章 1046: There was hope

"No!" She uttered, almost out of breath. She could hardly hear her voice, finding it hard to control the pain gripping her entire body.

It was like someone held her heart in his palm and squeezed it tightly, rendering her paralyzed, unable to breathe. She forced her hand left and right, up and down, but to no avail. She remained just staring.

At what? That was the question. 

When she opened her eyes, everything in her dream seemed to vanish. Jacky could not picture any image and hardly remembered anything that had transpired while unconscious.

The only remnant that she had a dream, or more or less a nightmare, was her quickened heartbeat, the sweat on her forehead, shaking hands, and heavy breathing. But everything else became a blur as her eyes stared at the blank space above her.

"It was nothing but a dream." She told herself as she shook off the odd feeling that had cloaked her body.
