sleeping with medication usually prevented nightmares, it seemed he had developed a tolerance even to that now.
The nightmare, as always, remained vivid in his memory. His mother's gentle smiling face and Melissa's horrifying actions.
And at the last moment, the tiny savior who came to rescue him...
It was puzzling why this presence he had forgotten until now suddenly appeared in his dream.
"Ellie Yeo..."
But why did he naturally think of that child as Ellie in the dream? It was incomprehensible.
Simon, who had come out to the living room, couldn't calm down for a long time after that.
It was almost a week since Ellie had left his side.

On a peaceful Sunday afternoon, Ethan and Ellie visited a hotel in Jangchung-dong to scout for their families' first meeting location.
"What do you think, Ellie? Do you like it?"
"Yes, the atmosphere is neat and nice. How about you?"
"I'm fine with anything you like. Shall we have a meal first?"
