Elizabeth could only lie on her back because of the pain on her waist. After a long time, she inevitably felt a pain on her back.
It was not easy for her to fall in sleep again. She had not been injected for a long time. She had had a very messy day. Without the help of sedative infusions, even though she had fallen asleep, her mind was still in a mess.
Those fears kept her having nightmares.
James, who was in the next room, had not slept since he entered the room.
It wasn't like he wasn't tired. He also wanted to sleep well. In the past few days, he was really exhausted.
But somehow, he lay on the bed tossing and turning, and he couldn't sleep. He tried to force himself to go to sleep. But as soon as he closed his eyes, Elizabeth's face was clearly reflected in his mind.
He had no choice but to get up and lean against the bed. He smoked a few cigarettes, but his mind became clearer and clearer, and his sleepiness completely disappeared.
He was worried that Elizabeth would unconsciously scratch the wound on her body when she fell asleep. After thinking for a while, he directly got out of bed. Then he sat in the wheelchair, and went out of the door. This kind of high-level VIP ward had compartments. Outside was the living room, and the ward was inside.
When he arrived at the door of Elizabeth's ward, James suddenly lost the courage to go in and see what was going on. In the end, he only listened carefully for a moment outside the door to make sure that there was no sound in the room. He was relieved and was ready to go back to his room.
Just as he was about to press the remote control, he heard an extremely panicked scream coming from the room.
Frightened, he threw away the remote control in his hand without thinking. Ignoring Isaac telling him that he should walk less in recent days, he stood up from the wheelchair and pushed open the door of her ward vigorously.
Elizabeth, who had been dreaming, had finished dreaming one after another. She felt tired, but she couldn't get rid of these annoying nightmares.
At this time, she dreamed that she came down from the back mountain as she had done in the afternoon. Humming a song, she saw James walking toward her step by step and even smiling at her. She also smiled, and her pace was faster. But just as she was about to reach James's side, he suddenly smiled at her with malicious intentions, and then roared to her with a sinister smile. In an instant, he turned into the black shadow she saw in the afternoon. The shadow flickered and shook a few times, then it turned into a terrifying monster with many legs. The monster kept twisting those legs, and came at her with great speed. She tried to run, but the monster wrapped its feet around her tightly. She struggled hard, but she couldn't get away. Finally, she watched those feet turn into black snakes with fiery red wicks. She was so scared that she couldn't even make a sound. Those cold snakes all over her body were too much. Her whole body was getting cold and numb. She felt excruciating pain. The monster saw it and laughed in horror. Then it mercilessly opened its mouth wide towards her...
In the end, she might be too scared, so she forced a scream from the depths of her throat—
"Ahhh—"
When James looked at Elizabeth, who kept shaking her head and sweating profusely, he knew that she was having a nightmare. He shouted anxiously, "Elizabeth, wake up!"
But it didn't work. She seemed to be even more scared. Her whole body was shivering and her eyebrows were tightly wrinkled.
"Hey! Elizabeth, wake up!"
With this, he reached out his hand to pat her face. "Elizabeth!"
Elizabeth had thought that she would be eaten by the monster in her dream. But just when she was completely desperate and no longer putting up any resistance or struggle, she vaguely heard someone calling her name.
The voice was so familiar that she knew it was from James.
Because of this sound, the monster in front of her disappeared in the blink of an eye. The night was gone, and the sun lit up the whole earth in an instant.
Her heart fell down. The relaxation after extreme fear made her feel a little weak. She couldn't take it anymore and began to cry.
