Chapter 733 Am I Dreaming
Even though Vivian said that, she was still quite relieved to have found a new career path.
Although she wasn’t short on money, earning her own income gave her a greater sense of security.
She always remembered how her ex–boyfriend, Ernest, had once mocked her. “If you hadn’t been born into a wealthy family, what could you possibly do?”
Looking at her income now, it was probably dozens of times more than Ernest’s salary as a lawyer.
“By the way, Vivian, how are things going with the Sinclair family? Has Ernest tried to contact you again?”
Last time, Ernest and Zachary had even gotten into a fight.
Vivian appeared particularly nonchalant now. “Things are great with the Sinclair family. As for Emest, he’s called me a few times.”
She took a deep breath before continuing, “Ceci, you wouldn’t believe how strange he is. Each time, he tries to persuade me not to have any contact with the Sinclair family. He even told me not to marry Zachary, claiming Zachary’s not a good person.”
Thinking about all this, Vivian could only shake her head at Ernest’s absurdity.
“He’s married, yet he still cares who you marry. That’s definitely odd.” Cecilia paused, then reminded her, “Vivian, the Sinclair family elders are decent, but when it comes to marriage, you should really think it through. You don’t want to have any regrets.
Zachary was a moody person. The key issue was that when he disliked someone, he would go to great lengths to ruin them.
Even though he was showing kindness now, Cecilia remained worried about someone like him.
”
“I know, don’t worry. I’ve already told Old Mr. Sinclair that I’d date Zachary for a year before making any decisions. I’ve also discussed it with Zachary. After a year, we’ll tell his grandfather that we don’t have any feelings for each other and end things. That way, he’ll finally give up.
Hearing this, Cecilia felt somewhat reassured.
“Okay. It’s getting late. I’ll head back now and come back tomorrow to keep you company. I’ll bring my laptop, or Jon will be on my case about work again.”
Vivian sighed. That little guy was more responsible than her actual boss.
“Mhm.”
Cecilia walked Vivian to the hospital entrance and only turned back after watching her get into the car.
This floor of the hospital was entirely reserved for Nathaniel, with the other patients temporarily relocated.
As Cecilia walked down the hallway, the smell of disinfectant was heavy in the air.
For some reason, it felt oddly cold, and coincidentally, a light in the hallway started flickering.
A sense of fear crept up on her, and she quickened her pace.
Pop!
The light burst, and suddenly, the rest of the lights went out as well.
Suddenly, everything around her was enveloped in darkness. She failed to notice a tall figure. approaching her.
“Ah!”
A large hand suddenly gripped her shoulder, and Cecilia screamed in fright.
“Who is it?”
The hand tightened its grip on her shoulder, and the figure leaned in, his familiar voice following. “Where am I?”
It’s Nathaniel!
Cecilia immediately recognized his voice, and her tense heart instantly relaxed.
“You’re awake? You scared me to death.”
Nathaniel frowned slightly and hesitantly called her name. “Cecilia?”
Unaware that something else had happened to him, she held his hand and groped her way forward.
“Why did you leave the ward after waking up instead of staying put?”
Nathaniel didn’t answer.
Cecilia held his hand firmly. Even though they were surrounded by darkness, she wasn’t scared anymore.
Finally, they reached the ward. She pushed the door open, only to find it was just as dark inside. The power was still out, and nothing was visible.
“What kind of hospital is this? Why is there a power outage?”
She pressed the switch, but there was no response, so she gave up.
Suddenly, the person behind her reversed the situation, grabbing her and pressing her against “Cecilia, am I dreaming?”
