Chapter 55

Dream .

Two days later, Zhen Zhen was still unconscious . Yue Gu Zai didn’t care if they couldn’t keep their baby . He only wanted Zhen Zhen to wake up .

Bai Yu Tian was worried for Zhen Zhen and Yue Gu Zai . Yue Gu Zai only talked to ask about Zhen Zhen’s condition .

William Hill was worried about Zhen Zhen and Yue Gu Zai too . He would stop by their bedroom after work to see if Zhen Zhen was awake, but he didn’t disturb them .

William Hill received a phone call from Henry Charles . He quickly drove to the Charles Mansion .

‘William Hill, Helen locked herself in her room for two days,’ Henry Charles said . ‘She won’t let anyone inside . You’re my last hope . ’

William Hill knocked on Helen’s bedroom door .

‘Go away,’ Helen said . ‘I said I don’t want to see anyone . ’

‘Helen, it’s me,’ William Hill said .

William Hill waited for three minutes before Helen opened the door .

‘What are you doing here?’ Helen asked coldly .

Everything in Helen’s room was broken except for the bed . She kept the bedsheet he bought her a year ago .

‘You’re an expert at breaking things,’ William Hill joked .

‘If you’re here to mock me then you can leave,’ Helen said .

Helen sat on the window seat, and she looked outside the window .

William Hill sat on the bed, and he hesitated to open his mouth .

‘Helen, how long do you intend to stay angry?’ William Hill asked .

‘I don’t need your concern,’ Helen said .

‘Why are you hurting yourself and the people who love you?’ William Hill asked .

‘Love?’ Helen asked . ‘Who loves me? No one loves me . I’ve been living a lie for more than twenty years . I deluded myself that I’m living a happy life . I’m a bastard child . My biological father used me as a hostage . My life is a joke . ’

‘Do you think Henry Charles love for you is fake?’ William Hill asked . ‘Yes, he hid the truth from you . Have you asked yourself why he didn’t want you to find out? Because he didn’t want you to be hurting like this . Do you think hurting him will take away your pain?’

William Hill stood, and he turned around to leave .

Helen ran to William Hill and she hugged him from behind .

‘William Hill… don’t leave me,’ Helen said softly . ‘I know what I need to do . ’

William Hill loved Helen like she was his little sister . He turned around and hugged her .

‘Let yourself cry and you’ll feel better,’ William Hill said .

Helen couldn’t hold back her tears anymore and she cried .

William Hill stayed with Helen until she fell asleep .

After William Hill closed Helen’s bedroom door, he went to say bye to Henry Charles .

‘Helen is sleeping,’ William Hill said .

‘Thank you William Hill,’ Henry Charles said . ‘Helen truly loves you . If you’re with her, I don’t need to worry about her . ’

‘You know I see Helen as a little sister,’ William Hill said .

‘I won’t mention it again,’ Henry Charles said . ‘Do you want to stay for dinner?’

‘I can’t stay for dinner,’ William Hill said .

William Hill returned to Ni Sheng’s headquarters to see if Zhen Zhen was awake .

In the bedroom, Yue Gu Zai held Zhen Zhen’s hand and he forced himself to stay awake .

‘How is she?’ William Hill asked .

‘Her fever is gone,’ Yue Gu Zai said . ‘Bai Yu Tian believes she doesn’t want to wake up . ’

‘Boss, Mr Luo Fan is here,’ Cheng Yi said . ‘He’s the best oneirologist . He can help you enter your wife’s dream . ’

‘Phil, do you need to do something dangerous like this?’ William Hill asked .

‘Yes,’ Yue Gu Zai said . ‘It’s my last chance to get Zhen Zhen to wake up . ’

‘Only one person can enter Mrs Yue’s dream,’ Luo Fan said . ‘If after ten minutes that person can’t convince Mrs Yue to wake up then that person will be trapped in her dream forever . ’

‘Phil, it’s too dangerous,’ William Hill said .

‘I’ll do it,’ Yue Gu Zai said .

‘Mr Yue, when do you want to begin?’ Luo Fan asked .

