Chapter 2004


    As midnight neared, Jonathan flicked on his phone, watching the minutes tick by. A thought struck him,


    From N?velDrama.Org.


    and he essed the app connected to Estelle''s ne.


    Her body temperature and pulse were off.


    He frowned slightly. Had she taken the ne off again?


    He''d noticed she often removed it before bed, and when he''d asked her about it, she''d said wearing


    anything to sleep was ufortable.


    But even in slumber, he wanted to feel her heartbeat.


    After all, she wasn''t in his arms tonight.


    He sighed lightly, waiting for the clock to strike twelve before sending Estelle a message,


    [Honey, happy birthday!]


    The next day, as usual, Estelle was woken up by Lambert around nine in the morning.


    This time, it took her longer than usual toe around, and when she did, her eyes were clouded with


    confusion.


    "Re?" Lambert looked at her, concerned.


    Estelle turned to him, her gaze flickering, "Lambert?"


    He nodded immediately, "It''s me."


    She seemed puzzled, "What are you doing here? What happened to me?"


    Lambert''s heart skipped a beat, his expression softened, and his voice was gentler, "You were having a


    nightmare. I just woke you up!"


    "Really?" Estelle lifted a weary hand to her forehead. She used to remember her nightmares clearly


    upon waking, but today, she couldn’t recall a thing. All she felt was exhaustion and a desire to keep


    sleeping.


    Lambert handed her a warm washcloth, "Wash your face, it''ll feel better. Did you take the detox potion I


    gave you?"


    She nodded, "I did."


    "Why didn''t it work?" Lambert frowned deeply, murmuring to himself. Not only had it not worked, but it


    seemed her condition was even worse.


    He had consulted Lynn, who said the potion was developed by a Dr. Bill, and since Lambert hadn''t


    been fully involved, he couldn’t concoct an antidote.


    "It''s okay!" Estelle shook her head.


    "I will find a cure for you!" Lambert dered firmly.


    Estelle was nonchnt, "Please leave, I’d like to take a bath."


    "Sure,e down for breakfast after your bath." Lambert got up, his eyes casually flicking to her


    phone, and he asked with an easy smile, "Is it your birthday today?"


    "Hm?" Estelle looked up.


    Lambert pointed to her phone, "I just saw the reminder on your phone. It''s your birthday, isn''t it?"


    Estelle realized suddenly that it was indeed the 29th!


    Lambert said with enthusiasm, "Why didn’t you mention it earlier? I would have prepared a gift!"


    Estelle chuckled, "Another ten-carat diamond?"


    His eyes deepened, "If you like, I can do a hundred carats!"


    Estelle scoffed, "Does your family own a diamond mine or something?"


    Lambert nodded, "Actually, yes!"


    Estelle was speechless.


    Estelle replied calmly, "No need, thanks!"  Draмanovels.cоm


    "Don''t be!" Estelle tossed the washcloth at him, "Curiosity will harm you!"


    Lambertughed, "It won''t!"


    This time, Estelle simply said, "Thanks!"
