“Last night, I dreamt that you were in a car accident, and you left me... You left me forever."
Even though it was just a dream, it had never felt so real to Luke Huxley before. It was as if the scene had unfolded before his eyes. When he thinks about it now, the stabbing pain in his heart still feels intense.
His voice shook as he spoke. "I wanted to look for you, but I searched all night and couldn't find you.
"Thank God, thank God. It's just a dream."
A hot tear rolled down the corner of his eye, and he hugged Dexie even tighter.Dexie's entire body tensed when she heard Luke Huxley say, "I dreamed you were in a car accident." Her mind flooded with memories of the moments before her death, causing her to freeze in place. She also forgot to separate herself from Luke Huxley.Dexie finally felt suffocated from not being able to breathe, but when she snapped back to reality, she saw that Luke Huxley waShe didn't know why Luke Huxley had done that. Was it because of the dream he had?He said that he had dreamed that she had died in a car accident, so he ran to her at midnight to find her, without worrying about his own health. Dexie still didn't believe that Luke Huxley really had feelings for her at this point in her life, so her reactions were drastically different from her past life.Instead of not believing it, she didn't dare to believe it.How could someone who had fought in darkness dare to look at the light of hope?Dexie stood next to Luke Huxley's bed and stared into his face for a long time. She then raised her foot to leave, but the moment she turned around, a potent force grabbed her hand.“Don't go, honey. Please don't leave. We've been together for two years. Why are you really going to leave me, dear?" Dexie pleaded, looking at Luke Huxley's tightly gripped hand. She raised her head and met Luke Huxley's pa
Marilyn didn't mince her words. Initially, she refrained from taking Narda away because she had traveled a long way to visit Luke Huxley. However, now she was adamant about not leaving Narda to act insincerely in front of Luke Huxley.Narda's expression hardened at Marilyn's response. She then defended herself weakly, "Marilyn, that's not what I meant. I'm simply concerned about Luke Huxley."What if we don't hurry? Miss Hansley leaves, and something happens to Luke Huxley.""What could happen to him? Do you think the nurses here are neglecting their duties?" Marilyn scoffed, questioning Narda's motives. "I think you just want to stir up trouble," she added.Narda's eyes welled up at Marilyn's remarks. "Marilyn, have I ever offended you? Why do you have to think of me like that?" She then looked pleadingly at Luke Huxley, hoping he would come to her defense. However, he appeared lost in his own world, savoring the unappetizing toast as if it w
Narda's cousin, Jean Tisdon, lived closer, and Luke Huxley was her favorite brother, so naturally, he visited the Tisdon family often.At this time, their servants attended to Luke Huxley and Marilyn. Luke Huxley's mother was not in good health and was resting in another mansion, while his father was entirely focused on the company, rarely paying attention to the daily lives of his children.In contrast, old Mrs. Tisdon was very kind to him. Every time he visited the Tisdon family, old Mrs. Tisdon cooked his favorite food and took care of him as if he were her grandson.Narda, a year younger than him, often stayed next to old Mrs. Tisdon, and they naturally grew up together.Old Mrs. Tisdon would joke that she would get Narda married to him when they grew up.Luke Huxley cared little about relationships at the time; he just keptlistening, so he subconsciously thought he would marry Narda early on.
Roxane continued, "He was talking.""It's true that I was the one who recorded you in class. I wanted to send it to dad so he could see that you were teaching at Johnston University, but I didn't know it would end up causing so much trouble. Dexie, I'm so sorry. I really didn't want to hurt you on purpose. Please forgive me."Roxane's words made her seem very innocent, as if the whole incident had nothing to do with her. She shifted all the responsibility to Rodel.To protect herself and still appear fair, Roxane blamed her own father and made him look worse than he already did.Dexie looked into Roxane's slightly red eyes, laughed, and addressed Roxane in front of the entire class, "Would you sell out your own father just like that? Aren't you afraid that he would disown you if he knew the whole truth?"Dexie was hinting at a smile on her face, leaving everyone puzzled about her intentions. Her words made Roxane's heart skip a beat.Dexie's
Roxane pointed furiously at Dexie's calm, smiling face; her vision blurred as her body trembled as if she were about to fall.The next second, Roxane felt Dexie give her a tremendous tug, bringing Roxane right in front of her.Roxane watched Dexie lean close to her ear and speak with a voice that only the two of them could hear."Regardless of what you want from me, I will tell you three words. It will never happen."Dexie abandoned her nihilistic attitude immediately after speaking, leaving only a sense of coldness in her wake.Roxane had not spent a year at Johnston University cultivating her image as a weak and delicate girl at all. Despite facing a beating the day before, Roxane's current state would lead any guy to believe Dexie was being unduly harsh with her.As the saying goes, simping too hard simply won't do, as it will make you lose everything.However, before they lost everything, they would remain simple-minded.Ev
Dexie looked down, pondered for a few seconds, and suddenly came to a realization. Her precious, brief life was probably the only thing that could make someone as vain as Roxane give up her dignity and beg Dexie.Dexie's eyes twitched. She immediately understood why Roxane had humiliated her the day before, but she still chose to come to school and apologize so humbly.It was all thanks to Dr. Khlynt. Once she realized this, Dexie paid no more attention to Roxane.The Domino family could never be the center of attention, so they couldn't manipulate Dexie or gain anything from her.Dexie's birthday was still half a month away. Rodel Domino's obsession with obtaining Dexie would be even more intense after his humiliation the previous day.Something will surely happen in the next two weeks. All Dexie had to do was wait.As Dexie silently made calculations on her way back to the Teaching and Research Building, she encount
Dexie's smile wavered slightly, showing a hint of impatience."First, I am not an employee of Life Beneficial Technologies, so I cannot access their laboratories whenever I want. Even if I worked there, I wouldn't teach you. This has nothing to do with whether I like you. Can you understand if I explain it this way?"Narda remained silent for a moment, then sighed. Narda looked at Dexie, saying nothing for a moment, then sighed."Do you really dislike me because of Luke Huxley?" she asked.Dexie met Narda's gaze, feeling a sense of frustration. She had realized that Narda's interactions with her were not genuine; they were merely attempts to flaunt Luke Huxley and provoke jealousy.Narda's intention was to see Dexie upset and envious, but Dexie did not provide her with satisfaction. This realization left Narda feeling panicked, prompting her to abandon the pretense.Narda's actions stemmed from her belief that Luke Hu
As she spoke, Dexie remained calm the entire time, and her coldness easily shattered Narda's arrogance. In fact, behind Narda's haughty attitude was a pathetic emptiness. Soon, Narda could no longer contain her anger, and her face twisted in frustration. She shook violently."How dare you compare Luke Huxley to a toilet?""Wow! Not bad. Her language skills have already improved in such a short time."“I'm an excellent teacher, right? So, you also understand that you represent the worm in the metaphor, correct? You and Luke Huxley are. "You don't have to worry about anything, because no one can steal it from you."After finishing the last sentence, Dexie let out a big smile and walked away. Narda stared at her in disbelief."Dexie Hansley!"Through gritted teeth, Narda muttered softly.Narda's plan called for her to confront Dexie and celebrate her victory. She anticipated Dexie to be inconsolable and retreat from the scene in te
