Chapter 2100
Jonathan's gaze was locked on her, intense and unwavering. "So don't even think about leaving mebehind!"
Estelle wrapped her arms around him. "I haven't, not for a second!"
His voice was a husky whisper. "Ella, do you care about how I feel?"
"I do!"
"Then you should know I'm freaking out right now!"
She tightened her embrace. "I'm right here in your arms, why the panic?"
"But when you fall asleep, it's like you don't need me anymore!" He sounded genuinely hurt.
Estelle was at a loss for words.
"Ella," Jonathan's grip on her chin was gentle but firm, his tone patient and tender, "Wolf's passinghas nothing to do with you. He got in too deep with the Triceratops gang, there was no coming backfor him. To die without regrets, that might have been the best outcome for him."
Estelle pressed her lips together, silent.novelbin
"I'm not being melodramatic here. If you don't clear the poison from your system, it'll come back tobite you. What am I supposed to do if one day you can't wake up from your dreams? What aboutGrandpa?"
"And we're about to get married, to start trying for a baby. How can you think about pregnancy inthis state?"
"You adore Kya so much, don't you want a daughter just as cute?"
"Please, can you just listen to me?"
In the darkness, Estelle looked at him, her voice choked with emotion. "Jonathan, I don't want toforget them!"
"You don't have to forget them!" He held her tight, his heart aching for her. "Think about it, beforeyou met Wolf in Zion, before these endless dreams, did you ever forget them?"
"Some feelings are forever etched in the heart, I get it, I support you, and I'm not jealous. But youcan't honor their memory by tormenting yourself."
"Wolf made peace with his fate in the end, and he surely wouldn't want you to dwell on it like this."
Estelle closed her eyes, knowing Jonathan was right. She was using her dreams as a crutch, a formof self-deception and false salvation.
It had become a habit, and breaking it felt like abandoning a comrade, filling her with guilt and pain.
But she had to realize they were not connected. She needed to conquer her inner demons to trulywake up!
She couldn't let him write another farewell letter!
Jonathan leaned down to kiss her. "Can I make you happy, please?"
"Feel me, I'm real!"
He rolled over her, his kiss devouring her breath and thoughts, not allowing any room for strayworries.
Dreams were illusions, but he was the reality.
Estelle held him, her voice trembling. "Jonathan!"
"I'm here!"
Jonathan was eager, his hot breath caressing her face. "Baby, you're mine, every bit of you, dayand night, your thoughts, all of it!"
The snow was still falling, blanketing the city in a silent white cascade.
The biting wind howled, swirling the snow, but the cold only made warmth all the more precious.
Indeed, some feelings were carved into the heart, indelible, even if future encounters wereimpossible to come by, she wouldn't forget.
To cherish the one before her, that was the true meaning of survival!
The next day, Estelle was awakened by Jonathan's kiss. When she opened her eyes, daylight hadalready filled the room.
She was under the impression that they had never stopped.
Her body was sore and stiff; she sleepily gazed at him.
Was she this exhausted from last night, or was it because she took another pill? She hadn'tdreamed at all through the night.
Jonathan pulled away from her lips and sat up slightly, retrieving a pill and a glass of water for her. "Ichecked, you can take an extra one today after a few days off. Take it, be good."
He placed the pill in her mouth, and Estelle's eyes flickered but didn't refuse. She obediently tookthe pill.
Jonathan took a sip of water and bent down to let her drink it from his mouth, ensuring the pill sliddown her throat.
Satisfied, he stood up. "If you like it this way, I can feed you every day."
