Chapter 282 A Disturbing Dream
Following a long flight, the plane landed smoothly at laldoria’s Capital City Airport.
Kate and her group disembarked from the plane, while Linus cast a contemplative gaze over the environment. Unable to help himself, he remarked, “It’s been over three years since my previous arrival. Quite a lot has changed around here.”
Kate’s lips curved into a gentle smile as they traversed the aisle, catching sight of the stationed bodyguards awaiting them outside.
“Madam!”
Two bodyguards approached with deference. “Boss requested us to accompany you home, they conveyed to Kate
Kate nodded in acknowledgemem, then addressed her assistant. “Ill organise someone to take you home too. You’ve endured hours on the plane and must be weary. Take three days off to recuperate,
The assistant’s eyes sparkled with enthusiasm. “Thank you so much, Ms. Lowel
Ms. Lowe as genuinely thoughtful, granting me this time of “The assistant couldn’t contain her delight,
A fully–funded overseas trip with additional vacation time–she couldn’t ask for anything better!
Hendrick’s assistant was also given a vacation and happily went back home. Meanwhile, they all got into the car arranged by Eric, heading towards the Summer Estate.
This wasn’t Linus first visit to Summer Estate. He vaguely remembered the grand and beautiful mansion area that his sister had managed to ruin, leaving it in a state of disrepair and looking quite bald in places!
Fortunately, Summer Estate had now been restored to its former glory, looking every bit the high–end mansion it was meant to be.
As soon as Kate got off the plane and arranged for her assistant, she immediately began checking her phone.
Eric had replied to her message, advising her to rest well at home for a while. He mentioned that he was swamped with work and had some matters to handle personally, so he had to leave on a business trip and wouldn’t be able to wait for her return.
Reading his message, Kate pressed her lips together, a slight uncase washing over her. She swiftly ser aside the feeling and responded. “Take care. Ric. I’ll be here when you get back.”
There was still no reply from Eric for a long time.
Having spent time with Kate, Linus and Hendrick departed for home.
Kate took in the familiar sights of the cosy courtyard, letting out a sigh before settling onto the

The bed retained Eric’s lingering scent. She turned over and reached for one of his clothing, breathing in his distinctive fragrance. Finally, she nestled into a cosy spot, clutching the clothing close as she drifted into slumber.
The evening had already descended by the time she woke up.
She sat up from the bed, feeling dazed. The room was dimly lit, and the lingering content of her dreams weighed heavily on her, making it hard to breathe.
She reached out to switch on the bedside lamp and then reached for her phone. After hesitating for a moment, she decided to initiate a video call with Eric
After a few rings, Eric finally answered the call on his end.
“Ric…
Seeing him answer, Kate immediately smiled warmly, her eyes twinkling. She then teased him playfully, “I missed you! Have you missed me at all?”
Observing the playful demeanour of the woman in front of him, Eric chuckled softly. “I’ve been missing you, Kate”
Kate pouted, “But I didn’t get a chance to see you when you came back.”
Eric spoke with a gentle tone, reassuring her, “Kate, this trip is important. I promise to make it up to you when I return, okay?”
“Alright”
Kate nodded sincerely, her expression clouded with a hint of concern. “Ric, please prioritise your safety and always have guards accompanying you when you’re away.”
After a moment of silence, she spoke softly, “I had a disturbing dream… I saw you injured.”
Her words were cut short as a dull ache tightened in her chest,
Eric smiled warmly. “Dreams often show the opposite Kate. There’s no need for concern.”
Kate frowned slightly, her eyes fixed on Eric with a blend of perplexity and worry. “Ric, where exactly are you at this moment?”
