His Contractual Mistress

Chapter 477 The Man in Her Dream (One)

Hailee had a broad smile, gazing at the door when all the representatives from construction firms she hired to build her city entered the room. They greeted her politely and expressed their gratitude for inviting them today.

During the meal, Hailee earnestly listened when they carried out brief reports. She was satisfied with the progress of her city so far. All the construction firms were highly competent and performed their job more seriously than they worked out in the past.

Thanks to her beloved husband, giving his precious break from his hectic schedules, candidly communicating with the firms and doing regular virtual conferences, discussing relevant issues concerning Dream City.

Also, Vincent reminded the board that completing the city in the shortest time should be the top priority.

The Davies Corporation will benefit the most because it would mean more production of goods manufactured by them. The corporation will provide everything the city needs when it opens to the world.

Jacob and the Board of Directors gave full support after Hailee proposed setting up a new city because of this exact reason.

The following day, Hailee has woken up by the same nightmare, and the usual, that man's face is blurred.

"Who is he?" Hailee asked herself.

*

Madison entered Hailee's bedroom. Hailee asked for her company, and she had a bad premonition about it.

"Hail?" She strode toward the bed and sat down close to her. She noticed Hailee was in a trance, so she shook her shoulder as she asked, "Hey. Do you want to talk to me?"

Hailee snapped herself back to the present. She fixed her eyes on Madison, looking expectantly at her as she nodded her head. She asked, "Can you help me, please?"

Madison met Hailee's eyes, then wandered her gaze, searching for something on her face. She wants to figure out what is in Hailee's mind.

"If it is beyond my capability, I am glad to help you. So? What is it?" She felt a little uncomfortable after she guessed the possibility, and Hailee summoned her. She settled the beating of her heart and smiled at Hailee.

Hailee lowered her gaze on her hands, clasping together above her baby bump. She tightened her grip as she spoke.

"Do you remember when Dad and I visited Mainland City five years ago?"

"Of course! It was your twentieth birthday. We were there and…." Madison halted as she recalled that day. "Why did you bring it up, Hail?"

"Aunt Isabella did something to me. Right? Madison, I had the same nightmare when I turned eighteen years old. Why does it come back? Also, it is less clear this time."

Madison pressed her lips together as she pondered. 'Lady Isabella is getting weaker. Could it be the reason?'

"Which part hasn't shown clearly?"

"Um... When I reached the platform where a man squatted in the middle. I don't know who he is."

Madison took a long moment of silence as she recalled what had happened five years ago. She was there when Hailee donated a significant amount to the facility for the patients with rare illnesses who could not afford the treatment.

"Did my daughter get lost on her way to the toilet room?" said Jacob worriedly. It was time for them to leave the facility and head to the airport, but Hailee needed to use the toilet.

"Let me look for Hailee!" Madison volunteered. She trailed to the end of the hallway where the toilet was located, but she didn't find Hailee inside. "Did you see Miss Davies?"

Madison asked the security staff assigned to that area.

"I noticed her climbing the stairs toward the fifth floor."

"I see. Thank you." Madison thanked and smiled at the security personnel. She followed the opposite hallway toward the stairs, hoping that Hailee would take the same route on her way back.

"Madison!"

She is right. Hailee would take the same hallway. "Hey! Did you get lost in your way?"

Hailee shook her head. She replied, "No. I came to see the view outside from a higher place. I noticed how beautiful it was. And guess what!?"

Madison noticed the blush on Hailee's cheek. She also had a broad smile on her lips and sparks in her eyes.

"Are you in love?" Madison teased Hailee as she appeared like one at the moment.

"Did you remember what I told you this morning?"

Madison nodded at Hailee. They indeed had a serious talk before they came to the facility.

"Is it about your nightmare last night?"

"Yes! And I found him!"

"Who?" Madison curled her forehead. But she noticed how Hailee's ears turned red.

'It seems like the princess finally found someone she likes romantically. Perhaps, love?'

Thinking about it, Madison got excited to have another love story she could write into the memories she would remember, even in her next life and the next ones.

"Madison, the man in my dream. I think it was the man in Room 0051."

"Room 0051? Do you mean the Physical Therapy Unit Area?" asked Madison. She wondered who among the patients Hailee was talking about.

"Yes! I was talking with the parents of the two younger patients there. Then I saw this man doing some therapy in the hall."

She recalled how he struggled to take another step, but he was determined to walk independently with no help from the machine, so he moved forward. She actually has this urge to run toward him and become his crutches to walk.

"Hail, are you telling me that the man in Room 0051 is possibly the same man in your dream?"

Hailee bit her lower lip, then smiled shyly. "I thought Liam was the man in my dream, but I felt nothing for him, so I dismissed the thought."

"Then that man is absolutely the ONE!" Madison concluded.

"Come on! I will introduce myself!" Hailee grabs Madison's hand, which the latter panic.

'No!'

Madison gasped. She didn't wear any gloves at the moment, as there were no other people around. But Hailee forgot not to hold her hand after she felt like on top of the moon.

The facility staff became concerned when two women fell on the floor. It's good that they pass by in that corridor and witness them losing consciousness.

"It was Miss Davies and Mrs. Montfort!"

"Go, and call for Doctor Derek!"

The staff rushed to their side, attended to the two women, checked their vital signs, and guessed what had happened to them, and they lost consciousness.

But there is what made them wonder…

"Why is Miss Davies kept holding Mrs. Montfort's hand?"

Instead of losing one hold after she loses consciousness, the two remain clasping hands.

Meanwhile, at the Exclusive Lounge Area…

"Sir!" Captain Jones rushed inside the room.

Abruptly, Jacob got up from the sofa and met his bodyguard halfway. "What happened, Captain Jones?"

"The princess… She passed out."

"What?"

It cannot paint the worry that appeared on Jacob's face. He went after Captain Jones to where Hailee lost consciousness, followed by Shun, Derek Williams, and Levi Montfort.

"Don't touch them!"

It was Shun who shouted when one nurse was about to separate Madison's hands from Hailee.

"Let them be as they are!" Levi echoed. He quickly kneeled on the floor and observed his wife. He pulled his handkerchief and wiped the blood gushing out from his wife's nose.

Levi looked up and cast a meaningful look at Shun and Derek.

"Let us bring them to the tower," Derek suggested after examining Hailee. He found no contusion or bleeding from her nose.

"What happened to my daughter, Derek? Why did she lose consciousness?" Jacob asked his nephew, with concern for his daughter's condition.

"Don't worry, Uncle Jacob. I will thoroughly examine both Hailee and Madison."

Jacob made a request. "Please, help my daughter."

Derek nodded his head before casting a knowing look at Shun and Levi. Understanding the situation, the two men carried Madison and Hailee; both were careful not to separate their hands.

Jacob attempts to follow them into the elevator, but Derek stops him.

"Uncle Jacob, Hailee will be fine. I'll make sure of that."

"I'm just worried that Hailee might get injured when she falls to the floor."

"I will perform a special test to determine what caused Madison and Hailee to lose consciousness, including any bruises."

"Alright." Jacob nodded his head and let Derek do his job as a doctor.

"Let's go back to the lounge, Mr. Davies." Politely, Daichi invited Jacob, leading him to another elevator.
