Chapter 1953
When Lambert reached Estelle's door, he didn’t knock, knowing all too well that Estelle would not be
awake.
Presently, once Estelle slept, she couldn't wake on her own—she had to be called.
Pushing the door open, Lambert took a seat at the edge of the bed, gazing at Estelle's pained
expression as she slept. The sight twisted his heart with a sharp pang of distress.
What nightmares must be haunting her to cause such terror?
He had searched the world for medicine that would purge the toxins from her body, yet the effects were
minimal at best.novelbin
Estelle was still trapped in her dreams, unable to wake.
She once delighted in her sleep, but now, it had twisted into a cruel torment.
With a heavy heart, Lambert's voice softened as he called out to her, "Rella, wake up!"
"Darling, the day has broken; it's time to rise and shine!"
"The sun will tan your behind!"
