As midnight neared, Jonathan flicked on his phone, watching the minutes tick by. A thought struck him, and he accessed the app connected to Estelle's necklace.
Her body temperature and pulse were off.
He frowned slightly. Had she taken the necklace 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 uncomfortable.
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 to come around, and when she did, her eyes were clouded with confusion.
"Rella?" 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.
