Faux Vows, True Desires

Pinehurst, Hospital.

Janice had a pleasant morning with Lucinda, even without clutching her doll and calling it baby like she usually did.

She had a normal conversation with Lucinda without showing any signs of confusion. However, whenever she saw Ethan, she would call him sweetheart, and her sanity would disappear.

The Anderson family's servant brought lunch which was arranged by Savannah Blue Anderson.

After lunch, Janice started to yawn frequently. Lucinda gently said, "You obviously need some rest."

But Janice seemed nervous, "I'm a bit scared."

"What are you scared of?"

Janice whispered, "I'm afraid that if I fall asleep, someone will touch me, kiss me, and then,"

Hearing this, Lucinda and Ethan exchanged a glance. Ethan's face immediately turned gloomy.

Lucinda signaled him to stay calm and leave the room so she could ask Janice.

Ethan left in silence.

Lucinda sat by the bed, asking with concern, "Is this your dream, or did someone really do something awful to you?"

Janice looked troubled. Given her current mental state, she couldn't figure it out. "I don't know. I keep falling asleep; it's like dreaming, but when I wake up, there's no one in the room." "I'm really scared."

Lucinda gave her a sympathetic hug.

Now that Janice was confused and Lucinda didn't know much about the internal situation of the Blue family, she didn't know who took care of Janice. Were those things really happening or just Janice's dreams?

"Don't be scared now. I'm here; I'll stay with you until you wake up."

Janice smiled, "Really? I haven't dared to take a nap for a long time."

Those things happening between wakefulness and sleep always occurred during her nap, so she was scared of napping.
