Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life novel Chapter 1486

At that moment, Allen's head throbbed intensely, feeling like it might split open at any second. He gave a small wave to Christina, not wanting to say much because of company protocols.

"Could you wait for me outside, Christina?" he asked.

Christina hesitated—this was the first time Allen had asked her to step out. Instinctively, she glanced at Fiona. She couldn't help but notice how attractive the young woman was. Was Fiona trying to use her charm to get close to Allen? Christina found it hard to believe that someone so young could possess the medical expertise to treat ailments that had stumped many hospitals.

"But..."

"I trust her," Allen interrupted, his expression tinged with impatience, clearly not wanting to discuss it further.

With reluctance, Christina backed out of the room.

Fiona checked Allen's pulse and found he was not only lacking in vital energy and blood but also in mental vitality.

"So, what's been going on with you lately?" she asked.

Allen shook his head. Lately, he'd been plagued by nightmares—every time he fell asleep, they would ensnare him. He couldn't get any restful or peaceful sleep at all.

Fiona gestured toward a nearby reclining bed. "Lie down, take it easy, and try to sleep."

Allen furrowed his brow, feeling a bit embarrassed. It wasn't that he didn't want to sleep, but the nightmares left him feeling more exhausted, as if completely drained.

"I can't. I'm scared," he admitted.
