Capítulo 148: Nightmare

Tom's eyes snapped open when he heard Lucy making whimpering sounds in her sleep. He quickly reached out to turn on the bedside lamp when he felt her shudder in her sleep. He was surprised to see the beads of sweat that coated her forehead despite the coolness of the bedroom.

"Lu?" He called out softly as he tapped her, trying to wake her up, but Lucy shook her head and raised her hands to her face in a protective gesture that made Tom's brows pull together in a concerned frown. What was she dreaming about?

"You're having a nightmare, Lu. Wake up," Tom said as he placed a hand on her shoulder and shook her.

"Don't touch me," Lucy cried out fearfully as she opened her eyes and roughly pushed Tom's hands off her, before scampering off the bed while looking around the room frantically as though she needed to find an escape route out of there.
