with bruises and ragged clothes revealed the bleeding wounds by the whipping. As August ended by his

gesture to imply his staff to continue the torture. That triggered the man’s pleading in a jarring and trembling voice, "I...I really don't 3/7 42 86% 11:22 D facial expression, as though he hadn't heard the pleading at all. His staff thus went on cracking the whip

about it." The man being tortured was no other than Nolan Vermon.

August replied calmly and coldly, "I know that."

As Nolan had confessed, someone contacted him on the net, sending him a down payment for some mission, and promising to the car. But that man never showed up in reality, only calling him through vocal

meeting, where his voice was distorted and the phone number was a virtual one.

Joshua raised his eyebrows and asked with another puff. "He deserves that." This Nolan boy was seeking for such an outcome when he had done something so cruel to Lucia. August just hated his guts even when he knew he could dig out nothing from Nolan’s mouth. Seeing August wiping his hands with wet tissue, Joshua stubbed his cigarette and reminded, "Don't overdo it. We still need to submit him to the police." "I know how far I've gone." There was a hint of chilliness in

August's eyes. They then went out of the cellar and entered the bright living room after walking through basement. Bond was busy tapping away at his the computer there.

After going a few paces, Joshua eventually asked, "Do you think

Nolan would be related to that matter before?" "They are obviously done by different groups of people."

Bond uttered at the moment, "There's some development here."
