Chapter 1217

What does reputation matter? The health and happiness of the people around me are the most important. But my Vonnie, can she get better?

The surroundings were in chaos, countless sharp voices pierced through my eardrums, and my world was spinning. My body was shaking, and black spots were swirling before my eyes. Suddenly, a pair of hands rested on my shoulders, and a familiar chest pressed against my back. I looked up and saw Reynaldo. Tears burst out like a broken dam.

I cried to him in a breakdown, “Vonnie had a car accident, what should we do? Will she… die?”

“I couldn’t.” Reynaldo’s voice was very firm. He looked around at the crowd with a sinister gleam in his eyes and said, “Try taking another picture if you dare.”

In an instant, the flashes disappeared, and the murmurs and curses vanished. The surroundings suddenly became extremely quiet, so quiet that in my eyes there was only Vonnie lying in a pool of blood, only the sound of blood gushing out of her body.

“Vonnie…” I called her name softly, walking towards her step by step.

Suddenly, my vision went black, and I instantly collapsed softly to the ground. The moment I fell, Reynaldo caught me. The moment when consciousness completely dissipated, I heard him anxiously calling my name.

It was as if I had had a long dream. In the dream, a vast sea of flowers shone brightly under the azure sky, beautiful as if in a fairy tale world. The spring sunshine cast a honey-colored halo over the entire sea of flowers. The breeze brushed over the continuous waves of flowers, carrying a sweet fragrance that wafted into the nostrils, refreshing the heart and soul. Vonnie wore a white wedding dress, barefoot on the soft grass, the white skirt was lifted and dropped by the wind, like a butterfly about to take flight.

Johnathan wrapped his arms around her waist from behind, leaning in close to her ear, and whispered sweet nothings. Vonnie’s cheeks were flushed, contrasting against the white shirt he was wearing. Behind me was a vast sea of flowers, blooming in various colors.

The two of them seemed to have walked out of a painting by Monet. Suddenly, Vonnie waved at me. “Ralda, come over quickly, let’s take a photo together with the four of us.”

Reynaldo gave me a gentle smile and led me by the hand towards them. But at this moment, the sky and earth suddenly changed color, and a strong wind rose. In an instant, large swathes of flower fields withered and fell.

The air was no longer filled with the refreshing scent of flowers, but with a terrifying and despairing smell of blood. In the strong wind, Johnathan suddenly disappeared, leaving Vonnie standing there all alone. I wanted to rush over and hug her. But she was so close to me, yet I couldn’t touch her no matter what. Suddenly, she smiled at me, a pale and broken smile.

She said to me, “Ralda, you must be happy.”

In an instant, a strong wind rose and buckets of rain poured down. What flowed from Vonnie was not rainwater, but bloodwater.

“Vonnie!” I shouted her name, but she was getting farther and farther away from me… until it disappeared.

“Vonnie… Vonnie…”

“Esmeralda, wake up, Esmeralda…” Reynaldo’s low call came, instantly cutting through the thick clouds and rain curtain. I woke up suddenly, to see the worried look in Reynaldo’s eyes. He held my hand tightly and asked worriedly, “How are you feeling? Is there anywhere uncomfortable?”

His palm was warm, and a gentle warmth spread throughout his body through the palm of his hand.
