Loved You Once But He's My Forever

Chapter 544 Trapped

"Grab onto me, I'll pull you up."

"I can't! I am tired already."

"Don't let go!"

Anna screamed, waking up from a nightmare.

She had a terrible dream about falling into the water, separated from her sister and being engulfed by the waves.

Thankfully, it was all just a dream.

But she quickly realized something was wrong, because the surface beneath her wasn't her soft bed at home.

The room didn't smell like the candles at home either. She was sleeping on the cold floor, surrounded by darkness.

Her clothes were damp and were clinging to her body, making her feel very uncomfortable.

She sneezed.

At less than six years old, she understood some things, but not much.

She was clueless about what had just happened. She sneezed again and rose slowly from the floor.

Where was this place?

Her height was just enough to reach the doorknob. She turned it, pushed the door open, and found a long corridor outside.

The corridor led to several rooms. Anna had just arrived and was unaware of what was happening.

The place was gloomy. It made her feel uneasy. Unlike the beautiful and delicate rooms at home, the walls were roughly plastered with cement. Even the wall lamps were ghastly white.
