Chapter 185: The Dream Came True
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Master Howard!”
“What happened?”
A crowd of people poured into the room, looking nervously at Clarence.
Clarence sat on the bed, his head and body dripping with sweat.
It had all turned out to just be a dream!
However, the dream had felt too real.
Roger walked in and smiled at Clarence. “Master Howard, how are you feeling?”
“I’m alright.” Clarence shook his head, still shaken.
He looked at the crowd. “How long have I been sleeping?”
“Three whole days.”
Over the past three days, the Reed family had barely slept, ready to protect Clarence in case Dom attacked.
“Everyone from Thirteen Hall has come to visit you. Your girlfriend Cecilia has come here every day, but I was worried about your safety, so I sent her away every time.
“Leah has recovered and has now returned to Beth City. She sent word that she’s alright. If you ever want to develop a career in Beth City, feel free to contact her, and she’ll help you out.
“Your ex-wife came once. She stood outside the room for five minutes and then left.”
Still a little lightheaded, Clarence sorted out what Roger had told him. “Is Bill awake?
“How’s Kate?”
It was the first time Clarence had used ‘Life-Borrowing Miracle Twins Symbiosis’.
He had no idea if it had worked.
Roger had a friendly smile on his face. “Bill’s vital signs are clear. He’s slept and woken up twice and now is recovering.
“Katie’s alright. She just went to practice her martial arts.”
Clarence froze, then shook his head with a wry smile.
The average person would be weak for at least a week after Life-Borrowing Miracle Twins Symbiosis was performed on them.
Kate had dared to practice martial arts after only three days. She was indeed a tough girl.
Just then, Kate walked into the room. She blushed when she saw Clarence. “Are you okay?”
She had stripped herself naked in front of Clarence.
She felt embarrassed right now.
She had a strange feeling in her heart.
Clarence smiled. “I’m okay.”
“Here. This is some food I prepared for you. After three days without food, you must be starving.” Kate took out a pot and opened it. It was a large pot of mushroom soup.
He had gone three days without food, so he could not have anything too heavy at first.
He had to nourish his stomach with mushroom soup first.
Otherwise, his body would not be able to take it if he suddenly overate after three days without food.
Growl…
Clarence’s stomach growled.
He had not felt hungry at first, but the smell of mushroom soup made him feel hungry now.
Kate took a bowl of mushroom soup and handed it to him.
Clarence did not hesitate to take it and drink it.
Roger saw what was going on. “Let’s all go out and let Master Howard eat his meal and get some rest.”
Everyone left, leaving Kate and Clarence alone in the room.
Kate wanted to speak but stopped herself.
Clarence noticed that something was wrong. He put down his bowl and looked at her. “What do you want to say?”
“Nothing.” Kate turned her head away.
Clarence smiled knowingly. “Don’t worry, I won’t tell.”
“You knew what I was going to say?” Kate froze.
Clarence shrugged. “I’m not stupid. What else would a woman care about?
“I’m a doctor. Your husband won’t say anything about it when you get married.
“Gynecologists see a lot of women, don’t they?
“There are many doctors in the labor room who are male.
“Gender isn’t important when it comes to patients, so you don’t have to feel worried about it.”
Kate felt relieved at Clarence’s words.
A moment ago, she had been acting awkwardly because Clarence had looked at her body, but now, she felt relaxed.
“Master Howard, you’re a good man,” Kate suddenly said.
Clarence touched his nose. “Are you friendzoning me?”
“No, no!” Kate shook her head immediately. “I really just think you’re a good man. I’m not friendzoning you.”
“Got it.” Clarence smiled, picked up the bowl, and continued to eat the mushroom soup in the pot that Kate had brought for him. Once he finished it, his stomach finally felt better.
“Alright then. After staying here for so long, it’s time for me to go back to Thirteen Hall.”
After learning that Clarence wanted to go home, Roger came over to ask him to stay. “Master Howard, what if Dom tries to attack you again?
“Let’s wait until we get Dom.
“The fact that he dared to do such a thing in Mediterranean City has crossed a line with the Martial Arts Association, and I have reported this to the general president.
“I’m sure Dom won’t be able to stay here much longer.”
Roger suggested, “You can leave the Reed family house after we find Dom.”
Clarence shook his head. “I’m a doctor. I must return to Thirteen Hall.
“To put it more crudely, am I supposed to hide here forever if you don’t manage to get Dom?
“That’s not a good idea.”
Roger said no more after seeing Clarence’s insistence.
He sent over thirty of the Reed family’s top martial artists to protect Clarence.
Three bullet-proof Audis left Cloud Hill’s Reed Villa one by one, each taking a different route toward Thirteen Hall.
Dom would have no idea which car Clarence was in, even if he tried to assassinate him.
No matter how strong Dom was, there was no way he could attack three vehicles at the same time.
Clarence returned to Thirteen Hall safely. Cecilia threw herself into his arms at the sight of him. “I was so worried. Thank God you’re okay.
“I heard that someone tried to assassinate you, and you were unconscious at Reed Villa for three days. I thought something bad had happened to you.
“I went to see you at the Reed family house, but they wouldn’t let me in.”
Cecilia stomped her feet in anger. “It was so frustrating!”
“It’s alright, Cecilia. I’m alright now. People are watching.” Clarence patted Cecilia on the shoulder.
Cecilia bit Clarence. “I don’t care. If you’re ever in danger again, I’m going to kill myself.”
“Uh…”
Clarence touched his head. “You’re not going to die for love, are you?”
“What’s the matter?
“Can’t I do that?” Cecilia glared at Clarence, her eyes red.
Clarence was stunned, thinking Cecilia had been joking.
He had no idea she was serious.
Beep beep beep… Just as Clarence was trying to come up with something to say, a call came in. It was Miranda’s phone number. “Hello, Miranda?”
“Miranda? Haha. I’m not your wife, boy.”
A man’s voice came from the other end of the line. It was cold and sinister like a venomous snake.
Clarence’s voice deepened. “Rattlesnake, it’s you.”
Clarence would remember his voice forever, even through death.
“Hehe. It looks like you still remember me. You’re really lucky. You’re one of the few people I’ve gone after who have managed to survive.” Rattlesnake laughed.
“What did you do to Miranda?” Clarence asked coldly.
Rattlesnake tutted. “Tsk tsk. Why do you care so much about her when you’re already divorced?
“You have two hours to get down to Bat Hill in the suburbs, or I’m not sure what my lackeys will do to your wife.
“You ought to know, they’ve followed me through thick and thin, so they don’t have much time for women.”
Rattlesnake smiled meaningfully. “When one has been unsatiated for long enough, they are no longer human.”
“Don’t you dare!” Clarence’s eyes widened in anger.
Rattlesnake raised his hand and slapped something. There was a sound from his end of the line as Miranda screamed in terror.
“Who are you?
“What do you want? Don’t come any closer…”
Clarence roared in anger, “Rattlesnake, touch Miranda, and I’ll kill you even if I have to comb through the entire world to find you.”
Rattlesnake shouted indifferently, “Stop!”
The terrified voice of the woman at the other end of the line died down, but there were still sporadic sobs.
Rattlesnake continued, “Remember, Bat Hill in two hours.
“Come by yourself.
“Or your woman’s dead meat!”
Clarence’s head was buzzing as he hung up. He had just dreamed about something happening to Miranda.
Was his nightmare going to come true?
