She was crying so sadly, her body shaking uncontrollably, as if overwhelmed by sorrow.
He immediately turned on the bedside lamp and called out to wake her up.
He didn't know what she had dreamt of, but he was sure that her dream was about him.
In her sobbing, she called his name over and over again.
He held her in his arms, comforting her trembling body, calling her name softly, while gently stroking her to soothe her.
Very soon, she woke up.
When she opened her eyes, there were still tears swirling in them, her eyes red, like a crying rabbit.
Like a frightened child, she buried her face in his embrace and cried loudly.
Matthew Saxon could only comfort her over and over, speaking softly and gently: "Scarlett, darling, don't cry, I'm right here, aren't I?"
"But... but I just dreamt you died." She sobbed in his arms, "You jumped off a cliff and said, 'See you in the next life.'"
It turned out she cried like this because she thought he was dead.
