?<strong>Chapter 1564:</strong>


    The more questions Elyse had, the deeper her curiosity grew.


    Yet, no matter how hard she tried, Cody refused to divulge anything. Frustrated, Elyse sought sce in a bowl of blueberries, popping them into her mouth one by one.


    Cody joined her, eating a few berries himself before casually suggesting, “If you’re not in a rush to go back, why not stay at my ce for a few days?”


    Surprised, Elyse hesitated. “Wouldn’t that be too much trouble for you?”


    Cody smiled warmly and shook his head. “Not at all. You’re all so easygoing; it’s no trouble at all.”


    Jayden, ever adaptable, added with enthusiasm, “That works for me too. I can handle all my work online, so I’ll stay here with you.”


    Cody’s grin widened. “Perfect.”


    The trio chatted leisurely for a while before Cody excused himself to prepare lunch. After their meal, Elyse returned to her room for a nap. However, sleep brought no peace—only the recurring nightmare that haunted her.


    When Elyse emergedter, Jayden noticed her tired, drawn expression.


    Concerned, he asked, “You’re having nightmares even during naps now?”


    Elyse nodded pitifully, her voice tinged with sadness. “I dreamt about him again. He looked so sorrowful. And it made me feel the same way.”


    Jayden frowned, unsure of what to do. After a moment’s thought, he suggested, “When we get back in a few days, maybe I can find a hypnotist to help. It might work.”


    Elyse looked doubtful. “A hypnotist? Do you really think that will help?”


    “It’s worth a try,” Jayden replied earnestly.


    With no better options, she reluctantly agreed to the idea, though her skepticism lingered.


    Over the following days, her nightmares became relentless. They gued her every time she closed her eyes, leaving her visibly exhausted and emotionally drained. Her listlessness was impossible to ignore.


    Cody, noticing her deterioration, voiced his concern, asking, “Elyse, what’s been going on? You lookpletely worn out.”


    Elyse replied softly, “I’ve just been having this nightmare… over and over.”


    Cody’s brow furrowed. “What kind of nightmare could affect you this badly?”


    Elyse exined everything—every unsettling detail of her recurring dream, her frustration spilling out as she spoke.


    When she finished, Cody was stunned. “Really? You saw him?”


    Elyse shook her head. “Not exactly. It was just a shadow, a silhouette. I couldn’t see his face.”


    Cody fell silent, his expression clouding as if wrestling with a troubling thought. After a pause, he asked, “When did the nightmare start?”


    Elyse thought back. “It started when Reba asked me to attend the Peace Concert.”
