The Dream I Couldn't Wake From Chapter 9
"Daphne, I know I was wrong." Julian pulled out his old phone and eagerly showed me the photos on it. "These are all our memories. Have you really forgotten them? We promised we'd look through them together when we were old!"I took the phone from him and flipped through the photos. Then I let out a soft laugh and casually tossed it into the trash can beside us.The hope in Julian's eyes vanished instantly.He didn't show up again for a long time.…The next time I saw Julian was at Nathan's kindergarten graduation ceremony. He stood far behind the crowd and watched us from a distance.After the ceremony, he approached me and carefully placed a gift in my hands. "Please... don't reject it."Only after I accepted it did he breathe a sigh of relief.I turned to leave, but he hesitated.In the end, he called out to stop me. "Daphne, I've thought about a lot of things lately. For all these years, I convinced myself that I was protecting you until I wore myself out, and I sought a

After pulling Nathan back up, I stared down at the bottom of the cliff for a long time, unable to collect myself.Wendy and I had always been two mothers fighting over the same child.When had men ever truly understood the pain of carrying a child to full term, only to be separated from him?Julian walked over and tried to embrace us. "It's all over! Daphne, the truth is finally out. The three of us can stay together forever now."I pushed him away coldly. "Julian, we're already divorced!"I carried Nathan a few steps before I turned back. "Wendy was right about one thing. You weren't worth everything the two of us went through for your sake."…When I returned home, I quickly packed my things and left with Nathan. I wanted to put this entire mess behind us.Someone had filmed Wendy abducting Nathan that day and uploaded the footage online.The internet was divided between those who condemned her and those who sympathized with her, and the arguments grew more heated by the hou

The police stopped the long-distance bus.Wendy climbed off with Nathan clutched tightly in her arms. She tried to run, but the officers stopped her.Julian stared at her in disbelief. "Wendy, why did you take Nathan away? You know perfectly well that he's Daphne's only reason to keep going. By doing this, you're taking away the one thing keeping her going. How could you do this to her?""But Nathan is my hope too!" Wendy screamed at him. "What right do you have to take him away from me?"She turned to me, and hatred flashed in her eyes. "Daphne, wasn't five years with Nathan enough? Why can't you just leave us alone?"My heart clenched at the fear in the boy's eyes as he looked at me. "Wendy, if you genuinely wanted what was best for him, I wouldn't be fighting this hard to keep him."But you poisoned him for your own selfish reasons and left his stomach and intestines dangerously weak."You couldn't even wait for him to recover before you tried to take him away. I don't trust
The Dream I Couldn't Wake From Chapter 6
My whole body trembled uncontrollably.Then I dreamed of my mother again. After I had fallen asleep, she crouched beside my bed and sobbed quietly. "It's all Mommy's fault. I trusted the wrong man. I can't take the beatings anymore. I'm sorry, Daphne. Mommy has to go!"I desperately tried to scream, "Mommy, please don't leave me! Take me with you!"But it felt as though someone had strangled me. No matter how hard I tried, even when my face turned red from the effort, I couldn't make a sound.Benny rubbed his hands together and approached me with a vicious grin. "Daphne, you're all grown up now. Daddy can't have taken care of you all these years for nothing..."I backed away in terror. "No... No..."Suddenly, Nathan appeared beside me.He called out anxiously, "Mommy, what's wrong? Mommy, wake up! Don't you love me the most? Are you going to leave me behind?"I jolted awake and gasped for air.My clothes were soaked with cold sweat. Only then did I realize I had developed a da

I suddenly sprang to my feet and threw myself at Wendy with all my strength.Wendy slammed into the solid wall behind her and let out a pained groan."Why should I give you my blessing?" I shrieked. "I'm a lunatic now. I can kill someone and get away with it!"I hurled myself at her again and again, no longer caring whether I lived or died, until her cries for help brought the medical staff rushing in.They forcibly restrained me and injected me with a sedative.As my consciousness began to fade, I heard Wendy scream at me in frustration, "Daphne, I've let you have your way since we were kids! So what if you let me have this one thing?"Tears slipped from the corners of my eyes.If it had been anything else, I could have given it up, even if it meant sacrificing my own life. But this was my beloved husband and my son.…When I woke again, I mechanically began banging my head against the headboard.Julian sat quietly across from me, a trace of pity in his expression. "Daphne,
The Dream I Couldn't Wake From Chapter 4
As I stared at Julian's smug message, the hand holding my phone began to tremble.…I never expected Wendy to bring Nathan back the very next day. The boy hid behind her like a frightened fawn.Wendy pulled him out from behind her and gently nudged him toward me. "Daphne, I never meant to destroy your family. Julian is yours, and Nathan... is yours too!"She'd always been like this. When we were little and our parents bought us apples, she always gave me the biggest one. In middle school, whenever we went shopping for dresses, she always let me choose first.The day Julian and I officially got together, she smiled and teased me, "You know that if he's your man, Daphne, I won't touch him no matter how much I like him."And now, she was doing the same thing. She had had him, then tossed him back to me as if she were doing me a favor.I looked at her with nothing but hatred. "If you're giving him back to me, then get out of my house!"Wendy's eyes immediately filled with tears. Sh
