"Jenna, I'll come home tomorrow. Wait for me. Now, go rest earlier," Hansen reassured her. He then teased her. "Watch out, I'll check on your diet records for the past few days. I'll smack your backside if you don't reach my expectation."
Jenna pouted and smiled.
After saying goodnight, they hung up.
However, Jenna couldn't sleep well that night. She tossed and turned around in the bed.
"Jenna, Jenna," a low yet familiar voice rang from her ears. Jenna opened her eyes in shock.
A tall and handsome man was standing in front of her with a gentle and charming smile on his face.
"Hansen, you're back." Jenna gasped. She got up hurriedly with a heart full of joy. The man's face however was vague and Jenna struggled to see him clearly.
She panicked and asked, "Hansen, is that you?"
Jenna reached out to touch him.
She thought she reached out to his arm, but there was nothing in her grasp.
"Hansen," Jenna shouted as she trembled in fear.
"Jenna," the man called out with a warm voice. His voice was soft but clear. He continued to say, "If I'm no longer here, then please take good care of yourself, of the Richards Group, as well as our children."
Jenna was startled!
What did that mean?
"Hansen, why are you saying this? Where are you going?" Jenna asked in a daze with her eyes widened.
The man smiled faintly and stroked her head.
She could feel his hand on her head. She reached out to his hand.
It was ice-cold and trembling.
This was not Hansen's hand. It didn't feel the same. Jenna blinked her eyes in fear as she stared at the man.
She finally saw his face, but it was covered with blood dripping out of his mouth, nostrils, and eyes.
"Hansen!" Jenna cried out in fear, "Hansen, did you hurt yourself? What happened? Tell me!"
She reached out her hands to pull him desperately but all she caught was air. She could only look at him with her eyes wide open.
His figure gradually faded away like the wind in front of her, leaving only darkness behind. It was pitch-black and there was no end to the darkness.
"Hansen, don't leave me," Jenna cried out desperately. Coldness wrapped around her body. She reached out to the direction he disappeared from.
"Jenna, what's wrong? Wake up!" An anxious voice accompanied by a gentle shake woke Jenna up. She opened her eyes wide, and Sabrina was looking at her with concern.
Jenna quickly got up. It turned out that it was just a dream.
She sat there in bed, lost in thought.
"Jenna, did you have a nightmare?" Sabrina immediately took a tissue paper to wipe her sweat after noticing that Jenna was drenched in sweat. She looked pale. Sabrina then said, "It's alright now. It's just a nightmare."
"No, Sabrina. Hansen is hurt! He's injured!" Jenna said with a sob as she held onto Sabrina's arm.
Sabrina was startled. "Jenna, Hansen is in Capital City now. How can he be injured?"
"No, I saw it with my own eyes. His face was covered in blood. It was terrifying. He was really injured," Jenna said as she trembled. She covered her face in her hands and started sobbing.
