Chapter 358

The car came to a sudden halt with the brakes screeching sharply. Both Sarah and Xavier were thrown forward. Xavier's forehead bumped against the back of the front seat, and a plastic clip poked into his skin. The pain instantly woke him up a little. Sarah wasn't so lucky. She collided sideways with the back of the front seat, and half her face was throbbing in pain. "I'm sorry, Mr. Fulton and Ms. Lynde. There was… a stray cat!" Timothy stuttered and looked at them through the rearview mirror. Xavier unknowingly released Sarah's wrist during that sudden jolt. His palm was empty, and a sharp pain shot through his head. After a while, he leaned back again. He thought he had dreamt of Lily. He dreamt of the time before she became unreasonable, when they spent peaceful nights together, and scenes of their intimate moments. The Lily of that time was as gentle as ever. She would stroke his cheek with eyes full of love and tenderness. It was indeed a dream and the opposite of reality.
