Chapter 278 Did You Have A Nightmare

In the end, the two men were taken out of the place. Seeing this, their wives hurried after them in panic.

It wasn't until they were out of sight that Jonathan finally saw Rachel standing by the door. Her glassy eyes stared at him in a daze. She was still trying to process what the other men were saying.

With a tinge of panic written all over his face, Jonathan walked up to her and squatted down. "You're awake," he noted.

She quickly avoided his outstretched hand as if it had been drenched in poison.

Although she was still young, she understood what the men were trying to say.

Jonathan blinked in astonishment at the sight of her flinching under his touch.

He tried to smile. "What's wrong?

Did you hear their nonsense?" This time, his voice sounded much farther away. Rachel squinted her eyes as she tried to follow the sound of the voice.

"Rachel!" Jack finally shook her out of her dream. When Rachel finally opened her eyes, she could feel tears sliding down her cheeks. At that point, she looked like a child who had been bullied as her innocent and confused gaze turned to him.

"What's wrong?

Did you have a nightmare?"

"I don't know," she stuttered out. Her voice was hoarse.

Jack's thumb slid down her face, wiping away the tears. "You were crying."

"Was I?"

days.

Lea explained secretly, "Actually, his father only did that so Henry's grandmother will feel sorry for him."

Rachel furrowed her eyebrows.

Lea added, "Yesterday back in the ward, he was so angry that he almost put a knife on Alice's neck.

I obviously didn't get myself into that. I just watched it happen."

In fact, she was only putting it mildly. The scene was actually more complex than any of them had imagined.

Henry's father was incredibly manipulative.

He kicked Henry out of the house so that his mother would feel sorry for Henry.

However, she still doted on Alice more.

Due to this, his father must soothe her in an effort for her to side with them.

Although the old lady favored her daughter, it would be inevitable for her to feel sorry for her own grandson.

Seeing as he couldn't go against his mother directly,

he decided to go around this with his own cunningness.

Besides,

he also did this to win Lea's father's sympathy toward Henry.

They still didn't inform her father about what had happened between Lea and Alice. They just said Lea went out to meet Henry.

Lea's father was furious that he forbade his daughter from entering his house.

This was why Henry's father kicked him out too. This time, they would have an excuse to be together.
