A heavy uneasiness settled in Luca's heart. She wept and shook her head, tightly holding onto Old Man Rayne's hand. "No, Grandpa. You can't leave me. I haven't had the chance to properly take care of you yet. Besides, you have another grandchild now. Grandpa, stay strong. Don't give up, okay?"

A faint glimmer flashed across Old Man Rayne's eyes. "Another grandchild?"

"Yes. She hasn't met you yet. That's why you must stay alive." Luca held his weathered hands, knowing that this was not the real world. Everything around her seemed hazy. It was probably just a dream.

Even though dreams and reality were opposite, the uneasiness in her heart persisted as she was dreaming about Old Man Rayne.

She did not want anything bad to happen to him, even if it was just a dream.

Hence, she continued to convince Old Man Rayne, giving him hope and encouraging him to stay alive.

“Bianca..." Old Man Rayne's weary voice came through but gradually faded.

Luca subconsciously opened her eyes. Everything was bright before her. She could smell the faint scent of disinfectant in the air. Tears welled up in her eyes.

Luke looked down and noticed her teary eyes. "Why are you crying?"

"My eyes are a little dry." Luca shook her head and sat up. She could not tell him about the dream she just had, afraid that it might come true.

In her dream, Old Man Rayne had called out to her just before she woke up. It kept echoing in her ears. Luca clenched her fists tight.

Luke reached out and gently rubbed her fingers.

Luca was startled for a moment and loosened her grip. Luke held her hand tight.

"How long was I sleeping?" Luca suddenly asked. The pain in her dream felt so real. She had no idea how long the dream lasted.

"Less than half an hour," replied Luke. He had been keeping an eye on Luca. When she closed her eyes, he did not think that she was asleep.
