The Million-Dollar Heart

That night, Vivienne was tormented by a nightmare.

In her dream, Abigail was desperately trying to kill her, but Mr. Wolf, in a heroic act, took the fatal blow for her and collapsed right in front of her eyes. Vivienne, frantic, tried everything to bring Mr. Wolf back, but he wouldn't wake up.

The scene felt so real that Vivienne's heart ached unbearably, as if she couldn't breathe.

She tried to scream for help, but no sound came out.

Waking up, Vivienne felt a tightness in her chest, the suffocating pain was just like in her dream, too real to ignore.

She clutched at her chest, speechless.

Percival, sensing something was wrong with her, immediately turned on the light and saw Vivienne's pale face.

"Vivienne!"

He quickly picked her up and gently patted her back. After a few minutes, Vivienne managed to catch her breath.

"Mr. Wolf, I'm okay now, it was just a dream."

Percival got up, fetched her a glass of water, and wiped the cold sweat off her face. "Why on earth would you have such a nightmare? You must be overthinking something." Vivienne, having caught her breath, shook her head.

Since coming down from the mountains, she occasionally dreamt of her childhood with her mother, but never experienced anything like this.

This pain that extended from her dream into reality was definitely not normal.

Percival, his brow furrowed with lingering fear, was about to step outside. "I'll call the doctor, have her come over."

Vivienne stopped him, "Mr. Wolf, it's the middle of the night, she's probably asleep."

Percival frowned, "Then I'll call Finnian to have a look at you."

Vivienne sighed, "The doctor has really gone back to Emerald Mountain..."

Percival paused, trying to think of someone else who could help.
