759 Doting Mothers

Last night, Darren listened to Xiu's chatter until late at night. Since the time she woke up, she kept rambling about random things. It was as if she really felt like she had slept for years and only now got the chance to speak again.

What Darren didn't know was that Xiu indeed felt like it had been years. And her need to speak this much also had a reason. She had a dream that she was stuck underwater. Everything before her was dark and she couldn't breathe. When she opened her mouth to call out for help, water gushed into her body and made her feel suffocated. She didn't know how long she was stuck underwater but she knew she couldn't call for help. It made her feel helpless.

Even after waking up when she recalled that dream, it felt so real. As if she had really experienced it before. But she was certain she hadn't. However, the dream still left her shaken.
