After Death, Love Unveiled

Chapter 58

Barrett's gaze landed on her. "You beard everything"

Elara responded, "She's just worried about you."

Elara's intention was simple. She wanted her father to stay home for a few days and avoid a disaster. Macy would only bring him new troubles. Elara couldn't help but wonder if Barrett was destined for this misfortune. Barrett turned to Elara. "It's only right that I stay home with you. By the way, there's nothing left for you here. You and Lysander should head back. Chloe's here today as well. With them taking care of things, I'll be fine." Elara wasn't ready to leave just yet. "Can't I go back with you?"

She was genuinely worried and wanted to stay by her father's side. With everything that had happened, Elara felt uneasy about leaving him to face the disaster alone.

Barrett smiled warmly at her. "Look at Elara

you. You're not a little kid anymore, still clinging to me Lysander, please take back. She has exams coming up, and she needs to focus on her studies"

Lysander nodded. "Of course."

Elara glanced at Lysander. Seeing that Barrett had made up his mind, she didn't insist on staying. Barrett was out of immediate danger and was recovering now, so there wasn't much more she could do for him. She finally spoke up. "Dad, I had a dream."

"What kind of dream?" Barrett asked.

Elara hesitated for a moment. "I dreamed that right before my SATS, you went on a business trip, and there was a landslide on the highway. I never saw you again after that.

"I'm not trying to be difficult by asking you to stay home with me. I'm just scared. I thought if you stayed home, nothing like that would happen. But even now, you've still been hurt

Even though Barrett was safe for now, the danger hadn't completely passed. Elara couldn't shake her concern and felt the need to warn him.

Hearing her words, Barrett chuckled softly, somewhat helplessly. Dreams are the opposite of reality. How can you still be like a little kid at your age?"

Elara's eyes reddened with emotion, and she murmured, "But everything felt so real in the dream. I even remember the exact date, May 26th. The accident happened on the highway between Lodorwood and Soward Mount." Seeing how seriously she was taking this, Barrett nodded. "Alright, I understand. Once I'm discharged, I'll go straight home and stay with you until your exams are over. I won't go anywhere, okay?"

"Elara may have grown up, but she's still just a kid. Barrett thought. Otherwise, she woulda't be saying such childish things.

Elara nodded. "Okay."
