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...

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!"
