Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

58 More trouble than she’d expect

Jeslyn suddenly felt excitement coursing through her the moment the person appeared and without further thought, she took the first step to run into his arms, but before she could take the third step, she was yanked out of the tank by the stretchy hand. 1

Jeslyn jerked awake on her bed with sweat all over her. She looked around at the people surrounding her bed.

Both familiar and unfamiliar faces.

Jeslyn turned in the direction of the calm voice and saw it belonged to a young handsome man with white hair.

From his words, Jeslyn could tell he is a doctor.

She shook her head, “I’m fine doctor, it’s a normal occurrence.”

Nightmares of her walking or running in darkness have always visited her once in blue moons ever since she was 16 years old. Her family had tried all they could. Even the best doctors they knew of in Country A couldn’t do much to help her.
