Chapter 533 A Bad Dream?



Day Sixty-One...

~~*****~~

[ At Jane's Villa...]

Nathan was sitting on a sofa, his arms were folded over his chest while waiting for Jane. His eyes were fixed on the closed door of Jane's bedroom. She was currently taking a shower.

Nathan had been thinking about her. The way she teased him a while ago and her brave confession of her feelings toward him reminded him of someone— Abigail. Jane was acting like Abigail whom he used to know... the Abigail who could remember him.

Nathan slammed his eyes while rubbing the space in between his eyebrows. 'Perhaps, I am just missing Abigail so much that I tend to see her in Jane's persona.'

"Sigh." Nathan took a deep sigh. He was a little bit exhausted and his brain was making him more tired by just thinking about Jane and Abigail.

Since Jane was not yet done, Nathan decided to take a nap. He lay down on the sofa and placed his right arm over his forehead. He closed his eyes. A few minutes later, he just drifted off to sleep.

Jane came out of her room only to see Nathan sound asleep on the sofa. She smiled and traced her steps towards him. She made sure not to create noise because she didn't want to wake him up.

Jane stood in front of Nathan, just watching him in his sleep. "This guy is devilishly gorgeous." She had the urge to touch and caress his face, tracing his eyebrow, his nose, and his lips.Thi/s chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.co/m

"Why are you still frowning even in your sleep," Jane murmured.

She picked up her phone and took photos of Nathan. She shook her head for doing this silly thing. But she couldn't help but smile as she watched Nathan's photo on her phone screen.

Nathan didn't waste anymore time. He sat up and tapped her shoulders, waking her up. "Jane. Jane! Wake up. You're dreaming!"

Jane gasped as she opened her eyes. Nathan was taken aback when he saw fear in her emerald eyes. She was panting, catching her breath. And when she turned in Nathan's direction, all her fears and worries were washed away.

"Nate..." she called his name in her hoarse voice. Before he could respond, Jane hugged him, burying her face on his sturdy chest.

"W-What's wrong?" Nathan asked her awkwardly. He didn't know whether to hug her back or push her away.

Jane didn't say a word. But Nathan felt her hands tightening her grip on his body.

'Is she scared? But why?'

Jane, on the other hand, tried her best to calm herself down. Her dream was related to the memory she recalled during the hypnosis session with Stephen. She saw herself being tied in a pole. She couldn't move and she couldn't see. Her eyes were blindfolded. She heard different voices, laughing sardonically.

A few seconds had passed, Nathan began rubbing her back as he comforted her. Her breathing was shallow and he could feel the fast beating of her heart. They remained in that position until Jane was able to gather her emotion.

She was surprised because Nathan didn't push her away. He even comforted her. When Jane broke the hug, she saw Nathan looking at her with complicated emotions on his face.

"A bad dream?" Nathan asked her.

However, Jane wasn't ready to share her fears with Nathan yet.

"Nope. I just want to hug you," Jane replied teasingly. Her bright smile returned to her face.

Nathan: "..."

'Is she kidding me?' Nathan narrowed his eyes at her while pursing his lips.

Jane giggled at his reaction. She immediately stood u and grabbed his hand. "Let's go. My father might be awake now. I want to see him."
