Tangled By Fate

Chapter 559: THE HUANTED NIGHTMARES



The next day, Ovior got up from the bed earlier than usual. After freshening up, he went to the kitchen and made tea. Later, when he went to the office, he had his tea while being in deep thought.

Around seven o'clock, he used his communication stone to contact Sebastian.

Tybu has hilly areas. The hilly areas are covered in flower and fruit plants. Catherine and Sebastian bought an entire hill. They were designing a house to build one on that private hill. For a moment, they were living in a nearby hotel.

Sebastian had a habit of practicing swordsmanship early in the morning. When Ovior called him, Catherine, who was in the room, noticed it first. She took the communication device and hurriedly walked outside.

"Sebastian, you have a call," she called out

Sebastian took the communication device with his free hand and turned it on. Ovior's face came into view.

"I hope you are doing well, Sebastian." Ovior's stoic voice could be heard from the device.

"I am," Sebastian replied. "Thank you for asking. How do you do?"

"I'm doing well. Thank you. Is Catherine doing fine?" Ovior wished to know.

"She is... do you perhaps want to talk to her?" Sebastian turned to look for her but she wasn't there. "I think she went back to the room."

"That's not necessary," Ovior replied. "Did you see anything unusual about her?"

"Usual?" Sebastian frowned. "Usual like what? She looked pretty normal?"

"Does she not remember anything? Something she shouldn't remember - like the memory before her death?"

Sebastian was a bit nervous. He finally got together with Catherine. He didn't want her to remember something so painful and then leave him. "No, I don't think she remembers anything like that. She seemed fine to me. If she remembered..." He didn't want to complete the sentence. He didn't know what would happen if she remembered. His imagination wasn't that creative.

"Why do you ask?" he inquired. He recalled Arthur mentioning to him about Veronica bringing back Dorothy's life.

He knew Dorothy as he was one of the guards who guarded her. Since he could be visibly confused seeing a dad walking around, Arthur mentioned to him about her in case nothing happened. The rest of the guards were already informed. They would also keep it a secret. "Did something happen to Lady Dorothy?" he asked.

"No... I just wanted to check. Let me know if you see any change in Catherine's behavior." "I will."

After Ovior hung up, Sebastian went into deep thought. Soon, he went back inside the hotel. He found Catherine humming a song as she folded the dry clothes. It gave him a married-life vibe. He hugged her from behind and buried his head in the crook of her neck.

Catherine stopped her work and held his arms. "Did Ovior call you to get back to the tower?" she asked.

"No, he just wanted to know if we were doing well."

"It's been only a day and he misses us?" Catherine hummed. "I don't think so. I think he is looking for us so that we can work again."

Sebastian chuckled. It was exactly how Ovior was. He understood nothing except for work. He was glad he decided to take a month off from work.

"How about holding our wedding after we build our house?" he proposed.

"!!!"

Catherine was surprised. She thought they would take more time to have a good relationship and then she hoped one day he might propose to her. However, he did it so quickly, it took her off guard.

She raised her head and looked at him properly. He also lowered his head to look at her.

He was nervous. He wasn't sure how she would take it. "Are you upset?" he inquired. 'Should I have waited a bit more before proposing? I didn't mess it up, did I?' He was worried.

"N-no... it's just I wasn't expecting it so soon.

"Did we not wait too long?" he said. "I'd rather be married to you as soon as possible." Catherine smiled. He was right. They wasted so much time. She unexpectedly came back. She wanted nothing more than to have her own family and grow old with the man she loved. She couldn't control her tears. She laughed and cried.

"Me too," stifling her nose, she answered. "Let's have our wedding in our new house." Sebastian wiped her tears and kissed her forehead. Then, they hugged each other.

Magic Tower

Ovior wasn't satisfied with Sebastian's answer. He contacted Arthur.

The first thing his friend said was, "You look horrible."

Ovior felt bitter when he heard it. "Thanks," his answer was sarcastic. "I'm glad my friend cares for me."

"I don't. Don't delude yourself," Arthur scoffed. "I thought you were going to take a break. What happened?"

"What happened?" Ovior cursed. "If it weren't for you, would I still work? Come back quickly. I need a vacation."

"I was planning to come today at noon. Why are you in so much hurry? Is Dorothy doing

well?"

"She is having nightmares," Ovior said while rubbing his forehead. "I believe she can remember something."

Arthur understood the situation. "Is that why you didn't sleep? What did she dream of?" "She didn't say it. She didn't want to worry me. She lied about the dream. But I'm sure she remembered something. She was trembling when she went back to sleep." Ovior sighed. "Later at night, she muttered something but I didn't understand what she was saying. I just stayed awake in case she has another nightmare."

"How much does she remember?"

"She remembered until she came to the tower. She didn't remember anything afterward."

"That's nearly two years of memory. That's strange, isn't it?"

"Not only is it strange, but there might also be a chance she might remember everything. I don't want her to live with trauma for the rest of her life." Ovior sounded vexed. He was

worried sick.

"I've already left Nica in the Elven Realm but I still can ask her about the side effects," Arthur stated. "Did you talk to Catherine? Did she remember anything?"
