Chapter 1209

Chapter 1209 She used to think that even if a man loved a woman deeply, his love wouldn’t last long. Since Zora was dead, Luke’s memories of her would gradually fade away. As time went by, he would completely forget Zora one day. Even if he had no affection towards her, he might take a fancy to other women. Eileen even imagined that maybe one day, Luke would show up with a more beautiful woman than Zora and divorce her. However, she didn’t expect that he hadn’t forgotten Zora for so many years. Instead of being a cold-hearted man in love, he was quite spoony. Eileen had thought she wouldn’t feel anything after hearing Zora’s name again. But it turned out to be self-deception. The living could never compare with the dead. Her sleepiness dissipated, and sadness rose in her like a tide. Lying on her side, she looked out the window. In the cool of the evening, the sky was filled with faint moonlight. Maybe in the dead of night, it was easier for people to have an emotional breakdown. Feeling inexplicably wronged, she suddenly burst into tears. Unable to hold back her tears, she wept uncontrollably. She didn’t make any noise, but silently wiped away her tears. On the other side, Luke was still frowning deeply. Overwhelmed by anxiety and fear, he grasped the sheets under him even in his sleep, and the veins stood out on the back of his hand. In his dream, he was standing on the left side of the mountain, with Zora standing on the right side. There was a cliff between them. He watched helplessly as a ferocious and obscene man advanced upon Zora. She retreated step by step, but behind her was a cliff, and she had nowhere to escape. The middle-aged man stood in front of her with a disgusting smile. Luke’s heart was in his throat, and he wanted to run over to save her. But his legs and feet seemed to be fixed on the ground, which made him unable to move. He was anxious, angry and flustered, but he still couldn’t move his body. The man had ripped off Zora’s coat, and her body was exposed in the air. Then she put on a determined look. Knowing what she was going to do, Luke shouted and cursed that middle-aged man desperately. Zora shot a plaintive glance at him, and then she closed her eyes and jumped off the cliff. Luke felt like his head was bursting, and he kept screaming like a lunatic. Right at this moment, Zora’s body suddenly appeared at his feet. Her clothes were taken off, and her body had gone bluish-purple and stiff. What was worse, her face was mangled beyond recognition. It seemed that someone had cut her body with a knife, which caused all her skin and flesh to turn outward. Her eyes had become greyish white, which looked quite frightening. Luke couldn’t help gasping in fear. He was so shocked that his breathing became faster and faster. Then he suddenly opened his eyes. Only then did he realize that he was dreaming, but this dream was too real! He closed his eyes and tried to calm down. Gradually, his breathing returned to normal and his chest stopped rising and falling rapidly. After coolness came back to him, he took a look at the mobile phone and saw it was 7:30 am. Due to that nightmare, his forehead and temples were still painful. Luke raised his head and began to massage his temples with both hands. There was no one beside him now, which meant Eileen must have got up. In the dining room. Eileen was cooking breakfast now. Brad was already dressed up. With a cup of warm water in his hand, he asked, “Mom, did you sleep well last night?” “Not bad.” She was pouring soup into bowls. “Will Dad sleep here every night from today on?” He looked up with curiosity and expectations. Eileen never made empty promises to her son, so she said, “He may stay overnight occasionally, or he may never stay overnight again.” Brad’s head instantly drooped dejectedly. It could be seen that he was a little disappointed. Then he said, “Mom, you can cook delicious food. If you make a lot of dishes to dad’s taste, maybe he won’t leave us.”
