Dream Love : Dream Land - Chapter 157
After Melanie was shot in her stomach by Martin and fainted in the hospital, she was later found in the world of Dream Land in a state where her stomach felt very sore at the wound site.
She looked here and there while holding on her stomach. She realize that she is now on the bed alone in the room shared with Liam in the palace.
“Why am I here at this time?” She started to get panic as she is supposed to be in the real world at this time. She knows something is wrong when this is suddenly happen.
But the pain in her abdomen was getting stronger each time make it harder for her to bear it. She decides to get out of bed and flips her dress a little to see her wounded stomach but found none there. Blood was also not visible in there at all. All that she feel is only the pain.
“What really happen? Did something change when Jieun suddenly woke up not on time in the real world?” She just asks herself. She then inadvertently looked at her face in the mirror. How surprised she was to see that her face was now too pale with bluish lips. As if this is not herself.
“Am I already dead?” She can’t think of anything anymore and that’s the only conclusion that she can make after what happen to her before. But if she was really dead didn’t she suppose to vanish from this world too? Why she is here?
“Don’t tell me I’ve been a ghost roaming here at the palace?!” Seeing her pale face and her dress that she wore at the time was white, was enough to make her feel a little surprised.
She then pinched her cheek a bit hard for more confirmation.
“Ah! It still hurt. So I’m still alive here I think. Why does Adele need to go back to Winter Region? Now who else should I ask about this? I will never come to Freya for this.” While she is confused by herself, the door of the room begins to open from the outside.
“Anna? You are here?” Liam looked at his wife with a strange look.
“Aren’t you always in your private room at this time to do whatever I’m not supposed to interfere with?” Liam questioned there as he felt that he had just seen Anna come out of their residence before. But why she is here? When did she come back?
“Oh, I just… not feeling good all of the sudden.” In a breathless state Anna answered the question.
Liam approached Anna there with a face that was hard to interpret.
“What’s wrong?” He asked while trying to get close to her. He just realizes that Anna doesn’t seem like her usual self and looks quite weak there.
“I didn’t know… I just feel like…”
Suddenly, in her ears it sounded as if a ringing sound that was too loud made Anna now cover her ears there while shut her eyes as the ringing sound is making her feel uncomfortable.
“Doctor! Her pulse is getting down.”
“She is bleeding!”
“Get more bags of blood here!”
“Melanie, stay with us!”
“We need to stabilize her fast!”
Her ears seem to be able to hear all the chaos. Like she is in the hospital and everyone is still trying to save her. She then feels difficult to breathe and starts holding her chest. As she was about to faint and fall from where she stood, Liam deservedly caught her.
“Anna! What’s wrong?” Liam sounded shocked there. Anna has never been as sick as he remembers so seeing her like this makes him not know what to do.
With her narrow eyes, Anna looked at Liam there who was now placing his hand at her cheek then turned to her forehead.
“You are getting cold and pale. What happen to you? Anna?” Liam looked so scared there. Anna almost thinks that he has really cared about her if she didn’t know him better.
“It’s… hurt…” She finally manage to say that.
“Where? Tell me, where do you feel hurt?” The way Liam sees her and talks to her now making Anna feel like this is just a dream. He never looked at her with such a look, full of attention and spoke to her in such a soft tone. But as Anna didn’t say anything Liam feel a bit frustrated there and now lifting her in his arm, and he put her back on the bed.
“I’ll be right back.” Liam wanted to find someone to attend her, but before he can go, Anna grabs his hand.
“I don’t want Freya to approach me. Please… Anyone except her.” She didn’t want Liam to bring Freya there to try to treat her. She knows what causes all this anyway.
“I will get our palace physician. Wait here, okay.” Liam wanted to let go of Anna’s hold on him but Anna kept talking there,
“Adele… Please ask her to see me. She will know what to do. I’m more comfortable with her.” Anna requested there even though she know that Liam not really fond of that idea.
Hearing her request to call someone from Elysium Land to come and heal her usually will hurt Liam ego so much, but this time he didn’t say anything and just watch Anna’s face getting weaker there.
“I will get her myself.” Not hesitating even a little, Liam said that made Anna feel so moved. She didn’t know that Liam could be this way. Guess she need to be sick to see this side of him.
“Thank you.” Anna said that. She is really appreciate that as she know its quite hard for Liam to fulfill her request.
He then ran out of the room to contact Arthur to send Adele here as fast as he can. Anna was only able to see her husband’s footsteps go away from her until she finally fainted there, losing her energy.
After the request is sent to King Arthur at the Winter Region, Arthur then continues to call Adele and tell her what is going on in the Dream Land castle. Using her powers, Adele is vanish inside the sunlight and reappear at the Dream Land in fast using her power. She started walking in there to find the King.
Upon arriving at the palace grounds, Adele saw King Liam’s restless face there. She never saw him like this.
“Your Highness.” She talks to King Liam in a polite way.
“Come here fast.” In rush Liam asks Adele to follow him to his residence in the north castle.
Upon arriving in the bedroom, Anna is completely unconscious there. Adele kept approaching her and checking her pulse to see if something was wrong.
“Her pulse is irregular.” She said there out loud while watching King Liam getting more and more incoherent.
“What happen?” Adele actually knows what actually happens, but just asking there so that Liam doesn’t suspect anything.
“I don’t know. Her body keep getting cold and her face is getting pale each time. She just said that she fell sick and suddenly fainted. Should I call Jieun to come back or something? If more people helping her, the faster she is healing, right? ” Liam didn’t seem to be able to think straight at the time.
Adele smiles in secret there before just try to push him to edge a little.
“But, Jieun is doing a mission for you right now.”
“Who cares about the mission! Anna is sick here.” Liam couldn’t contain his feelings at that moment.
Deep inside his heart he actually didn’t want Anna to leave him. He can’t even picture Anna to die and leave him alone. That is why he wants them to make the last wish together. But he never wanted to admit it.
Adele finally know there that it’s not just Anna but Liam also unknowingly is actually getting some feeling to her. He just too caught in his past life to realize that.
“Looks like your wait is bearing fruit Anna,” Adele said in a soft voice.
“Huh? What did you said?” Liam couldn’t catch what she was saying at the time.
Sensing something will come, Adele said to King Liam.
“Can you leave us for a second. I want to make a treatment which can’t be disturbed by anything even a little noise. Its probably take some time like an hour or hour and a half. But I promise she will be fine after this.”
Liam thought deep in there. Reluctantly, he stepped away.
“If anything happen to her…” He think to give Adele a warning but just stop at that.
“Please save her.” He changes his tone making Adele nodded with a smile now.
After Liam is gone, Adele holds Anna’s hand and helps to reduce the pain that she felt at the time. Moments later, Anna suddenly vanished from there leaving only Adele inside the room.
“It’s not the time for you to leave yet..” Adele said.
