"Go away... Don't... push me..."
Elizabeth's voice was intermittent and not loud, but her tone was flustered and panicked.
"Punish you!"
She screamed, suddenly opened her eyes and gasped for air. Her forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat.
"Honey." James leaned over and said in a very soft voice, "Did you have a nightmare?"
When he was a child, he heard from others that when someone had a nightmare, he couldn't be woken up abruptly and rudely. Otherwise, his soul would be frightened out.
In fact, he didn't really believe this. But just now, when Elizabeth shook her head and muttered with her face twisted, he didn't dare to wake her up. At this time, he didn't dare to do anything that would be bad for her.
Elizabeth was still immersed in the dream, and she hadn't come to sense completely. The expression in her eyes was addled.
"Honey?"
Elizabeth was stunned. She looked at the things in the room, and then slowly turned her head. Looking at James's worried face, she smiled gently, "You're back?"
James nodded, "Yeah."
"When did you come back?"
"A while ago." Saying this, he smiled, "You were sleeping soundly, so I didn't wake you up."
"Oh."
"What did you dream of? Look at you! You're sweating." After saying that, James reached out to wipe her sweat.
"Nothing. I just dreamed of what happened today." After saying this, Elizabeth sighed helplessly, "It's so annoying."
James didn't say anything, but his eyes darkened a little.
After she came back, she always woke up with a start in the middle of the night.
He knew that what Zena had done cast a shadow on her heart. He was anxious, but he knew that he couldn't be anxious.
However, she was disturbed and scared every night.
When he saw her agonized expression just now, he was heartbroken. Hearing what she said, he felt great hatred for Zena.
Elizabeth sat up on the bed, "I thought too much. She just went to my ward to provoke me. How could she come to my dream?" After that, she smiled bitterly, "Alas!"
James patted her on the back, "It's okay. It's all over. You are safe and sound now. With me by your side, no one can bully you."
Elizabeth curled her lips, "It seems that you think you're omnipotent, but... it sounds good."
James sighed and said with a smile, "As long as you think it's good."
"But, let me tell you. I was brave in my dream just now." Elizabeth smiled triumphantly, "In the dream, I was bullied, and I cried. I called you, but I didn't know where you were. However, I seemed to know everything, and I also seemed to know nothing. Anyway, dream is like that. It was obviously fake, but it gave me a very real feeling."
"So." Elizabeth added, "At that time, I was in despair and felt that I could only rely on myself. I seemed to have magic, and I recited some spells. Then I changed into something. Guess what I changed into?" She blinked her eyes, motioning to James to guess it.
James didn't want to upset her. He looked at her with interest and asked, "What did you turn into?"
