Chapter 198
Valentino's POV
With a start, I opened my eyes and quickly raised my hand to my chest. The adrenaline rush was making my heart race, and I was perspiring a lot.
My eyes were prickling with hot tears as though I had been crying, and I was overcome with an unexplainably strong sense of loss.

That was simply a dream.
I briefly believed that I had actually passed away while I was asleep. I felt a great sense of relief when I realized that everything was only in my head.
I yawned and massaged my eyes with my hands. It was so excruciatingly painful that I felt as though a sledgehammer were striking my head.
