Trouble in Paradise by Three Way

Chapter 0648

In the darkness, countless white photos were falling over me, like bullets piercing through.

I dreamed that the helpless person seeking rescue was me, lying on the ground, watching as photos floated down from the sky, burying me completely...

I couldn't make a sound, couldn't move a muscle. There was no strength left in my body.

I woke up with a jolt, gasping for air, my face drenched in cold sweat.

My blurred vision gradually became clearer, and I saw Nicholas's slightly haggard face full of anxiety.

"Ari?" He called me again. As he waited for my response, it felt like time stretched infinitely.

I slowly raised my hand and grabbed Nicholas's arm. I wanted to speak, but tears fell first.

"Are you feeling unwell? I'll call the doctor right away!"

Only then did I notice that I was lying in a hospital bed. "Nicholas, how is the person who saved me?"
