Chapter 135: Chapter 135

Dylan was begining to think that Juliet is not just resting, but must have died or something, he kept looking at her for signs that could tell him that there is still hope that she will wake, though his sister have been saying that she is not dead, and that she was healing even faster than she had thought, but he was finding it really hard to believe.

He had his hands on his cheek, staring at the woman he feels he had saved, but have not been able to say a word since he brought her home.

"I have told you not to worry, she will wake up". His sister Vicky says, grabbing her things to go out.

"It's been weeks sis, she should be awake by now". He almost lamented.

"Things doesn't always work that way. This is not magic, it is called healing process, if she doesn't go through the healing process, it will be half done". She says, but looking at her brother, he looks like he had given up on her, so she didn't bother explaining further to him, she grabbed her coat and walked out of the house.

She is just going to buy somethings from the market for their dinner, she wouldn't stay long, since the market isn't really that far from the house.

Dylan was still watching Juliet, when he started dozing off. He had been keeping watch for too long, and his body was taking a toll on him, but then, he was awaken by her sneeze, he opened his eyes, thinking she would sneeze again, but this time, she didn't, she gradually opened her eyes, then she closed it back, before opening it again, this time, with a lot of difficulty. Her lips seem to have glued together, as it was also kinda hard for her to part her lips, when her eyes finally opened, Dylan was staring into her eyes, she opened her eyes wide, and seeing the face of a strange man, looking directly into her eyes, she remembers that someone had tried to kill her, and unconsciously, she slaps Dylan and made to flee, when he grabbed her by the arm.

"Hey calm down, you need to relax". He tells her, calming her down, It was after he pulled her back to the old bed, that she realized that she was not in the woods or the bush, she was in a house, a very old house, she tries to understand her surroundings by looking around, then her stomach gave her the first call, she was hungry, she needed to eat something, but that was not what was important to her at the moment, she wanted to know where she is.

"Who are you, and where is this place? After she must have noticed that the place is not even a modern house.

Before asking, she had thought that maybe she was having a very bad dream, and maybe all that happened, calling Sandra and getting kicked in the back and stabbed before loosing consciousness was all a dream, she decided to pinch herself with her eyes closed, but even after doing all that, she opened her eyes and still found herself in the same place.

"My name is Dylan, and I pulled you out of the river, my sister have been treating you since then". He explains, everything to her, and the things he saw, before she fell into the river, and that if he hadn't been there at the time, she would have died, which is what the people who tried to kill her wanted.

Upon hearing the story of what happened to her from Dylan, she knew just then that she never dreamt any of that, she had actually experienced all of it.

"I remember now, she wants to kill me, because of the things I know, she wants to kill me". She says, and Dylan watch her in confusion. The person he had seen, was a man, not a woman, or maybe there is someone else involved, he didn't try to interrupt her, he allowed her.

"But why would anyone want to kill you? He asked.

"Because of what I know". She says, and is about to continue when she choked on her words and started coughing. Dylan rushed into her sister's kitchen and brought her a drink, then a piece of bread, which she took in hungrily.

"Look miss....

"Juliet, my name is Juliet". She interrupted him.

"alright Juliet, you have to tell me all you know, so that I can help you, else I might not know how to help you". she was about to speak, when Vicky rushed in through the door. She was panting, to show that she had been running. The things she had gotten from the market was still in hand, but she looked like she had ran all the way from the market to the house.

"What is it sis? Dylan asked, Vicky made sure the door was locked, before she started talking.

"I saw a man at the market, he had a picture of you, (She says, pointing at Juliet) asking people if they had seen you, he even asked me, I told him I haven't seen you, but I was too scared, I feel he didn't believe me, and he might come here". She says fearfully.
