Chapter 1715


    "Levi, no..."


    "Monique, wake up! Wake up!" Vivian called out. The moment she went into the house, she saw


    Monique waving her hands around, screaming and crying. She knew that Monique was dreaming in


    her sleep again.


    Five days ago, Monique caught a high fever after hearing that Levi was missing. The fever persisted


    for a few days. She was in and out of consciousness.


    It wasn''t until the afternoon on that day that Monique''s fever subsided a little. Her condition had


    be much more stable than it was a few days ago.


    Seeing that Monique''s condition was improving, Vivian, who had stayed by Monique''s side for a few


    days, went out to buy some daily necessities. She only went out for half an hour and this scene


    greeted her again the moment she came back.


    Monique was in a terrible state, making Vivian anxious and distressed. She took a paper towel to


    wipe away Monique''s tears hurriedly and said, "Monique, wake up! Wake up! This is a nightmare.


    Everything will be fine when you wake up."


    However, Monique couldn''t hear her. Her tears were like water bursting from a broken dam. She


    couldn''t stop them from flowing no matter how hard she tried, and they even flowed more and more.


    She cried out as if her heart was breaking into pieces, "Levi,e back,e back... You said you


    would marry me. You can''t break your promise..."


    "Silly girl, Levi is just missing, not dead. Why are you crying? What, will you only be satisfied if he''s


    actually dead?" Vivian asked. Since she could not wake Monique up gently, she grabbed Monique''s


    shoulders and shook her vigorously, yelling, "Monique, you useless girl. Wake up!"


    Monique had suffered such a serious injury in order to aplish the mission. However, she didn''t


    even mention it after she returned to Chatterton Town. She went about her training as usual.


    She didn''t ask anything more about Levi when he didn''te back together with her either. She


    didn''t even shed a tear before she heard the news about him. That was until five days ago when


    she received the news that Levi was confirmed to be missing. She copsed in an instant and


    fainted on the spot.


    Vivian had always seen clearly that Monique was just pretending to be tough. Her heart had always


    ached for Monique.


    She had been constantly advising Monique for the past few days. However, no matter how hard she


    tried, she could not get through to Monique. Monique either did not wake up due to her high fever,


    or remained silent in the rare instances that she woke up.


    She used to be so cheerful and lively, but currently...


    Thinking about it, Vivian''s heart ached so much that she took a deep breath.


    If it was anyone else other than Monique who was unwilling to wake up from that nightmare, Vivian


    wouldn''t hesitate to p her. However, that person was Monique, her younger sister whom she


    treasured the most. She couldn''t bear to p her. She could only persuade her patiently, "Monique,


    listen to me, please wake up. Everything will be fine as long as you wake up."


    "Vivian, what''s wrong with Monique?" Brenda, who brought some soup for Monique, asked when


    she saw Vivian shaking Monique. She ran over hurriedly, almost spilling the soup that she had


    cooked for several hours. "What''s wrong?"


    "It''s okay, Mom. Don''t worry. She just couldn''t wake up from her nightmare," Vivian answered.


    Vivian was fraught with distress and anxiety. She asked theatose Monique, "Monique, are you


    happy seeing everyone worry about you?"


    "Vivian, don''t say that. Why don''t you leave for a minute? Let me talk to Monique," Brenda said. Her


    heart ached for Monique. She couldn''t bear seeing Vivian rebuke Monique, even though she knew


    that Vivian meant no harm.


    Vivian was at loss for words. "Mom... I..."

    "I know you''re worried about her. You''re afraid that she won''t be willing to wake up. Don''t worry, I''m


    here. I''ll persuade her, you can go out first," Brendaforted Vivian. After she sent Vivian away,


    she sat down next to Monique, asking while wiping away her tears, "Monique, do you know how


    depressed I am when you''re sick?"


    "You don''t know, do you?" Brenda sighed. Her nose twitched. Tears welled up in her eyes suddenly.


    "If you knew it, there''s no way that you would let yourself suffer like this."


    Brenda went on to say, "You were born after I carried you in my belly for ten months. You''re my


    flesh and blood. When I see you on the brink of death because of a man, my heart feels like it''s


    going to stop beating."


    "Maybe you''ll wonder why. Let me tell you, there is no parent on earth who is willing to see their


    daughter hurt herself for a man, much less abandon her parents for him."


    "Yes, I know that he treats you very well, and you love him very much, but..." Brenda didn''t want to


    cry at first, but she couldn''t control her tears when she thought about it. She wiped her tears, only


    then she could speak normally, "Monique, if you really love him, you should live well and wait for


    him toe back to you."


    "Monique, he saved your life. He kept you alive so that you could live happily, not for you to hurt


    yourself like this." Seeing Monique''s mood improving, Brenda persuaded her with more effort, "Truly


    loving a person is not about dying with him, but to take up the responsibility of two peoples'' lives.


    Keep living well for yourself as well as for him."


    Brenda touched Monique''s forehead and said earnestly, "My silly daughter, think about it carefully.


    When you''ve got it, wake up. Don''t lie in bed anymore."


    "Mom..." Monique opened her eyes slowly after hearing Brenda''s words. Her gaze was filled with


    remorse, and an abundance of fear and worry.


    "Monique, you''re awake." Brenda wiped her tears. A gratified smile appeared on her face. "I knew


    that my daughter would be able to make it as long as she''s willing to do so."


    Monique blinked, trying her best to hold back the tears in her eyes, but the tears didn''t listen to her


    commands at all. They rolled down drop by drop, one after another on her cheeks. "Mom, I..."


    "Monique, you should know that no news about Levi is the best news for now." Brenda held


    Monique tightly, stroked her head, and consoled her softly, "Think about it, Levi is so smart and


    powerful. He''ll definitely be fine ande back. He''ll keep his promise to you for sure."


    Originally, Brenda didn''t know that Levi had promised Monique to report their marriage to their


    superiors upon their return to Chatterton Town after the mission had beenpleted. Monique had


    disclosed the news amidst her muttering while she wasatose.


    Although Brenda said that to Monique, she herself didn''t believe that there would be a miracle. So


    many days had passed, but there was still no news about Levi.


    "Mom..." Monique held Brenda''s hand tightly as if she was grasping at herst lifeline. "He''ll be fine,


    he''lle back, won''t he?"


    Though hope was frail, it was hard to kill it off. Brenda nodded heavily and responded, "Yes, he''ll


    definitelye back."


    "That''s right, he''ll definitelye back. He promised me." Monique wiped her tears hard. She took


    a deep breath and said firmly, "I will definitely bring him back."
