The Second Life of a Discarded Heiress novel Chapter 625

Hilda stared at Raymond, stunned and silent, unable to find words for a long time.

The two of them sat in heavy silence until finally, it was Raymond who broke it.

“Let’s go outside and talk.”

“Alright.” Hilda’s answer was immediate—she was desperate to hear any news about her daughter.

Before they left, Raymond turned to Manley and gave clear instructions: “I’ll be out for a bit. If the surgery ends, let me know right away.”

Neither of them could settle their nerves about their daughter, so they found a quiet coffee shop near the research center, somewhere private where they wouldn’t be disturbed.

As soon as they sat down, Raymond picked up the conversation right where they’d left off. “Ever since Citrine returned to the Carmichael family, I’ve been having these dreams. They come to me, night after night—I see her being mistreated by those people who trafficked her, then living with the Iversons after Sawyer adopted her. I’ve seen her time on Mirage Cay, and I’ve seen the end—how the Iversons, together with Theo, betrayed her and led her to her death.”

Raymond recounted every detail of his dreams, holding nothing back.

Hilda had doubted the truth of what Raymond had said earlier. But as he described what he’d seen in his dreams, a strange expression washed over her face. Shocked, she looked at him, her voice barely a whisper. “Why would we have the same dream? What is this, really?”

Raymond fell silent for a moment, then met her gaze. “Do you really believe it’s just a dream?”

She looked back at him, searching his face for answers, unable to speak. If these were only dreams, they felt far too real. Hilda could hardly tell the difference anymore.
