Chapter 755
"Ahhhhhhhh!!!"
Accompanied by a hysterical scream, Leonard, who was lying on the table, woke up suddenly. On his pale face, there were large drops of sweat everywhere, and his gorgeous silk underwear was tightly stuck to his back, as if he had just been fished out of the water.
So... so it was a dream...
After struggling out of the nightmare, looking at the bright sky outside the window, Leonard, who was still in shock and almost exhausted, couldn't help but collapse on the back of the leather chair, gasping for air like someone who almost drowned.
It seems that he has been too tired recently, the work intensity is a bit too high, plus he just mentioned that woman, which aroused the fear in his heart, so he would suddenly have such a dream.
And the person from the Cleaning Bureau also said back then that she and he both had Speech Spirits, and could not get too close to him, nor could they use those strange things to attack him, so don't worry about her revenge...
Hmm... that's it!
After comforting himself for two sentences, Leonard, whose mind was slightly settled, turned around and shouted weakly:
"Mark..."
"Mark... where are you?"
"Here, I'm here!"
After hearing his call, the secretary outside the door walked in holding a towel and said flatteringly:
"Lord Leonard, after I finished the matter at the estate and came back, I found that you were taking a nap, so I didn't dare to come and disturb you. This is a hot towel I asked the maid to prepare, you wipe your face first."
"Hmm... you have a heart..."
After seeing the secretary's extremely normal performance, the last trace of doubt in Leonard's heart dissipated. He raised his trembling palm, took the hot towel, and wiped the sweat from his face.
And after seeing his bloodless appearance, Secretary Mark couldn't help but ask:
"Lord Leonard, are you... having a nightmare?"
"Hmm..."
After responding weakly, recalling the extremely realistic nightmare just now, Leonard, whose soul was shaken, really needed someone to help him vent his fear, and couldn't help but say with a worried face:
"I dreamed... we were walking in the corridor after finishing work, and then after you and I chatted for a few sentences, you suddenly turned into that monster child of the Baohua family, asking me where her body was thrown... and then..."
"Then what happened?"
Then I peed my pants... but how can this be said?
"Then I started running, and that monster child was chasing behind."
After skipping his embarrassing performance at the time, Leonard said with fear in his eyes:
"The long corridor outside our door became as if it had no end, and her footsteps were getting closer and closer. I almost ran myself to death before I managed to run out from the other end.
But after I left the corridor and fell down the stairs, it wasn't our estate outside the door, but... it was that family's estate! Also, after I was chased out of the door by that monster all the way, there was actually an execution going on under that big redwood tree outside the door!"
"Execution?!"
Seeming to be attracted by Leonard's strange dream, Secretary Mark's eyes flickered twice, his face was expressionless, but his voice was full of shock and he asked:
"Could it be... that one six years ago against Baohua... against that family?"
"It was that one... but something is not quite right..."
Leonard said with some hesitation:
"The place is that place, but... but the person being executed is... is..."
"Who is it?"
"It's me..."
After recalling the terrifying scene he saw at the time, Leonard's lips trembled involuntarily and said:
"More than nine hundred of me were pressed there with their eyes covered... and then one after another... one after another...
And at the beginning, I was just watching from below, watching and watching... I... I was pressed down by someone, and then I was also one after another... ah no! It was executed one after another!"
Ahhhhh!!! "Don't worry! Lord Leonard, don't worry!"
Looking at Leonard, who was screaming involuntarily, the secretary hurriedly handed over another towel and comforted him:
"That's all a dream, you don't have to care... what happened later, what happened later?"
"Later..."
Leonard, who was still in shock, took the new towel and wiped his face, which started to sweat again, hard. Maybe it was because he waited for a long time, this new towel was not only not warm, but even faintly cold and wet.
But he, who was tortured by the nightmare and had cold hands and feet, could no longer care whether the towel was cold or hot. Under the urging of the secretary's voice, which seemed to have magic, he recounted with horror in his eyes:
"Later, the execution ended, and that monster child appeared on the street and started laughing at me, so I... I ran back.
This time it wasn't the Baohua Estate, but our Emerald Feather Estate. That monster child chased me slowly while telling me that as long as I jumped down and fished up her body, she would let me go..."
"Then did you jump?"
"I... I jumped..."
Recalling the bone-chilling lake water, Leonard shrank on the chair, shivering and saying:
"I... I remember the location back then very clearly, so I found it as soon as I jumped down, and then... and then when I wanted to come up, the water plants at the bottom of the lake suddenly wrapped around.
Those wet and cold water plants seemed to be alive, wrapping around my ankles, wrapping around my hands, strangling my neck, and rubbing against my face wetly... I... I..."
"You didn't come up, and like that child back then, you drowned in the lake, right?"
"Yes..."
"Is that so..."
Secretary Mark pondered for a while, and then tentatively asked:
"The reason why you have such a dream, could it be because the Baohua family treated you well, and you felt that you didn't do it right back then? So... you feel guilty?"
I... feel guilty?
Leonard was stunned upon hearing this, and then shook his head vigorously:
"No! No! I'm not wrong!
They only had that marriage because they needed the support of the Jin Juan family, it was just a combination of interests. I didn't even see that woman a few times! And that child is not... Damn, Mark! What the hell are you talking about?"
"Sorry, I just wanted to help analyze the reason why you have these strange dreams. After all, you were indeed scared."
After apologizing politely, the secretary reminded warmly:
"Looking at your sweaty appearance, why don't you wipe your sweat again?"
"Hmm..."
After hearing Mark's reminder, Leonard wiped his sweat with the towel in his hand, but for some reason, the more he wiped, the more sweat he had on his face. The towel, which was still warm, gradually became cold and sticky, as if...
The water plants that had just strangled his limbs and nose and drowned him in the lake!
"Sorry, I was a bit rushed just now, and there are not enough hot towels, I hope you don't mind."
After apologizing to Leonard, whose face was dead white and whose lips were trembling again, Secretary "Mark" got up and gave up the doorway to the corridor, then pointed to the little girl standing behind Leonard, and reminded with a smile:
"Just make do with it, after all... it's time for you to run again."
"Ahhhhhhhh!!!"