‘Now,’ Yue Gu Zai said .

‘Mr Luo Fan, what do you need us to prepare?’ Cheng Yi asked .

‘I need this room to be peaceful,’ Luo Fan said . ‘Don’t let anyone disturb me during the ten minutes Mr Yue is in Mrs Yue’s dream . ’

‘I’ll stay in here and guard,’ William Hill said .

‘I’ll order the guards not to let anyone in here,’ Cheng Yi said .

Yue Gu Zai laid next to Zhen Zhen, and he held her hand .

‘Mr Yue, relax your body,’ Mr Luo Fan said .

Luo Fan injected a drug into Yue Gu Zai’s arm .

Yue Gu Zai closed his eyes . When he opened his eyes again, he was inside Zhen Zhen’s dream . He saw an adorable chubby little girl sitting in a corner, it was Zhen Zhen .

‘Who are you?’ Zhen Zhen asked . ‘What are you doing here?’

Yue Gu Zai sat next to Zhen Zhen .

‘I’m here to find someone,’ Yue Gu Zai said . ‘I need you to open the door . ’

‘I’m not going to open the door,’ Zhen Zhen said .

‘Why are you sitting here?’ Yue Gu Zai asked .

‘They don’t want to play with me,’ Zhen Zhen said . ‘They said that I’m a book worm . Only book worms always rank first . ’

‘Who are they?’ Yue Gu Zai asked .

‘Big brother and big sister,’ Zhen Zhen said .

Yue Gu Zai didn’t know what Zhen Zhen had to go through at a young age . She was a genius little girl who was smarter than her older classmates . Her classmates must have been jealous of her, and made her an outcast .

Yue Gu Zai rubbed Zhen Zhen’s head .

‘Zhen Zhen, there is someone who loves you,’ Yue Gu Zai said .

‘Really?’ Zhen Zhen asked .

‘Yes,’ Yue Gu Zai said .

‘Liar,’ Zhen Zhen said . ‘Mei Tu sent you here . You want to pretend you’re my friend and get me to trust you . Then you’ll steal my experiments and tell the professors I’m a cheater . I don’t believe you . ’

Yue Gu Zai hugged Zhen Zhen .

‘Zhen Zhen, even if the world lies to you, I promise I won’t lie to you,’ Yue Gu Zai said .

Zhen Zhen didn’t know if Yue Gu Zai was being honest with her . But she let him hug her, and she cried .

The door opened . Behind the door was a photo of Reynold .

‘I killed Reynold,’ Zhen Zhen said . ‘It’s my fault Reynold died . ’

‘Zhen Zhen, look at me,’ Yue Gu Zai said . ‘It’s me, Gu Zai . Reynold is dead . It’s not your fault . ’

‘I don’t want to hear Reynold died,’ Zhen Zhen said . ‘He’s alive . ’

‘Zhen Zhen, Reynold saved you because he wanted you to live a happy life,’ Yue Gu Zai said . ‘He doesn’t want you to trap yourself . Zhen Zhen, think about your parents, our son and our baby in your stomach . Do you want to turn your back on all of us?’

‘Our son and our baby?’ Zhen Zhen asked .

‘Mr Yue, you’re running out of time,’ Luo Fan whispered in Yue Gu Zai’s ear .

‘What happens if I leave now?’ Yue Gu Zai asked .

‘Mrs Yue has a ten percent chance of waking up on her own,’ Luo Fan said .

‘I’m staying,’ Yue Gu Zai said .

‘Gu Zai…’ Zhen Zhen called .

‘Zhen Zhen, it’s me,’ Yue Gu Zai said .

‘Gu Zai, I killed Reynold,’ Zhen Zhen said .

‘Zhen Zhen, don’t cry,’ Yue Gu Zai said . ‘We can’t bring Reynold back to life . We still have our baby to think about . We can’t let our baby die too . Zhen Zhen, let’s go outside together . ’

‘Phil, wake up,’ William Hill said . ‘You can’t die . ’

‘Boss, wake up,’ Cheng Yi said . ‘Ni Sheng needs you . ’
