Chapter 151 Nightmare
"Master Gu, I just had a nightmare. Could you interpret it for me?"
The woman was wearing pajamas, sweat dripping from her forehead, her hair draped lazily over her shoulders.
His face was filled with fear.
"Um... in principle, it's possible. Tell me about it."
The woman's name was Zhou Lan. She was an insurance agent and was usually quite busy with work, either training or running around doing business.
Her child is grown up and attending a boarding school in high school; it's just her and her husband at home.
Zhou Lan was an only child, and her mother was not well taken care of, so after weighing the options, she sent her mother to a nursing home in the city.
I have an afternoon to visit my mother every week, which allows me to chat and talk with her, and it really lightens her burden a lot.
Even if I'm away on a business trip, my man is reliable and will check on things for me.
Zhou Lan's mother joked that her son-in-law was more reliable than her daughter.
But today, she had a nightmare in which her mother was locked in a dark place.
It was pitch black, and the temperature inside was extremely cold. She noticed that her mother's face seemed to be covered in frost.
Even her breathing became weak; she felt the dream was incredibly real.
She was jolted awake by her mother's cry: "Live well!"
"Master Gu, has something really happened to my mother? I feel chest pain and I'm quite uneasy!"
[Sister, get some rest. Don't overthink it. Dreams are often the opposite of reality. Maybe your mother is having a sweet dream right now.]
Yes, I've had a similar dream before. My family is fine, so I should get some rest.
"Here's what we'll do: send me your mother's birth date and time privately!"
After listening, the woman quickly sent over her mother's birth date and time. Gu Yunxi's brows furrowed deeper and deeper as she calculated.
Is your husband not home?
"Yes, I went out of town to meet a client and just got back today. I had dinner with him tonight, and he took a phone call and then went out. It's normal for us to come home late, since we all have work-related social engagements."
"How about this? Although it's 11 p.m. and many people are resting, the nursing home has caregivers on night shift. You can call and ask how your mother is doing."
After a pause, Gu Yunxi continued, "Why don't you go directly to the nursing home to see her? Your mother is supposed to be a long-lived person, but tonight she has a problem that's hard to solve. If it can't be resolved, something really bad could happen."
"ah!"
The woman covered her mouth, her voice choked with sobs, "You mean something might happen to my mother?"
"This is just my guess. Your dream might be a hint. Since you care about her and can't sleep, why don't you go and see her?"
"well!"
Zhou Lan hastily threw on a coat, grabbed her car keys, and went out.
"Master, will something really bad happen? Aren't dreams supposed to be the opposite of reality?"
"Not all of that is true. Her dream was very strange. It could be a hint, or it could be that her soul left her body in the dream and she saw her mother. In any case, it's always good to see her."
Zhou Lan was driving when she called her husband. He hung up immediately, and she had to call three or four times before he finally answered!
An impatient voice came from the phone.
"Zhou Lan, what are you up to in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?"
"Honey, are you still out socializing? I'm going to the nursing home right now. I feel a bit uneasy and want to visit Mom. Come over when you're done."
Zhu Jian, who was holding a woman on the other end of the phone, must have gone crazy to hear that his wife was going to a nursing home in the middle of the night.
"Are you sick? Everyone in the nursing home is resting at this hour. Even if you could get in, do you want to wake up all the elderly people in the building?"
Do you feel like you've made some dirty money and gained some skills?
Zhu Jian hung up the phone, looked at the beautiful woman in his arms, and said, "Let's continue."
"What are you still doing? Get up quickly, it's urgent!" The woman finished dressing and fixing her makeup!
"You rest here, I'll go check on things."
Looking at Wang Ziqing's shapely buttocks, Zhu Jian began to have inappropriate thoughts, but after receiving a phone call, his face fell.
"That old hag, what's she up to in the middle of the night? Did she discover something?"
That shouldn't be the case! She's been away on a business trip these past few days and has no idea about the plans. Could she be overthinking it?
He got dressed and took a walk in the park of the nursing home, unknowingly walking to the vicinity of the main gate.
He simply couldn't believe that she could come in so late.
Zhou Lan parked her car at the entrance of the nursing home, where the lights inside made the nursing home look exceptionally clean.
The security room was still lit, and Zhou Lan could see two people playing games inside through the window.
A man knocked on the window and came over, opening it a crack.
"What's up?"
Many family members visit the nursing home, and none of them remember whether Zhou Lan has ever been there.
"Sir, my mother is not feeling well and called to ask me to come and check on her."
The man glanced down at the game he hadn't finished, then checked the time.
"It's not visiting time yet, and it's already 11:30. Going in now would just be disturbing the peace."
"Brothers, I'm telling the truth. My mother isn't feeling well, and if this is delayed, I'm afraid she really won't be able to handle it. She's my only family."
Another man sitting in the chair looked up and said, "Madam, I'm really sorry, but usually, if an elderly person is feeling unwell, the caregiver will call you. Our staff here are highly qualified and won't hide anything."
"If you're really worried about your mother's safety, why don't you call her and ask?"
"That's right!"
Zhou Lan was a little slow to realize that she was too busy to keep up. If her mother were really unwell, she certainly wouldn't be resting right now.
I dialed the number, but to my surprise, the phone was switched off.
Zhou Lan felt uneasy and turned her gaze to her phone screen.
"Master, you have a way, right?"
Gu Yunxi nodded. "Try calling again."
Zhou Lan hurriedly dialed the number, pressing the button several times before finally getting through.
Hu Xiu's phone kept ringing. She felt like she was about to die. The temperature was getting colder and colder, even though it was only autumn.
That damned Zhu Jian, he tricked me into coming to this place.
They said Xiaolan had lost something important, and in the blink of an eye, she locked herself in the refrigerated truck.
It was cold, extremely cold. Apart from the pain, I felt nothing at all.
My phone is ringing at this hour; it's most likely Xiaolan calling. I really want to answer it.
The call kept dropping and getting disconnected, then dropping again and getting disconnected again. Finally, after the tenth call, Hu Xiu answered the phone.
Her voice trembled slightly, and although she managed to stammer out several sentences, the other end couldn't hear a thing.
"Mom, are you asleep? Am I disturbing you at this hour?" Hearing the murmurs on the other end, it seemed that her mother was asleep.
"Child, live well, be careful... be careful of Zhu..."
The call ended, and Zhou Lan stood frozen in place as if struck by lightning.
It has come true, everything has come true.
The dream she had tonight actually came true.
"Master, it's true, it's all real. What should I do now?"
