Chapter 525: Nightmare

Around noon of that day, there was some movement in bed and Drayce realized Seren was finally stirring awake. He hurried towards the bed from the lounge chair he was sitting on the other side of the room.

"Seren—" 

Drayce stopped when he realized his wife was not awake but was restless in her sleep. Her face held a painful expression while her body was covered in a cold sweat. 

'Nightmare!' he concluded and sat at the edge of the bed. He reached out to hold her hand that was gripping the blanket covering her, only to get shocked as soon as their skins touched. Her hand was hot like she was running a high fever. Drayce immediately pulled the blanket away from her and touched her neck and forehead. Her entire body was burning with a high temperature which didn't look normal at all. 

Drayce tried to wake her up but she didn't respond at all and continued to stir as if she was in pain, as if something or someone was hurting her badly.
