Hailey was startled by Eleanor’s continuous screams and hurriedly nudged her.

“Eleanor, what’s wrong?”

Eleanor’s consciousness gradually returned, and she slowly opened her eyes, seeing only a worried Hailey, with Bernard and Garett nowhere to be found. She realized she just had a nightmare, dreaming about her past and people she’d rather not see.

“You had a high fever, so I brought you to the hospital,” Hailey said, seeing that Eleanor was all groggy. She helped her drink the water at the side.
