Dream Love : Dream Land - Chapter 158
“She’s back!”
“Thank God…”
Melanie, who has not yet opened her eyes heard all that as if she was conscious. Is she still in the hospital? She wondered to herself because the chaotic atmosphere was still heard here and there. But after a few seconds that chaos of sound disappeared immediately before,
“Open your eyes… Anna.” A voice now appeared there calling her real name. A voice she had never heard before in her life.
Slowly she did what she was told then. With her strength she opened her eyes and found that she was floating as if on a bed that was not visible there in the darkness. She sat down immediately because she was shocked as but once again the voice that had spoken to her before was heard again.
“Don’t be afraid. You will go to your world again after we finish here.”
She then looked towards the voice and saw a man standing looking at her with a full radiant around his body. He is the most beautiful plus handsome man that she has ever seen in her entire life. But who is he?
While she was wondering alone there, she began to realize something.
“The… Greatest?” Anna finally mentioned it, although a little hesitant there.
The man smiled there after listening to that. “My name is Ivan, and I’m the ruler of the Elysium Land. We finally met each other, Anna.”
Anna was so stunned, then. She never thought that she would meet this man in such a situation. It was after many years that they met. While she hopes that her arrival in Elysium Land will be the first time they will meet.
She then stood up and bowed her face slightly there, honoring one of the powerful Kings other than the King of Dream Land.
“You don’t have to do that.” He said. Full of meaning on the contrary.
“This is the first time we meet, so, of course I need to pay my respect. I thought we would meet when me and Jieun will be there in your land soon.” Anna was frank there.
The man is still smiling there.
“We don’t have a lot of time actually. You’re here because somehow after something happens to Jieun before, it shakes up the dimensions that make you might get stuck here if I don’t intervene.”
Anna was shocked there. Realization come to her now as what she has experienced before feels different than usual.
“Is that mean Jieun also experience this?”
“She didn’t see me yet if that’s what you’re curious about.”
Anna was silent there before starting to ask again after thinking deeply.
“Why are you showing yourself to me and not her?”
Lord Ivan’s smile was a little lost there.
“It’s complicated.” He said only that.
“What really happened?” Anna did not press on the things and now asked out of curiosity.
“She belongs to two different worlds. Also, her own power and the stone is clash to each other, try to take a dominant when her life is in danger. I can’t say it in detail as it’s too complicated to understand but that is what happen. ”
Anna nodded there even though she also didn’t really understand everything.
“Please don’t tell her about me in the meantime. I know you already promise Brian to tell her about me,”
“Why not?” This time Anna wants to know.
“She will know when we meet in Elysium Land. She will know by herself.”
“And you are okay if she found out that by yourself? About you are, her real father?” Anna asks that seriously.
Lord Ivan looked at Anna there. A word that he never wanted to say for many years was told by this woman now.
“I am not running away all these years. I want to keep them safe and created an easy path for them. It’s just… I’m too late for that.”
Anna smiles there… A painful smile as she knows this person’s story.
“You didn’t have to explain everything to me. I already know what you’re fighting for. Aera, already told me everything.”
“And you didn’t hate me for that? She is your sister and I’m the one that makes her life become complicated like that.” Lord Ivan began to ask there.
“You suppose to hate me more. I’m married to the person… who kill her.” Anna voice is crack there.
Both are now staring at each other.
“After everyone knows who she really is, things are probably going a bit tough for her. She is the heiress that everyone in Elysium Land is waiting for, but also a threat to the others.”
“Is this about the prophecy that has never been disclosed to anyone?” Anna is asking there. She is in between to know about that, but also didn’t know about that.
Lord Ivan wanted to open his mouth there, but he kept quiet and closed his eyes for a moment, as if he heard something.
“We don’t have a lot of time now. You need to go back.” He said.
“Whatever that is, I promise you that I protect Jieun at all cost. Even with my life.” Anna said that in full determination and Lord Ivan was still smiling at her before she saw herself there slowly disappearing.
“I’ll count on you.” He said at last.
“Hah!” She opened her eyes with a gasp, and her eyes, seeing a dazzling light that was a bit painful to her eyes not like before.
She tries to observe her surroundings at that moment and is slowly realizing where she was. The hospital.
She is alone this time in the room that she knows VIP one only she is there. Her face is covered by an oxygen mask, her hand is full with wire here and there also IV drip. She took a deep breath at that moment before opening the oxygen mask to breathe by herself.
“Looks like I’m being Melanie again.” She said to herself while massaging her chest there. Feels a little tight there.
A wave of pain returned to her not long after. She holds her stomach. Look like the wound is there and already been dressed by the doctor. Her mind then began to daydream remembering the man who had entered her dream. Remembering what they were discussing, but later she smiled a little.
“You guys are really perfect for each other. No wonder Jieun is so pretty like that.” She murmurs there while remembering about the Aera, her little sister.
But her calm mind suddenly turns into fear as she remembers about Beom-Soo and Jieun. Slowly she searched for a button to call the nurse or doctor who was taking care of her at the time. She wants to know about them.
After being patient for a few minutes a nurse and doctor finally came to her side to check on her.
“I’m sorry to ask, but the man who came to this hospital with me, how about him?” Melanie asked there, impatient.
The doctor looked at the nurse at the time,
“Oh, I know. Mr. Beom-Soo right?” The nurse said.
“Yes, that him. Is he alright?”
“I didn’t know the whole detail, but I heard nurse talk about him before saying that after he went into a surgery he fall into a comatose state and his daughter accompanies him constantly.” The nurse said that with sympathetic look there.
“Can I go see him? I am fine now, right?” Melanie looked at her doctor then.
“You just woke up professor. You should know that it’s not a good idea for you to move around right now. Beside its already night. You should get more rest and just go tomorrow if your condition allow you to do so.” Her doctor refuses to let her do that.
“But…”
Before Melanie could argue there with the doctor, one voice interrupted there.
“Its okay doctor. I will make sure that she will never leave this room.” Melanie pouts there a little after seeing Byung-Hun who is now walking into the room.
She knows instantly that whatever she wanted to do now is shattered into a piece. The doctor nodded thankfully to Byung-Hun and left her with his nurse. Melanie can only sigh.
“What about Jieun?” She just ask that. Didn’t want to argue about things that she can’t win.
“She is crying non-stop and refuses to sleep at all.” Byung-Hun said that.
Melanie looks worried now. Hopefully no more disturbance to the dimension due to Jieun, who refuse to sleep.
“Sarah is with her to accompany. So you don’t have to worry about her for now. And Eun-Woo has been brought by Professor Do-Yun in the secret lab as long as the investigation into what happened in our house is not over. Ji-Na is there with him. ”
“It’s better. A lot of people in there to watch over her and Eun-Woo.” Melanie said that before lying there again. Although her desire is so strong to see BeomSoo ondition, she just decides to just give up for now on.
“Just that? Not try to fight with me about this?” Byung-Hun is a little weird with the woman. Usually she will throw a fit just to make sure her need is fulfilled but not this time.
“I have no energy to fight with you now so just let me sleep peacefully.”
Melanie said that, but actually she wanted to see herself in the Dream Land as the last time she opened her eyes there, she remembered Liam worried face to her. So she needs to see it to confirm that she is not dreaming about that.
Not long after she is lying there she is finally asleep and open her eyes again, this time in the Dream Land.
