The Million-Dollar Heart (Percival and Vivienne) novel Chapter 990

That night, Vivienne was tormented by a nightmare.

In her dream, Abigail was desperately trying to kill her, but Mr. Wolf, in a heroic act, took the fatal blow for her and collapsed right in front of her eyes. Vivienne, frantic, tried everything to bring Mr. Wolf back, but he wouldn’t wake up.

The scene felt so real that Vivienne's heart ached unbearably, as if she couldn't breathe.

She tried to scream for help, but no sound came out.

Waking up, Vivienne felt a tightness in her chest, the suffocating pain was just like in her dream, too real to ignore.

She clutched at her chest, speechless.

Percival, sensing something was wrong with her, immediately turned on the light and saw Vivienne's pale face.

"Vivienne!"

He quickly picked her up and gently patted her back. After a few minutes, Vivienne managed to catch her breath.

"Mr. Wolf, I’m okay now, it was just a dream."

Percival got up, fetched her a glass of water, and wiped the cold sweat off her face. "Why on earth would you have such a nightmare? You must be overthinking something."

Vivienne, having caught her breath, shook her head.

Since coming down from the mountains, she occasionally dreamt of her childhood with her mother, but never experienced anything like this.

This pain that extended from her dream into reality was definitely not normal.

Percival, his brow furrowed with lingering fear, was about to step outside. "I’ll call the doctor, have her come over."

Vivienne stopped him, "Mr. Wolf, it’s the middle of the night, she’s probably asleep."

Percival frowned, "Then I'll call Finnian to have a look at you."

Vivienne sighed, "The doctor has really gone back to Emerald Mountain..."

Percival paused, trying to think of someone else who could help.

Vivienne sighed softly at him, "Mr. Wolf, come hold me, you pacing around is making me dizzy."

Percival approached, his body tense, and hugged her tightly, "I’ll take you to the hospital."

The scent uniquely Percival's calmed Vivienne down, "It was just a nightmare, I’ll feel better after some sleep."

Soon after, Vivienne fell asleep in Percival’s arms.

But Percival stayed awake the whole night, holding her until dawn.

The next morning, Percival got ready, waiting for Vivienne to wake up.

Due to the midnight turmoil, Vivienne slept until almost noon. Opening her eyes, she saw Percival sitting by the bed, his eyes slightly red.

Vivienne startled, "Mr. Wolf, what are you doing?"

Percival gently helped her up, "Get up, we’re going to the hospital for a full check-up."

Vivienne, puzzled, "What check-up?"

Percival stroked her head, slowly saying, "I’m not at ease about last night, it’s better to have a check-up."

Vivienne explained, "Mr. Wolf, it was just a nightmare, I’m really fine. Don’t forget, I’m a doctor myself. If there was something wrong, I would know. There’s no need to go to the hospital."

Percival insisted, "Doctors don’t treat themselves, you of all people should know that."

Unable to dissuade him, Vivienne let herself be helped up and dressed for the hospital.

After the check-up, Percival went to the office to pick up the results.

Vivienne went out to buy breakfast, sitting on a bench to eat, missing Mr. Wolf’s homemade breakfast because they left so early.

Her phone rang—it was Draven.

Vivienne answered, "Boss, the information you wanted has been found. Someone from the Hawthorn family did inquire recently."

"Who was it?" she asked.

Draven replied, "A person named Chris Field. He and the person you’re investigating, Delilah, were married but divorced three years ago. He was following Delilah's trail to the Brooks family."
