Alex looked at him with disapproval but because Zeke already saw this coming, he immediately started to explain.

"You don't have anything to worry about. There are doctors here on stand by. I assure you nothing will happen. She is currently pretty stable. The good thing is she isn't showing any symptoms so she should be able to enjoy the rest of this week normally. Just prepare her for the surgery and make sure nothing happens to her externally, that's all. I'll be back after two days."

Alex relaxed and Zeke finally stood up.

He started to walk away but halted. "Also, sex is still safe for her. Just don't overdo it. I suggest just once a day," he added before finally leaving the house.

The sun was yet to rise so Alex headed back to Abi's room, their room.

He gently pushed the door open, not wanting to wake Abi up but to his surprise, his wife was already sitting on the bed.

Alex was about to greet her good morning when he noticed that she seemed to be trying to catch her breath. Worried, he rushed towards her and held her shoulders.

"Are you okay? Are you hurt? Come, I will bring you downstairs!" He was in a panic. Abi was sweating and she looked terrified.

As Alex tried to lift her up, Abi suddenly hugged him. Her grip on him was tight as she tried to stabilize her breathing.

"I'm fine… I'm not hurt… I'm just…"

Alex noticed that she was shaking and he gritted his teeth. "Did you have a nightmare again?" he asked, his voice tight but controlled.

Abi buried her face on his chest as she clutched his shirt harder. With just that, Alex already knew the answer. He caressed her back patiently until her breathing returned to normal.

"I'll take you downstairs," he told her and despite Abi's protest, Alex didn't give in this time. The doctors immediately checked on her and gladly, she seemed to be alright.

Alex felt the huge weight being lifted from his chest when they told him she was fine.

"I told you I am alright." She pursed her lips.

Once the doctors left the room, Alex gazed at her and kissed her lips softly.

"Tell me, what kind of nightmare did you have?" he asked her and he saw Abi's eyes dilate. He could see fear in them no matter how much she tried to hide it.

She swallowed and looked away, clutching the blanket.

"It's just a bad dream, Alex," she answered but Alex insisted on knowing what it was about.

His eyes narrowed a little as he spoke. "Was it about me?" he asked and Abi's lips began to tremble.

Seeing her reaction, Alex pulled her into his embrace. "It's okay, you can tell me."

"No!" she suddenly pulled away. "That's just a bad dream. You don't have to know! It's just a dream! It's just…"

Seeing her suddenly acting strange, Alex started to feel an indescribable unease in the pit of his stomach. Abigail never acted like this before. What were these nightmares about?

"Okay, I'm sorry… you're right. That's just a bad dream, so don't be afraid, okay?" He embraced her again, coaxing her. He could feel her messed up heartbeats. He knew she was terrified and he knew her nightmare was about him.
