Nightmare
...The walls of the bedroom were just as how she had remembered them.
She saw herself running haphazardly through the rooms of the mansion.
There were no signs of Cree.
She opened the doors to the bathrooms, but he was still nowhere to be found.
Then she entered a secret room and found his collapsed figure on the floor. Everything was too late, and he no longer had a pulse. Everything ended with her bloody screams…
Back in the Hotel Mandarin
A shrill scream broke out through the room, waking Cree up from his sleep.
What happened the night before was embedded in his memory. They had drunk with each other, but Cree had not expected that their drinks would contain an aphrodisiac.
"I'm here, Xiaoruo," he hushed, and she opened her eyes.
