Chapter 105

Chapter 105

After setting up the time and place with Russel, Stella and I left the hospital

I got in the car and told Stella. “Take me home, please”

Stella looked at me, surprised, and asked, “Your place? Aren’t we going to my house?”

Given my meeting with Russel that night, staying at her place could be inconvenient.

I replied. “Take me to Sunflower Terrace. You should know the way”

Sunflower Terrace was where I lived alone. During my college days, Stella and her friends would often visit me there

Although Stella seemed puzzled, she didn’t ask further. She hit the gas and drove me to Sunflower Terrace.

Once inside, Stella helped me to sit down She sounded worried when she asked, “Are you sure you can live here alone? You can’t even walk…”

I smiled reassuringly at Stella and said, “Tll be fine. I just need some peace and quiet. Don’t worry about me. Go home and drive safe.”

Reluctantly. Stella nodded and said, “Alright. Call me if you need anything”

After she left, I spent the evening zoning out on the sofa

I didn’t know when I drifted off, but I woke up feeling cold.

I had a nightmare. Karina’s corpse was right in front of me. Just as I was about to take a closer look, she suddenly opened her eyes, grabbed my neck, and hissed, “You stole Neil from me!”

I woke up in a cold sweat. To shake off the lingering fear, I quickly switched on the TV and found a noisy drama to distract myself. The chatter from the TV made me feel a little better.

But as I sat there with the TV on, my mind started to wander.
