Chapter 309
The two of them quickly left the house, hopped into the car, and headed toward the outskirts. As they drove, Elijah unexpectedly dozed off, tired from the day’s events.
His sleep was far from peaceful, and he found himself in a peculiar dream. In the dream, he was inside a bare and simple cabin. Suddenly, a deafening gunshot echoed from outside the door. He felt a sharp pain in his chest, and looking down, he discovered a bullet had pierced his heart, and his entire body was instantly stained red with fresh blood.
In shock, Elijah turned around. In the dim light, Sheena stood by the door, coldly pointing a gun at him. Her face was cold, and her beautiful eyes were devoid of warmth, cruel and merciless.
“Why…” He choked up, tears welling in his eyes, wanting to approach her and understand. He took a few steps forward, but suddenly, his vision blurred. Everything turned red with blood, and he could not even see the person in front of him.
“Mr. Freeman? Mr. Freeman!”
With Lionel’s shouts, Elijah was gradually awakened.
“Mr. Freeman, we’ve arrived. There’s a path above. We need to climb up to avoid Jennifer’s detection.”
Elijah’s mind was still a blur, and he instinctively looked down at his heart. Even though it was still beating rhythmically, the intense pain from the dream felt too real. Suddenly, Sheena’s cruel expression flashed before his eyes, and his heart throbbed painfully.
Lionel sensed that something was off as Elijah’s face was pale. He touched Elijah’s forehead with his hand to check for fever.
It was icy cold–no signs of a fever.
“Mr. Freeman, what’s wrong? Where are you feeling uncomfortable? Mr. Freeman!”
Lionel’s continuous voice pulled Elijah back from the eerie nightmare. His complexion gradually returned to normal, and he stepped out of the car.
“It’s nothing. Let’s go.”
As Elijah headed from Ocean Avenue to the outskirts, Nathaniel received news shortly afterward.
Learning about Elijah’s movements, Nathaniel asked, “Why is he going to the outskirts?”
The messenger, head lowered, replied, “It seems he’s going to meet a woman.”
A woman? Nathaniel smirked as he remembered Elijah intentionally seeking Sheena’s. attention at the police station and acting pitiful at the entrance. Moreover, Elijah gazed at Sheena affectionately, as if his heart and eyes were filled only with Sheena.
Yet, he actually sneaked off to see another woman behind Sheena’s back?
How interesting.
“Find out who he’s meeting and investigate the whole incident thoroughly. I want to see all the information as quickly as possible.”
“Yes, Mr. Nicholls.”
