Dream Love : Dream Land - Chapter 141

Arriving at the house she had been stalking at for so long, this time, Melanie didn’t think twice to go straight to the front door of the two storey house and ring the bell.

Ding Dong!

But it was only silence that invited her then. Feeling uneasy in her heart, Melanie rang the bell several times more and also knocked on the door of the house.

“Sarah! Are you there?”

Still no one answered. She even put her ears close to the door to try to hear anything inside but she can’t detact any voices.  Melanie started thinking there maybe Sarah was really on vacation or something and it was just her that thinking too much. But of course her phone that was off and no one can reach her is kind a suspicious.

Feeling defeated, she turned to head towards her car again. In just a few steps there, the feeling of her heart became so strong saying that the girl was in trouble.

With that, she changed her direction and started walking around the house area. Nothing wrong in particular on the outside, but as she sees a window, she tries to peek inside. Luckily the window is not tinted so she manages to see the inside of the house.

But the problem is her vision is being blocked by the curtain that covers the window and just a small gap there that she can see, but even from there she caught a body lying on the floor not moving there.

“Oh my God! Is that Sarah?”  She can’t be so sure as she can’t see the face.

Melanie knocked on the window of the house to see if the body could respond to her making noise, but the body didn’t even move even a little.

She then tried to push the window, trying to open it, but of course she failed that as the window was locked from the inside. She even tries to kick the window after that, hoping it will crash just like what she always saw in the movie, but still the window is too intact and strong. Nothing happens making her confused with herself.

“This isn’t easy at all.” She started murmur to herself while trying hard to be calm but surely she failed with that.

Feeling rushed and frustrated, Melanie walked to the front door of the house again and tried to push the door open and break the lock, but of course she failed that.

“Why our technology is so advanced?! Ugh!” Melanie started to get mad at herself, then while trying, she called 911 for help.

“Hello, I am Dr. Melanie Swift from Korean International Medical College. I think one of my students being attacked by someone at her house. I saw an unmoving body lying on the floor from the window, but I can’t enter this house because it’s locked, the window also locked from the inside. The body didn’t respond. Her phone is off for four days now. Please send an ambulance also police here. ”

“Help will be arriving soon Maam.”

Feeling a bit relieved, Melanie tries to key in the password. Using her phone, she search for Sarah information and try to key in a number that probably is the password that she use. The human mind is too easy anyway. They tend to use a number that is easy for them to remember and usually relates to their lives.

First she tries using Sarah birthday, but it failed. Second, she uses her late mother’s birthday, but also failed.

“Ugh! Where is the help anyway?!” Melanie grew angrier there. As a doctor herself, she knows that every second is important to save someone’s life or it might be too late. Who knows how long the girl has been lying like that?

Thinking for a while, Melanie in her last attempt tries to use Jieun’s birthday there. Miracully,

Klik! Ding Dong Deng!

A sound of the door opening is almost making Melanie jump on her feet. She is definitely feeling too relieved, but her professional mind kicks in fast. She opened the door using her handkerchief, still remembered to be careful not to touch anything, and ran into the living room. The area where she saw the lying body earlier.

Melanie stopped her legs there and gasp a little loud there as she can’t believe in what she is seeing. She is right all along. Seeing there’s faint breath fluctuating from the weak body, she knows Sarah is still alive.

She went to the kitchen and tried to find a kitchen glove so when she inspected her there would not interfere with the police duty to find criminal evidence. Looks like her choice to call for police is a good thing after all.

“Found it.”

Melanie then puts on the gloves and started kneeling next to the girl. There, Sarah lay at the floor with a bloody face here and there. Without hesitation, she then uses her finger to count on Sarah’s breathing while looking at her watch. The girl breath is getting irregular each time now making Melanie feel a little scared.

“Sarah, stay with me.  Help will be arriving soon.”    Melanie told her didn’t care if she hear that or not.

The girl didn’t even move in response to her pleading. Melanie continue to inspect her.  She lifted the girl’s shirt slightly and found very large blackish red bruises on her ribs and abdomen. Her legs and hand also full with old and new bruise.  Scar here and there seems like she is beaten with a belt.

“Damn!” Melanie can’t help to curse.

The sound of ambulance sirens and police kept Melanie awake there and went out to tell the rescuers about her finding and ask them to be careful while handling the patient. As Sarah rib probably broken looking at her condition.

Then, Melanie went to the police there to say her report and tell him what she know and of course about Martin. After finishing her business here, she then drove towards the hospital where Sarah was taken.

Half and hour later,

Melanie seemed with a very nervous face and restless mind waiting in the waiting room near the operating room. Sarah’s condition was so bad that she had to undergo surgery to fix the broken rib and to remove the blood clot in her body.  Just like what Melanie already expected.

She feels a little guilty there because this is happening after she stops coming to watch her. She did not think that Martin was willing to do such a thing to his own daughter. But after rethinking that he is trying to kill her before at their lab and what he did to Alex son, she shouldn’t be surprised by this. But still…

Melanie then sends a message to her others professor friends to proceed with their plan without her as she got this emergency and called Beom-Soo after that.

“Hello Mel.”

After the call was picked up Melanie did not speak there instead just breathed there. She can’t bring herself to say something right away.

“What’s wrong?” He asks with a worried tone of voice now.

“I am at the hospital.”

“What? Where? Send me the address.” Beom-Soo feeling shocked there.  He thought that Melanie is being attack again.

“I’m not the one that get hurt. It’s Sarah. Martin physically assault her, probably after I stop stake out at her house. Her face is full of blood, her rib is broken and there bruises here and there. And now she is undergoing surgery. She didn’t look like herself anymore. Luckily there was no sexual assault but still… I feel… ”

“It’s not your fault Melanie. Did you report this to the police yet?”

“I already did. They investigated on it now and went to search for Martin to be arrested to help with the investigation. If there is strong evidence showing on him, he will be in prison for this.”

“Is there anyone with you right now?”

“Police send their squad here to keep an eye on us because they are worried if Martin shows up here. I have also hired some more bodyguards at Byung-Hun’s house for their safety.

Beom-Soo sigh there.

“Did Byung-Hun know about this?  He need to be prepared too you know.”

“He is in shocked when I called him before to tell him that Martin is alive and it seems like he try to get us. He didn’t refuse the protection that I send to them, but he is on the way here now. Jieun didn’t know yet what had happened to Sarah but she is probably feeling confused as suddenly I ask her not to come to college for a few days. I didn’t want Martin to get to her. Who knows what he is thinking right now. ”

Beom-Soo was silent there.

“So its better if you go to Byung-Hun house now to keep Jieun company. I will be there too after I know Sarah is doing okay.”

“Worry about yourself Melanie. We both know he wanted to get you from the start. Whatever he wanted, you will be the key. So be careful.”

“I will..” But Melanie knows she is not confident at all with what she is saying.
