    Chapter 157 Get Lost!


    “Mom just called me,” said the beautiful woman, her expression filled with worry. “Daddy fell ill and had


    to be hospitalized. Do you want to head to the hospital first? He really wants to see you.”


    “Daddy?” she eximed, her eyes widening in panic. “Why did he get sick? Is it something serious?”


    “You’ll find out once you go and see him, thedy replied while hailing a car. “The driver will make sure


    you get off at the hospital, and Mom will be waiting for you at the entrance.”


    As the car door opened, she was unexpectedly pushed inside.


    “Hey She barely had time to ask any further questions before the car started moving forward, swiftly


    driving away.


    The sunlight in her dream was just as radiant as she remembered, causing her head to swim with


    dizziness.


    A wave of drowsiness washed over her as she sat in the back seat of the car, resulting in her


    identally spilling her drink.


    When she awakened once more, darkness had enveloped the surroundings. And to her disbelief, she


    was still inside the car.


    The car swayed, steadily progressing along its path. By the light of the moon, she could discern the


    scenery outside the car window-a rugged mountain trail with tall reeds lining both sides. Where is this?


    “Excuse me, could you please stop the car? I need to go back!” she urgently pleaded.


    “Sir, you’ve taken the wrong road! I need to get to the hospital! My father is sick!” she implored, her


    voice tinged with anxiety.


    “Sir, please, stop the car… Stop right now!” Her desperation grew with each passing moment.


    In the dream, she was merely five years old, her helpless cries echoing in tnovelxo fast updatehe


    air.


    But the driver seemed deaf and mute, holding the steering wheel and stepping on the gas pedal


    without


    any response.


    In a bedroom at Repulse Bay, sweat beads formed on her forehead, and Melinda felt as if her entire


    body was bound, unable to struggle out of the dream.


    “Stop the car!” she called out, her voice filled with helplessness and despair.


    Suddenly, she opened her eyes wide and took a deep breath.


    The number of times she had awakened from such a dream eluded her memory.


    It had be a routine, a disconcerting familiarity. Without ncing at her phone for the time or wiping


    away the perspiration on her brow, she closed her eyes once more, reliving those deeply buried


    memories in her mind.


    The next morning, Jennifer woke up in a bad mood as her face looked grim.


    On the sidelines, Stephanie attended to her and advised, “Miss Fox, after all, she is someone Mr. Fox


    cares about. No matter how angry you may be, please refrain fromying a hand on her today.”


    “She deserves it!” Jennifer sat in front of the dressing table, applying a mask while Stephanie had


    already. styled her hair.


    As the door opened, Melinda quietly appeared before them, her cheeks slightly swollen, her exhaustion


    cleverly concealed by makeup.


    Unbeknownst to both of them, neither noticed when Melinda had silently positioned herself at the door.


    Stephanie refrained from addressing her as ‘Mrs. Fox’ in front of Jennifer and opted not to greet her,


    simply standing by her side.


    Jennifer’s gaze turned momentarily cold upon Melinda’s appearance. She passed by Melinda,


    completely ignoring her, and headed toward the stairs.


    “Miss Fox.” Melinda turned around and followed.


    Stephanie trailed behind them, and the three of them descended the stairs together.


    “Miss Fox, please allow me three minutes to exin,” Melinda requested as they reached the front of


    the couch.


    Jennifer took a seat on the couch, appearing nonchnt as she adjusted her white gloves. “No need,”


    she replied as her voice filled with icy detachment. “Your exnation today is nothing but a cover-up


    you’ve been thinking about.”


    “Why won’t you trust others?” Melinda softly inquired, her tone devoid ofint, brimming with


    patience. “By refusing to do so, you only harm yourself. Perhaps I can assist you in finding a way to


    heal.”


    Jennifer snapped, raising her eyes with a look of disgust. “I have never encountered such an audacious


    individual like you, who persists in staying despite all attempts to drive you away!”


    Melinda’s face reddened and swollen, but she maintained herposure as she calmly exined, “I
