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.

“Y-Yellow?” She asked in doubt, but her voice was almost inaudible.

“Good you are awake. You should relax for a while before eating something. Your treatment will

commence tomorrow.”

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.

Therapies and all the stimulation or whatever she went through, failed. So she believed that this doctor would also find nothing.

Matt said curtly, “Your sickness needs to be treated, or else you won’t-”

“You should get things ready for her treatment. You’re talking too much.”

The sound of footsteps could be heard from the door after that and a few seconds later, Maverick walked into the room wearing all black… like always.
