Find Me In Your Labyrinth novel Chapter 114

It was past 11 pm when Jonathan came over.

Estelle held his hand from exploring under the blankets and quietly responded, "Not today."

Jonathan pulled out his hand, noticing that her voice sounded off. He turned on the bedside lamp and saw that her face was unnaturally pale.

Her eyes lost their usual sparkle, looking wilted.

"What's wrong, feeling unwell?" He sat on the edge of the bed, touching her forehead.

"Um, it hurts every time.” Estelle felt dizzy from the light and closed her eyes.

“You should lie down properly.” Jonathan covered her with the blanket, turned off the light, and left the room.

Estelle felt empty and, coupled with her stomachache, she couldn’t fall asleep at all.

She didn't know how long it had been when the room door opened again, and his tall figure approached, whispering, "Are you asleep?"

Estelle opened her eyes at once, staring at him in the dark, wondering why he was back.

"I'm turning on the light." He walked to the bedside and turned the lamp on.

Estelle squinted and saw that he was holding a bowl, smelling a strong ginger aroma.

Jonathan sat by the edge of the bed, his eyes looked soft in the dim light, "I asked the doctor, and he said boiled ginger water could help. Try some."

Estelle raised an eyebrow in surprise, "You made it?"

A hint of unnaturalness flashed across Jonathan's face, "Mhm, my first time making it. Not sure if it's drinkable?"

Estelle sat up, took the bowl, sipped it - it was scalding and spicy. She nearly threw the bowl away.
