Chapter 990: I Don’t Trust Others to Examine Tina’s Body That night, Tina had a nightmare.

In her dream, Claudia was desperately trying to kill her. At the critical moment, Uncle shielded her from a fatal blow, collapsing lifelessly in front of her eyes. She went mad trying to save him, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't wake him.

The scene was so vivid that Tina felt a crushing pain in her chest, as if her heart had stopped beating. She wanted to call for help, but her voice wouldn't come out.

When she woke up, the suffocating pain from the dream lingered, unbearably real. Clutching her chest, Tina couldn't speak.

Jared noticed immediately that something was wrong. He sat up, turned on the light, and saw Tina's pale face.

"Tina!"

He quickly pulled her into his arms, patting her back gently. After a few moments, Tina finally managed to catch her breath.

"Uncle, I'm fine. It was just a bad dream."

Jared got up, poured her a glass of water, and wiped the cold sweat off her face. "What could've caused such a nightmare? Have you been overthinking things lately?"

Tina shook her head, still trying to steady herself.

Since coming down from the mountain, she had occasionally dreamed of her childhood with her mother but had never experienced anything like this-pain that carried from the dream into reality. It was unsettling, impossible to ignore.

Jared frowned deeply, the lingering fear evident in his expression. He got up to leave. His worry ran so deep that he forgot to correct himself when speaking. "I'll call Master and have her come over."

Tina grabbed his arm, her voice tinged with exasperation. "Uncle, it's the middle of the night. Mom is still sleeping."

Jared hesitated, then suggested, "Fine, I'll call Master Tam to come take a look at you."

Tina sighed. "Master Tam has gone back to Serenity Ridge this time..."

Jared froze, considering who else could help.

Tina let out a soft sigh, her tone light. "Uncle, come here and hold me. Watching you pace around is making me dizzy."

Jared walked over and pulled her tightly into his arms, his body tense. "I'm taking you to the hospital."
