Chapter 214
I’m really hurting
“Alright, Roman, normally your dad is too busy with work to spend time with you. Now let him keep you company for a bit. Let’s go play that game. Let’s go! Astrid laughed and darted off, with Elio following, carrying Roman
But Roman kept on yapping and didn’t seem too interested.
They had a blast, and by the time they got home, it was already dark.
Even in his sleep, Roman would subconsciously clutch at Astrid’s clothes. She didn’t have the heart to wake him.
She gently placed Roman on the bed, tucked him in, and then headed for the kitchen.
Elio settled himself on the sofa for a breather. After a while, he caught a whiff of a faint medicinal scent from the kitchen. This scent was so familiar.
He mulled it over for a bit and finally remembered that it was the scent Astrid had on her when they first met.
Seeing her come out of the kitchen, he asked, “You brewing some sort of medicinal concoction?”
Astrid nodded, “Yes, a remedy for sleepwalking. I drink it for a while, then take a few months off before continuing.” A remedy for sleepwalking?
If she cured her sleepwalking, then she wouldn’t end up in his room in the middle of the night anymore.
But that was just a thought. He still hoped she could cure it; otherwise, there might be a mishap on set someday.
He glanced at her and asked softly, “Does the medicine taste bitter?”
“It’s fine, I’m used to it.” Astrid smiled and added, “By the way, I’ll be out of the country for a few days and won’t be home.” “Alright.” After Elio responded, Astrid placed the medicine on the table and went to take a shower.
Elio eyed the medicine box, reached out to take it, and sniffed it.
He poured out a bit of the medicine and took a sip, then scrunched up his face.
