?Chapter 466:
She couldn’t see his face clearly, but she felt an overwhelming sense of fear, like prey being cornered by wild beasts.
The man then held her hand. Baylee wanted to struggle and break away, but she couldn’t even open her eyes.
Then he began to gently stroke her face. Once again, she tried to roll over and avoid his touch, but she still couldn’t move.
The next thing she knew, the man was kissing her passionately. The kiss felt familiar somehow, and the first thing that popped into her mind was Marvin’s face.
“Ahh!” Baylee jolted awake, her eyes wide open, her heart racing.
“What’s wrong, Baylee?” Ellie asked groggily after waking up from he scream.
“Nothing. Nothing, I just had a nightmare. It’s that dream again,” Baylee murmured the words, still in a daze from the implications of that cursed dream.
“Don’t be scared,” Ellieforted her in her state of half-sleep. “It’s okay.”
Baylee got up to drink some water. She needed a drink to calm her nerves.
She suddenly recalled the first time Marvin had stayed over. He had insisted that she drink a ss of milk every night, iming it would help her sleep better. She hadplied then, not wanting to argue with a sick man.
Baylee eventually got tired of it about a week ago. As a result, she discreetly poured half of the milk Marvin had prepared for her down the sink.
The dreams started around then.
And they never stopped since, like some ghostly vision that constantly haunted her.
A chilling thought crossed Baylee’s mind.
What if something was added to the milk?
What if Marvin had drugged her?
But for what purpose?
Baylee was certain that she had never woken up with any physical difort, nor had she found any marks on her skin. Marvin couldn’t have done anything to her in her sleep. So, why?

When Ellie woke up the next morning, she found Baylee staring at a ss on the coffee table.
“Baylee, what are you looking at?” Ellie walked over and sniffed the ss. It was just milk. “You look pale. Are you still thinking about your nightmare?”
“Yeah.” If she were being honest, Baylee was afraid that she had just stumbled upon an even bigger nightmare, one with real-life implications.
Ellie sat beside her and hugged her. “It’s all right. I’m with you.”
“Hmm.”
The pair freshened up and went to the cafeteria to get breakfast.
Before leaving, Baylee made a point of pouring all the milk down the toilet.
The university cafeteria was buzzing during lunchtime.
Ellie and Baylee picked out their food and settled down in a quiet spot.
