CHAPTER 6

THE SUMMON

In that dream, she never knew how Salviera family knew of them. They were just lowly Baron Family of the south not to mention they not even one of the wealthiest in the region.

The Title of Baron was given to her grandfather due to an unexpected circumstances. The old Partio Pralletel, a farmer who do not even have their own land.

Due to bestowing of Title, the King gave them a small land to manage. Her grandfather was able to flourish and extend the lad to a few more hectares.

To her knowledge, her entire lineage didn't even have the chance to go north. They were busy with their lives here so why did the famous family in the North, the highest title of nobility proposed a marriage to their family?

She didn't get the chance to know in that dream. She was busy avoiding her husband going to other nations and kingdoms.

"Engagement? I... I really do not know father. You know I don't even have a lot of connections here in the south" Clein truthfuly said. Even in England she doesn't have the courage to befriend a lot of foreigners.

She does not have the ability to mingle with other people.

"Uhm but Clein, they offered something that I cannot turn down. You know what happened to the East Gate where most of our land located, it was flooded and all of our crops was destroyed last time. I was thankful that the five hectares taken care by your cousin was able to survive due to this long summer, but I'm afraid it could not even cover the extent of our loss"

Same to what happened to that dream, this was the same words she heard. Due to his insensitivity all was lost including his beloved father and Allen.

"I understand father" Her father was caught by surprise with his daughter's words. She didn't expect that her daughter would agree this easily.

This is not the daughter she knew. Accepting this marriage means to stop her schooling abroad and be caged here in the Kingdom forever.

This is not the life his daughter dreamed!

"You must not misunderstand father. I did not yet agree to this marriage. I want to meet him first. "Clein was determined to convince the Salvieras to stop this marriage. She will offer her expertise on investment in aid of that dream to stop everything from happening.

Because of that marriage everything went downhill. She needs to break this marriage and stop Allen from falling in love with her.

It's true, she felt that Allen was serious to his feelings for her in that dream, but it would be ridiculous for her just to accept him automatically. She does not want to accept Allen just because of her conscience on that dream. It will hurt him.

"Of course Clein. It is better to know him first. As you know we do not have the right to oppose them because they are of higher status than us, but please Clein try to understand these things." Her father pleaded.

"I know father, you do not have to worry. I'll decide after I meet him"

Tauren smiled. He thought that it was right to send her daughter to study abroad. It made her more mature.

Then and there he wrote a response letter to the North.

Later that afternoon Clein decided to go out for the first time after her dream. She brought Prans as her escort.

They went shopping and visit different brands of clothes. Clein changed indeed. After being trapped and lives half of her life in that dream she can say that she is more sensible. She had the wisdom behavior of a thirty years old woman.

She was not obsessed with shopping as before. Her style of clothes even change. She like fashionable style but now she preferred elegant and classic style but still in accordance to her current age.

Not long after there were commotion not far from them...

"help!"

"help!"

"Grandfather wake up!"

A young girl was helplessly crying beside an old man who is lying on the ground.

Out if instinct, Clein rush on the scene without hesitation.

"Young lady!" Prans was shock and confuse where does Clein was going.

"Please give space, the patient need air." Clein excused herself on the crowd.

"Are you a doctor?" One of the passerby asked.

"Yes I'm a doctor" She firmly said.

"Lady do not tugged your grandfather of you want him to live. You must call the ambulance by now instead of crying... now keep your head together and call the emergency for help. Tell them your grandfather is on heart attack" Clein said straight.

"He...Heart attack? But my father does not have heart disease!" The young girl said.

"Are you questioning the doctor, now call!" Clein said while reaching the old man's pulse while counting the beat with her wristwatch. She was measuring the blood pressure of the patient. It's an old technique but comes in handy on an emergency like this.

Clein immediately put her bag aside and perform a Chest pump on the patient. The pulse is still there but faint. Lack of oxygen for a long time might cause permanent damage if not revive immediately.

She was sweating furiously! This body of her could not withstand this hard labor for a long time. She will not last long, but she knows that the old man's heart will come to beat again in just few more rounds of CPR.

The old man finally breathes air. The crowed was astonished to what they witnessed. This doctor is so young! Do doctors these days have baby face like her?

CPR is a common.... but if could not administer correctly it will bring even more damage. One must have training and certificate before administering it to the patient.

Not long after, the ambulance came.
