Rebirth of the Wife in Despair by Tess Munoz

Chapter 265 Just A Dream

Eight years ago, Hulbury was nothing more than a rundown city, with the streets filled with hooligans and troublemakers of all kinds.

There were no witnesses to the event back then, nor was there any surveillance footage.

However, Eric never stopped searching over the past eight years.

He had sent her abroad. Besides her asthma, his purpose was to let her leave, forget everything, and start

anew.

“Ah-”

Vera let out a piercing scream that seemed to tear at her throat. When Eric walked into the ward, he saw Vera huddled in a corner, clutching her head and shivering. She looked as if she were in a daze.

“Eric… Eric, where are you?”

Vera’s voice trembled.

Eric half-squatted in front of her, gently cradling her in his arms. “It’s okay now.”

His voice seemed to bring her warmth, stabilizing Vera’s emotions considerably. She could smell the faint scent of tobacco on him, and her hand tightened around his waist. “Z-Eric… I just had a terrifying nightmare. I was so scared… I dreamt that I was covered in blood. It hurt so much… I went looking for you, but… no matter how hard I searched, I couldn’t find you. The director said… you don’t want me anymore.”

“It was just a dream. It isn’t real.” Eric pulled back the curtains beside her, and light began to filter in. “It’s dawn now. I have completed the discharge procedures. It’s time to take you home.”

Vera was trembling, clutching Eric’s shirt at the chest. “But the dream was so real. It was terrifying.”

Eric gently stroked her hair, comforting Vera, who was trembling uncontrollably in his arms.

By the time Vera had calmed down, she wasn’t as pale as before. She quietly held Eric’s hand, and together, they walked out of the hospital.

As she sat in the passenger seat, Eric helped her fasten her seatbelt. The car then smoothly made its way back to Euphoria Condominium.

Eric meticulously cleaned up the bloodstains on the ground. After a tiring night, he only managed to sleep for four hours before heading to the office again.

Sharon was still in the hospital undergoing chemotherapy, so no one was at home to take care of Vera.

Thus, Eric had no choice but to take her to the office.

Meanwhile, Eileen arrived at school, only to find that Vera was not present, which was unusual.
